Five layers of the atmosphere are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Troposphere is the lowermost layer of the atmosphere which is found in the 0-12 km range. The temperature of the troposphere ranges from 15°C to 51°C.  Aircrafts driven by propellers can access the troposphere only.

Stratosphere is the layer of atmosphere that is second from earth. It is found in the 12-50 km range. Its temperature ranges from -51°C to-15°C. Jet-powered aircraft can access the stratosphere.

Mesosphere is the third atmospheric layer. It is found in the 50-85 km range. Its temperature ranges from -15°C to-120°C. rockets and rocket-powered spacecraft can access the mesosphere.

Thermosphere is the fourth atmospheric layer. It is found in the 500-100 km range. Its temperature ranges to about 2000°C. the International Space Station orbits in the thermosphere.

Exosphere is the topmost atmospheric layer. It extends to 10000 km above earth. Its  temperature is greater than 2000°C. most of the satellites that orbit the earth are found in the exosphere.

The density of atmospheric layers decreases while moving up along the layers. Thus troposphere has the maximum density.

the frogs tongue is anchored in the very front opposite to the orientation and anchoring of humans why is that?
Mice21 [21]
Frog's tongues are attached to the front of their mouths rather than at the back like humans. When a frog catches an insect it throws its sticky tongue out of it's mouth and wraps it around its prey. The frog's tongue then snaps back and throws the food down its throat.

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, non-irritant, odourless and tasteless toxic gas. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels such as wood, petrol, coal, natural gas and kerosene. Its molecular weight is 28.01 g/mol, melting point −205.1 °C, boiling point (at 760 mmHg) −191.5 °C (−312.7 °F), density 1.250 kg/m3 at 0 °C and 1 atm and 1.145 kg/m3 at 25 °C and 1 atm, and relative density (air = 1) 0.967 (1,2). Its solubility in water at 1 atm is 3.54 ml/100 ml at 0 °C, 2.14 ml/100 ml at 25 °C and 1.83 ml/100 ml at 37 °C.

The molecular weight of carbon monoxide is similar to that of air (28.01 vs approximately 29). It mixes freely with air in any proportion and moves with air via bulk transport. It is combustible, may serve as a fuel source and can form explosive mixtures with air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen, acetylene, chlorine, fluorine and nitrous oxide. Carbon monoxide is not detectable by humans either by sight, taste or smell. It is only slightly soluble in water, blood serum and plasma; in the human body, it reacts with haemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb).

The relationship of carbon monoxide exposure and the COHb concentration in blood can be modelled using the differential Coburn-Forster-Kane equation (3), which provides a good approximation to the COHb level at a steady level of inhaled exogenous carbon monoxide.

Conversion factors

At 760 mmHg and 20 °C, 1ppm = 1.165 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.858 ppm; at 25 °C, 1 ppm = 1.145 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.873 ppm.

In which type of cell must a mutation occur in order for an entire organism to show the mutation?
nignag [31]
For mutations to affect an organism's descendants, they must: 1) occur in cells that produce the next generation, and 2) affect the hereditary material. Ultimately, the interplay between inherited mutations and environmental pressures generates diversity among species.
