Explain the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Biology
1 answer:
sineoko [7]3 years ago
3 0

The law of conservation of energy is one of the basic laws of physics and therefore governs the microscopic motion of individual atoms in a chemical reaction. The law of conservation energy states:

In a closed system, i.e., a system that isolated from its surroundings, the total energy of the system is conserved.



In SI units, energy has units of Joules. 1 Joule = 1 kgms.



Some forms of energy:

<span>1.Kinetic energy - energy of motion.2.Potential energy - energy of ``location'' with respect to some reference point.3.Chemical energy - energy stored in chemical bonds, which can be released in reactions.4.Electrical energy - energy created by separating charges; energy stored in a battery, for example.5.<span>Thermal energy - energy given off as heat, such as friction.</span></span>

Which microscope did Anton van Leeuwenhoek use to observe single-celled organisms?
likoan [24]
<span>Anton van Leeuwenhoek learned to grind lenses ( 1668) and develop simple microscopes.

</span>

Leeuwenhoek heated the middle of a small soda glass rod , over a flame. On pulling apart the two ends, the glass rod elongated into thin whiskers . 
Heating the end of this whisker resulted in a tiny high quality glass sphere. These glass spheres then became the lens of his microscope, with the smallest sphere providing the greatest magnification.

Leeuwenhoek's designs were very basic. The body of the microscope was a single lens mounted in a tiny hole on a brass plate. The specimen was then mounted on a sharp point that sticks up in front of the lens. It's position and focus could be adjusted by turning the two screws.

The entire instrument was about 3 to 4 inches long and had to be held up close to the eye, requiring good lighting and great patience to use.

Prescribe how mountains change in abiotic conditions with an increase in elevations
olga55 [171]
The first famous natural scientist to determine how plants change with altitude on tall mountains was Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland when climbing some very high volcanoes in South America like Chimborazo at well ove 20,000 feet high and they observed that different plants grow at different altitudes as altitude increases so that as the mountain was ascended the new environments of temperature, moisture,etc would become abiotic for the lower plants but acceptable for the higher elevation plants. In these cases in South America, the lower elevations had very warm temperatures and high humidity so would grow tropical plants with probably large leaves like palm trees etc. On the other hand at high elevations the temperature would be significantly decreased and probably humidity decreased too so only rugged plants like say lichens could grow. At intermediate elevations, most likely say pine trees could grow as I know they do at moderate elevations in Honduras for example.

based on the flow of energy and biomass in ecosystem, determine the rough proportion of producers and consumers needed in the ec
Mila [183]
The number of producers is more than consumers and top carnivores in ecosystem. for example:- in the food chain of grass--goat--man,atleast 90% of energy is pasted to other level and 10% will be stored at that level it self. 
        grass                 goat                   man
       50/100               40/80                30/60.
as we human beings depend on plants and animals for our food for our whole life we need atleast 100 numbers of small plants for one week.

Two people are exercising at a gym. Person X notices a burning sensation in several muscles, while person Y does not feel any di
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Person X is feeling a burning sensation in several muscles<u> because of the accumulation of lactic acid due to inadequate oxygen in their system.</u> When oxygen becomes inadequate during exercises, anaerobic respiration takes place to augment the oxygen shortage and this leads to the production of lactic acid which accumulates up in the muscles and gives a burning sensation.

  C_6H_1_2O_6 --> 2C_3H_6O_3

Person Y does not feel any burning sensation in their muscles <u>because oxygen is adequate in their system and they do not need to respire anaerobically.</u> <em>Person X exercise regime must have been more rigorous than that of person Y.</em>
