7 0

Answer:

7.112× 10⁸.

Explanation:

The length of DNA is 2.5 nm = 2.5 × 10⁻⁹m.

The average human length = 5 ft 10 in = 70 inch.

1 inch = 0.0254  m.

70 inch = 70 × 0.0254 = 1.778  m.

Number of DNA molecules = length of man / length of DNA.

Number of DNA molecules = 1.778  m / 2.5 × 10⁻⁹m.

Number of DNA molecules = 7.112× 10⁸.

Thus, the answer is 7.112× 10⁸.

Dani wants to measure the volume of a pebble. Which tool will give the most accurate measurement
ra1l [238]

The answer is graduated cylinder.

Dani requires a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of the pebbles. A graduated cylinder is actually laboratory equipment to measure the volume of a liquid. Dani must place a specific amount of liquid in the cylinder and record the amount. Dani will then put the pebbles inside the cylinder and subtract the amount of liquid previously recorded to the current amount to get the volume of the pebbles.

1.what is carbon cycle?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The carbon cycle describes the process in which carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Since our planet and its atmosphere form a closed environment, the amount of carbon in this system does not change .

Excess carbon in the atmosphere warms the planet and helps plants on land grow more. Excess carbon in the ocean makes the water more acidic, putting marine life in danger. Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere naturally when organisms respire or decompose (decay), carbonate rocks are weathered, forest fires occur, and volcanoes erupt.

The bulk of carbon dioxide is carried chemically combined with the amino acids of hemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin in the rbcs.
natali 33 [55]
<span>The answer would be: as the bicarbonate ion in the plasma after first entering the red blood cells

Carbon dioxide will be changed into bicarbonate ion that released into the plasma. That is why the level of carbon dioxide will influence the pH of the blood. The process will produce hydrogen ion so higher carbon dioxide will result in acidosis. It is important to keep the carbon dioxide level at a certain point to prevent blood pH stable</span>
