What is significant about a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius? Explain your answer

Chemistry

andrey2020 [161]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

For most folks, a thermometer reading around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) means their body temperature is normal. Now, two scientists have an idea why our bodies, as well as those of most other mammals, consistently run at that temperature : A toasty body temperature helps keep nasty fungal infections at bay.

"One of the mysteries about humans and other advanced mammals has been why they are so hot compared with other animals," said study co-author Arturo Casadevall, professor and chair of microbiology and immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva. "This study helps to explain why mammalian temperatures are all around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit."

Casdevall's previous work showed that the number of fungal species that can thrive and, therefore, infect an animal declines by 6 percent for every 1.8 degree F (1 C) rise in temperature. This, he claimed, is why reptiles , amphibians and other cold-blooded animals are susceptible to tens of thousands of fungal species, whereas only a few hundred types of fungi can harm humans and other mammals.

GIVING BRAINLY !!!!!! Calculate the molar mass of MgBr2. “SHOW” Your work!
Dovator [93]

Answer:

184.113 g/mol

Explanation:  The atomic mass of Mg is 24.3 amu. The atomic mass of bromine is 79.9. Therefore, the formula weight of MgBr2 equals 24.3 amu + (2 × 79.9 amu), or 184.1 amu. Because a substance's molar mass has the same numerical value as its formula weight, the molar mass of MgBr2 equals 184.1 g/mol.

How does ph affect photosynthesis?
liraira [26]
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants create their food. It involves the operation of enzymes in the plant cells , and they work best at certainpH levels. ... Thus, as the plant's pH drifts away from the best pH, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease.

What is a single celled orginium able to do
vichka [17]
<span>Many life forms consist of a single cell. As well as simple bacteria, there are more complex organisms, known as protoctists. Unlike bacteria, they have complex internal structures, such as nuclei containing organized strands of genetic material called chromosomes. Most are single-celled, but some form colonies, with each cell usually remaining self-sufficient.</span>
