Why are plastics hazardous to wildlife?

Biology
1 answer:
topjm [15]3 years ago
5 0
In marine environment, many animals confuse the plastic littering the oceans for food including sea turtles. Once in these animal bodies the plastic accumulates, and the chemicals can cause excess estrogen to be produced, which has led to discoveries of male fish with female sex organs. For sea turtles, the plastic blocks their digestive tract and the food that is trapped releases gases that render them buoyant, and unable to dive for food. The turtle was slowly starving because a single use plastic bag, which she had eaten, was blocking her digestive tract.

The plastic contains destructible and harmful agents that is not good for human and animals health.

What is the mass of all the worker bees in the hive together? Write your answer in scientific notation.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

4 × 10^0 kg or 4×E0 kg.

Explanation:

Before delving into or solving the Calculation, let us check one or two things about worker bees.

WHAT IS A WORKER BEE?.

Bees generally are social insects living in an organized community and they consist of three castes which include; the drone bees, worker bees, and the queen bees.

The queen bees are the female bees while the drone bees are the male bees.

The WORKER BEES are female bees too, but the only difference between them and the queen bees is that they (worker bees) do not reproduce like the queen bees. They are saddled with the responsibility of looking for food and maintaining the hive temperature.

Now to the question, the mass of a bee= 1 × 10^-4 kg. And there are 4 × 10^4 bees in hive. Therefore, the mass of all the worker bees in the hive together = (1 × 10^-4) × (4×10^4).

==> 4 × 10^0 kg, or 4E0 kg.

Which statement correctly describes one way that the properties of water affect heat and temperature? Water retains more heat th
Sphinxa [80]
I believe the correct statement is that Water absorbs heat when it changes to vapor, helping to keep animals cool through perspiration. Water has a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy needed to change one gram of a liquid substance to gas at constant temperature. In humans and other organisms, the evaporation of sweat, which is 90% water, cools the body to maintain a steady temperature.
