when obtaining energy, why mushrooms are more like elephants eating and not like dandelions absorbing sunlight.

Answer:

Because they lack chlorophyll (a green pigment in plants that helps them trap sunlight, used to manufacture their food through photosynthesis)

Explanation:

Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs. Mushrooms, just like every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. Only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use energy from the sun (the ultimate energy) to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs. Mushrooms are fungi (belong to kingdom Fungi) and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesis due to lack of chlorophyll.

The green light emitted by a stoplight has a wavelength of 505 nm. What is the frequency of this photon? (c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s).
Kitty [74]

Answer:

5.9405*10^14 Hz

Explanation:

Remember the equation c=v*λ

v=frequency

λ=wavelength

By manipulating the equation, we can get it in terms of frequency:

c/λ=v

Now convert wavelength to meters (1nm=m*10^-9)

5.05*10^-7m (2 decimal places were shifted to make the number between 1-10, hence the -7 exponent)

Use the manipulated equation:

(3.00*10^8)/(5.05*10^-7), which yields:

5.9405*10^14 Hz (or s^-1)

Answer:

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

Explanation:

Step 1

This equation is a nuclear reaction. So it can be an alpha decay or a beta decay

An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.

During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.

Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation that is showed.

A Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.

Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

How do you think dry cleaning works?
andriy [413]
<h2><em><u>During dry cleaning, the pump pulls solvent from the tank and sends it through the filters to remove any impurities. The filtered solvent then enters the cylinder, where it interacts with the fabrics and removes any soil. The solvent then travels back into the holding tank so it can begin the process again.</u></em></h2>
