The moon does not create its own light, but the sun reflects light of the moon so depending on where the sun sits (which it is always moving) causes the different phases or appearances to the moons shape

The half of the moon that points toward the Sun looks bright because it is lit by sunlight. The moon appears to change shape because we see different amounts of the lit part as the moon orbits Earth. When the moon is between Earth and the Sun, the lit side is hidden from you.

During a choking episode, most foreign objects are more likely to become lodged in the ________ bronchus due to its larger diame
yKpoI14uk [10]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>right primary
right secondary
left secondary
left primary
</span>
The correct answer is "right primary" or the right main bronchus. Anatomically, the right main bronchus has a larger diameter and a steeper angle (to compensate for the location of the liver). When a foreign body is accidentally aspirated, most commonly, it will lodge on the right main bronchus; especially in children.

Estimate the number of cells that belong to each phase of the cell cycle
svlad2 [7]

There are two ways to do this.  You could actually learn the phases and count each one.  Since you're posting here, it's a safe bet you have no intention of actually learning the material.  The second is to estimate based on the total number of cells.  At any given time, you will have approximately the following percentages for each phase of the cell cycle:

Interphase - 96%

Prophase - 2.5%

Metaphase - .5%

Anaphase - .5%

Telophase - .5%

In the picture, there are about 120 cells.  Now you have to do a little 5th grade math to calculate the approximate mumbers of each phase.  So, for Interphase, we multiply 120 x .96 = 115.  For Prophase we multiply 120 x .025 = 3.  For Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, we multiply 120 x .005 = .6, which rounds up to 1 each.  Now, as I specified, these numbers are approximate.  Looking at the picture, I count three that are in Metaphase, two that are in Anaphase, and at least three in Telophase. And there are more than three in Prophase.  The best way to figure this out is to print the picture and, using a guide from the internet, count the cells in each phase, marking them off as you count them so that you don't recount them.  Good Luck!

Many fast- acting medications are sold as powders, sometimes inside soluble capsules. Why would these medications act faster tha
Serjik [45]

Answer: the increased surface area aids in the better absorption of drugs.

Explanation: According to Noyes- Whitney equation, increased absorption of drugs depends on the rate of dissolution which is modified by altering the surface area. Reduction of the drug size from solid to powder form increases the specific surface area and the dissolution rate. This unique quantity makes it a fast acting medication since it's absorbed faster.
