Suppose you have three water baths in front of you. The temperature of the one on the left is 22°C (cold), the one in the middle

is 25°C (room temperature,) and the one on the right is 44°C (warm). At the same time, you place the index finger of your right hand into the warm water bath and the index finger of your left hand into the cold water bath, and you leave them there for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, why would you no longer feel a difference in temperature between the two water baths?

Answer:

In the given case, after two minutes the person is not able to make a distinction between the temperature of the two water baths because in the index fingers the sensory receptors are present, which becomes less sensitive due to continuous stimulation over time.  

The dendrites of sensory neurons that perform a unique function of attaining particular types of stimuli are termed as sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are mainly categorized as thermoreceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, or mechanoreceptors. Mainly the classification of sensory receptors is done by the kind of response produced by the stimulus in the receptor. Generally, sensory receptors react primarily towards any of the four kinds of stimuli, which are temperature, chemicals, light, and pressure.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Option A, Misunderstanding: The diet fad is safe. Reason: Technical jargon has been removed or simplified.

Explanation:

In this question, the scientist must have been allowed to explain the cause of "not being able to prove that diet fad causes heart attacks" instead of just answering "No, of course not." A hypothesis is a situational scenario which deals with "if" and "then" conditional scenarios.

Thus, if some thing has been found causing heart attack , then the scientist must have presented his/her supporting statement or technical jargon which was removed from the article and thus viewer were not able to get the exact meaning of what scientist said.

Hence, option A is correct

Plants need bacteria in order to take up and use which element?
wariber [46]
<span>The answer is nitrogen. Plants cannot use atmospheric nitrogen directly. Nitrogen from the air must be converted into the different form so plants can absorb it. Thus plants need nitrogen-fixing bacteria to convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, which is available for plants to absorb it. </span>

A compound containing Na, C, and O is found to have 1.06 mol Na, 0.528 mol C, and 1.59 mol O. What is the empirical formula of t
dsp73

Answer:

So first understand that empirical formula refers to ratio of different atoms in lowest integer form.

To calculate this let's make mol C as our default ratio of 1* and divide everything by 0.528 mol.

Na 1.06/0.528 = 2.00757575758

C 0.528/0.528 = 1

O 1.59/0.528= 3.01136364

Na2CO3

It's sodium carbonate
