How much energy is needed to heat enough water to make s cup of tea (250 mL), if the water is initially at 20.0 degrees Celsius
vredina [299]
To solve this question you need to know the specific heat of the object, which is water. The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C = 4.2<span>joule/gram °C. The energy needed would be:

Q= c*</span>m*ΔT
Q= 1 calorie/gram °C * 250 g * (85-25°C )
Q= 15000 calorie= 63000J

In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms must alter the composition of their plasma membranes to maintain
katrin [286]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

The cell membrane is essentially composed of the following:

  • phospholipids
  • cholesterol
  • proteins

The phospholipid consists of a <em>hydrophilic </em>phosphate 'head' and the tail is the <em>hydrophobic</em> fatty acid chain.When cellular membranes form,phospholipids collect into two layers in light of these hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The phosphate heads in each layer face the fluid or watery condition on either side, and the tails conceal away from the water between the layers of heads, since they are hydrophobic.

There are 3 main factors that greatly influence the fluidity of the plasma membrane:

  • temperature
  • cholesterol
  • saturated and unsaturated fatty acids

A geneticist collected data of a population of mice. Of the 50 mice, 12 were homozygous black (BB), 24 were heterozygous black (
Sauron [17]

Answer:

option C: B = 0.48; b = 0.52

Explanation:

Of the 50 mice, 12 were homozygous black (BB), 24 were heterozygous black (Bb), and 14 were brown (bb).

BB        Bb       bb    Total

12     +  24    +  14   =  50

the formular for alleleic frequency (p) is (BB+ Bb/2) / total,

q = (bb + Bb/2) / total

Allelic frequecy of B (p) is (12 + 24/2) /50 = 12 + 12 = 24/50 = 0.48

Allelic frequency of b (q) is (14 + 24/2) / 50= 14 + 12 = 26/50 = 0.52

check p + q = 1; 0.48 + 0.52 = 1
