Nectar contains a high concentration of sucrose (sugar).

When hummingbirds ingest the nectar, their cells use oxygen to convert it into carbon dioxide and water.

The oxidation of sucrose releases a large amount of energy, which the birds can use for flapping their wings, etc.

5. A hollow glass sphere has a volume of 350 mL and

Rina8888 [55]

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume of a hallow glass sphere is 350 mL

Specific gravity is 1.252

We need to find the weight of the sphere. The ratio of density of substance to the density of water is called specific gravity.

The density of water is 1 g/mL

$\text{specific gravity}=\dfrac{\text{density of substance}}{\text{density of water}}\\\\SG=\dfrac{m}{V\times \rho_w}\\\\m=SG\times V\times \rho_w\\\\m=1.252\times 350\ mL\times 1\ g/mL\\\\m=438.2\ \text{grams}$

We know that,

1 pound = 453.592 grams

So,

m = 0.97 lbs

So, the weight of the sphere is 0.97 lbs or 0.97 pounds.

How are energy storage molecules affected if there is LESS carbon dioxide?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

When there is less carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) in abiotic matter, less carbon is available for producers making energy storage molecules. When there is more sunlight, producers can make more energy storage molecules from the carbon in carbon dioxide.

Hope this helps.

Which of these accurately describes the reactants of a reaction?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Option (C) is the correct answer.

In the chemical reaction, reactants are the starting elements or compounds which will chemically react and will form the products. Reactants are only present on the left hand side of the reaction and products are present on the right hand side of the reaction.

Reactants present in the reaction is completely used up in the reaction to form products implies no traces of reactants will be present in the product side.

For example:

$2H_{2}+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}O$

Here, hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants whereas water is the product (new substance). Hydrogen reacts with oxygen and form water i.e. hydrogen and oxygen is completely used up in the reaction to form new substance i.e. water.

Hence, substances that are used up in a reaction is known as reactants of the reaction.

Aspirin was formed to reduce the irritation of salicylic acid. However, aspirin can still disturb the stomach. Which functional

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Carboxylic acid

Explanation:

Asprin is a drug that contains the carboxylic acid functional group (R-COOH), ester functional group (R-O-CO-R') and the aromatic group (benzene ring).

When we take in aspirin, it becomes salicylic acid. This metabolite irreversibly inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase. Hence the the production of protective prostaglandins is blocked causing inflammation and pain.
