Which statement explains what happens to air temperature as elevation increases and why? As elevation increases, air pressure in

creases, molecules spread out, and air temperature cools. As elevation increases, air pressure increases, molecules compress, and air temperature rises. As elevation increases, air pressure decreases, molecules spread out, and air temperature cools. As elevation increases, air pressure decreases, molecules compress, and air temperature rises.

Answer:

Option C, As elevation increases, air pressure decreases, molecules spread out, and air temperature cools.

Explanation:

As we move towards the sky the number of air particles reduces and hence its density also reduces. Due to lesser number of particles the pressure exerted by air also reduces at high elevations.

As per the gas law

PV = nRT

Where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of mole, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.  

Gas law states that if volume is constant, the relation between temperature and pressure is proportional.  

Thus, if pressure is reducing the temperature will also reduce.  

Hence, option C is correct

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

In the atmosphere, the general trend is that with the increasing height, the temperature decreases. It is because the concentration of air molecules decreases with the increasing height. Due to the lesser concentration of air molecules, they are scattered randomly, spreading out in all the direction, resulting in the lowering of temperature. This is why the temperature and pressure in the air decrease, with the increasing height.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Statement A - cellular membrane

Statement B - eukaryote

Statement C - spore

Statement D - prokaryote

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a protective layer present around the cell and cell organelle that regulates and allows different molecules to enter and exit to regulate homeostasis.

Eukaryotes are the organism that can be unicellular or multicellular with the cells contain a nucleus in it.

Spores are reproductive cells that has a resistant layer that protects the cell from an unfavorable condition and capable to form an adult.

An organism that is unicellular and lacks the nucleus is known as a prokaryote and bacteria is an example of such organisms.

Write the amount of urine filtrate produced by kidney per minute?☺
torisob [31]

In the nephron, approximately 20 percent of the blood gets filtered under pressure through the walls of the glomerular capillaries and Bowman's capsule. The filtrate is composed of water, ions (sodium, potassium, chloride), glucose and small proteins (less than 30,000 daltons -- a dalton is a unit of molecular weight). The rate of filtration is approximately 125 ml/min or 45 gallons (180 liters) each day. Considering that you have 7 to 8 liters of blood in your body, this means that your entire blood volume gets filtered approximately 20 to 25 times each day! Also, the amount of any substance that gets filtered is the product of the concentration of that substance in the blood and the rate of filtration. So the higher the concentration, the greater the amount filtered or the greater the filtration rate, the more substance gets filtered.

This filtration process is much like the making of espresso or cappuccino. In a cappuccino machine, water is forced under pressure through a fine sieve containing ground coffee; the filtrate is the brewed coffee. The arrangement of the glomerular capillaries in series with the peritubular capillaries is important to maintain a constant pressure in the glomerular capillaries, and thus a constant rate of filtration, despite momentary fluctuations in blood pressure. Once the filtrate has entered the Bowman's capsule, it flows through the lumen of the nephron into the proximal tubule.

Answer: I’m not sure what you’ve learned but for me it’s that you shouldnt leave the lights on when you don’t need them, you should switch off the TV when you aren’t using it, if you see a piece of trash pick it up and throw it in a trash can, and recycle
