If you were to suddenly transport to Jupiter, what would happen to your mass and weight?

2 answers:

8 0

Mass is the quantity of matter in any given thing, and will remain unchanged until material is added or removed to that particular thing. Weight however, is a measurement that is dependent on gravity. As gravitational force increases, so does weight. A person on Jupiter would weigh more than they would on Earth, but they would have the same mass no matter where they are in the universe.

Your mass would not change... it's a constant. However, your weight would increase, because the force of gravity (directly related to the mass of the planet) would increase substantially. (Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the two objects in the field, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them). You can thank Newton for that equation.

Identify two specific populations that most likely increased in number after the mountain lion population decreased. Explain why

bezimeni [28]

Any change that occurs at any link of a trophic web will affect the other links. The two specific populations that most likely increased in number after the mountain lion population decreased are rabbits and deers.

----------------------------

The trophic web is a relationship process between different organisms, through which occurs transference of energy. The ones placed at lower levels pass energy to the ones at the higher levels.

Organisms at each level feed on the preceding one and become food for the next one.

The first link corresponds to a producer organism -autotroph-.

The following links are the consumers -heterotrophs-: herbivores and carnivores.

The last links are the decomposers that degrade organic matter from dead organisms.

As it is a web, all organisms are equilibrated until a change occurs.

When the change affects any of the involved links, there can be a cascade effect on the web.

A change in a link population size (increasing or decreasing) will affect the superior links and the immediately anterior link.

Also, when two or more species are competing for the same source of food, a change in any of the population sizes will affect the other ones.

According to the provided trophic web, puma feeds on deer and rabbit.

Since puma was killed, their population size sharply decreased.

This fact followed the predator-prey cycle, in which the predator regulates the prey population size and vice-versa. When there is a decrease in the predator population size, the prey population increases in size because of the absence of their natural predators.

In the absence of puma, deer and rabbits increase their population size. They live in an environment with no predators and enough resources.

The number of individuals of each species increased, and the amount of food consumed increased too.

This change negatively affected grasses and grains, which were over-consumed. Also, crickets and mice were affected too because they compete for the same food source.

So, cascade effects would be as follows,

1) The decreased in the puma population size caused an increase in the deer and rabbit population size.

2) The increase in the deer and rabbit population size caused a decrease in the grains and grasses species population, because they were over consumed.

3) The decrease in grains and grasses caused a decrease in the cricket and mouse population, because they feed on the first ones, competing with deer and rabbits for food.

The two specific populations that most likely increased in number after the mountain lion population decreased are rabbits and deers.

Emulsion of fatty acids is necessary to _____.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

c. increase the surface area available for hydrolysis by lipase

Explanation:

Emulsification of fats(fatty acid) is a chemical reaction where large molecules(globules) of fats are broken down into a smaller molecules (droplets) by the action of an emulsifier.

In the human body, emulsification takes places in the duodenum during the process of digestion of fats. When large fat molecules have been broken down into smaller fat molecules by action of an emulsifier called bile salts from the gall bladder, a larger surface area is created which makes it possible for the enzyme lipase from the pancreas to react with or act on fat molecules through the process of hydrolysis thereby converting the fats to fatty acids and glycerol for use by the body.

process requiring energy for the movement of particles across a cell membrane across against the concentration gradient

natta225 [31]

This process is active transport.

Unlike other methods such as diffusion or osmosis, active transport requires extra energy provided by the organism from such as cellular respiration. In addition, they also require a carrier protein, which can change its shape to bring the substance through the cell membrane.

Some examples requiring active transport may include root hair cells absorbing mineral ions, or our small intestine absorbing digested nutrients into our body.
