<span>1. Plasma membrane - also known as cell membrane. It is 'the skin of a cell', which acts as a physically controlling barrier for the entrance and exit of materials. It's made up of proteins and lipids.
2. Cytoplasm - everything inside the cell (but not including the nucleus). Much of the cytoplasm is a transparent and gel-like material known as cytosol; cell structures are suspended in it.
3. Ribosomes - these are organelles that are in charge of making proteins.
<span>4. DNA - Molecules containing the genetic code of a cell, which tells the cell what to do. It is located in the nucleus for eukaryotic cells; for prokaryotic cells, it is located in a part of the cell called the nucleoid.</span></span>

Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?

Doss [256]

Answer & Explanation:

Scientists call them all electromagnetic radiation. The waves of energy are called electromagnetic (EM) because they have oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Scientists classify them by their frequency or wavelength, going from high to low frequency (short to long wavelength).

Do you think a baseball curves better at the top of a high mountain or down on a flat plain

Serhud [2]

A baseball will curve better on the flat plain if it is higher than sea level but low elevation.

Hope this helped!

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

liq [111]

Answer:

The speed of water must be expelled at 6.06 m/s

Explanation:

Neglecting any drag effects of the surrounding water we can assume the linear momentum in this case is conserves, that is, the total initial momentum of the octopus and the water kept in it cavity should be equal to the total final linear momentum. That's known as conservation of momentum, mathematically expressed as:

$p_f=p_i$

with Pi the total initial momentum and Pf the final total momentum. The total momentum is the sum of the momentums of the individual objects, in our case the octopus and the mass of water that will be expelled:

$p_{of}+p_{wf}=p_{oi}+p_{wi}$

with Po the momentum of the octopus and Pw the momentum of expelled water. Linear momentum is defined as mass times velocity:

$m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=m_o*v_{oi}+m_w*v_{wi}$

Note that initially the octopus has the water in its cavity and both are at rest before it sees the predator so $v_{oi}=v_{wi} = 0\frac{m}{s}$ :

$m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=0$

We should find the final velocity of water if the final velocity of the octopus is 2.70 m/s, solving for $v_{wf}$ :

$v_{wf}=-\frac{m_o*v_{of}}{m_w}=-\frac{(6.00-1.85)*(2.70)}{1.85}$

$v_{wf}=-6.06\frac{m}{s}$

The minus sign indicates the velocity of the water is opposite the velocity of the octopus.

Explain what happens to the pitch of a cell phone ringing when the amplitude of a sound wave increases.

rewona [7]

As the amplitude of a sound wave increases the pitch of the ringing would be much higher (like if you were to inhale helium.. just with a phone)

By newton third law of motion, we know that if a rocket ship pushes down on the ground, the ground will push back up on the rock

Furkat [3]

We don't know that at all. The 3rd law says that the REaction is opposite and EQUAL to the action. We don't know where that "twice as much" comes from.
