Answer:

Carbon will act as backbone for organic molecules

Explanation:

Life is based on carbon; substances in organic chemistry where carbon is a key element is the organic chemistry analysis. The characteristics of carbon make it the cornerstone of organic molecules that make up living substances. Carbon can create really lengthy interlocking chains of C-C bonds. It helps carbon to form the foundation of carbon-containing organic compounds, the base of all established organic livelihoods.

After the body has begun shivering, what explains why it would stop shivering?
Oksana_A [137]
The body shivers to produce energy and it uses the energy to keep it warm. The body would stop shivering when it has produced enough energy to keep it warm and the atmosphere around it has got warmer

(TCO 5) The relationship between Celsius (º C) and Fahrenheit (º F) degree of measuring temperature is linear. Find the linear e
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)

Explanation:

Given that

32° F corresponds to 0 °C.  ---Point 1

212° F corresponds to 100 °C.----Point 2

We know that if two point is given that equation of line can be found as

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_2}(x-x_1)

Lets C in y- direction and F in x- direction,so we can say that

C-C_1=\dfrac{C_2-C_1}{F_2-F_2}(F-F_1)

C-0=\dfrac{100-0}{32-212}(F-32)

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)

So the linear relationship is

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)

A volumetric flask made of Pyrex is calibrated at 20.0°C. It is filled to the 285-mL mark with 40.5°C glycerin. After the flask
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

V_f = 287.04 mL

Explanation:

We are given the initial/original volume of the glycerine as 285 mL.

Now, after it is finally cooled back to 20.0 °C , its volume is given by the formula;

V_f = V_i (1 + βΔT)

Where;

V_f is the final volume

V_i is the original volume = 285 mL

β is the coefficient of expansion of glycerine and from online tables, it has a value of 5.97 × 10^(-4) °C^(−1)

Δt is change in temperature = final temperature - initial temperature = 32 - 20 = 12 °C

Thus, plugging in relevant values;

V_f = 285(1 + (5.97 × 10^(-4) × 12))

V_f = 287.04 mL

Why might exposing astronauts to weightlessness be harmful?
love history [14]
The body doesn't have to work as hard when there's no gravity for it to work against, so it becomes accustomed to a much lower work load on every level. It leads to lower bone mass and weaker muscles, including the heart, leading to a drop in blood pressure that can eventually build up to create problems with cognitive function. After so long, minor accidents can lead to major, even life threatening problems. A simple bump that would do little more than leave a bruise on you and I can result in a broken femur bone or broken neck on an astronaut who has been exposed to a weightless environment for too long.

This is one of the several hurdles that must be overcome in order for a manned mission to Mars to succeed. Exposure to a weightless environment on the order of roughly two years for a manned Mars mission would be so degrading to the body that the rough, turbulent re-entry into Earth's atmosphere might prove to be too violent for an astronaut to survive.

The problem is bones.

On Earth, every time you do something with "impact" (like walking), there are microcracks in your bones. Calcium is used by the body to fix these cracks... and that is how the bones grow and become strong.

No weight = no impact = no cracks = no "repairs" being done by the body = the body gets rid of un-neede calcium and bones become brittle and weak.

There are some other operations in the body that require gravity as a "director", or resistance to movement as a driver of change (think of muscles in the legs, when there is no need to walk).

The organ themelves are (generally) OK since many things can work in any orientation.
