Old thermometers contained very small amounts of mercury. The mercury in the photo has a melting point of -38°C. What can u conc

Answer:

The thermometer can not be used to measure very low temperature

Explanation:

Mercury-in-glass thermometer is one of the types of liquid-in-glass thermometers.

Given the very melting point of mercury, it is unsuitable to attempt to use this thermometer for very low temperature measurement.

Hence, from the melting point of mercury, this thermometer can not be used to measure very low temperature.

Describe the structure of a neuron. Include the cell body, dendrites, and axon in your description. How does the structure of a
igomit [66]

Answer: A neuron has three main parts: dendrites, an axon, and a cell body or soma , which can be represented as the branches, roots and trunk of a tree, respectively. A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells. Dendrites branch as they move towards their tips, just like tree branches do, and they even have leaf-like structures on them called spines.

The axon (tree roots) is the output structure of the neuron; when a neuron wants to talk to another neuron, it sends an electrical message called an action potential throughout the entire axon.

The features of neurons help them to carry out their function efficiently:

they have a long fibre (axon) so they can carry messages up and down the body over long distances

in a stimulated neuron, an electrical nerve impulse passes along the axon

the axon is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath - the fatty sheath increases the speed of the nerve impulses along the neuron

at each end of the neuron are tiny branches (dendrons), which branch even further into dendrites - the dendrites receive incoming nerve impulses from other neurons

Explanation:

Hope this is helpful!!

When are lipids (fat molecules) broken down into smaller molecules by your body?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: <u>Lipids can also be broken down into their components(hydrolysis). Reason 1, When you eat fats, they are broken down by your digestive system and turned into products that can be used for other functions. Reason 2, When the body has run out of quick energy, and needs to tap into stored energy.</u>

What would be the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope that has an objective power of 10x and an
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. They almost always consist of 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x powers. When coupled with a 10x (most common) eyepiece lens, we get total magnification of 40x (4x times 10x), 100x, 400x, and 1000x. To have good resolution at 1000x, you will need a relatively sophisticated microscope with an Abbe condenser. The shortest lens is the lowest power, the longest one is the lens with the greatest power. Lenses are color coded and if built to DIN standards are interchangeable between microscopes. The high power objective lenses are retractable (ie 40xr). This means that if they hit a slide, the end of the lens will push in (spring loaded) thereby protecting the lens and the slide. All quality microscopes have achromatic, parcentered, parfocal lenses.

I don't know for sure if this is correct but hopefully it is( ꈍᴗꈍ)

What is the justification of the progressive taxation method?
statuscvo [17]
The justification of the taxation method would be that there is no justification since not everyone is equal so people who have high income should pay more taxes to cover up of the less privilege ones yet it does not mean the one earning more consume more of the resources.
