Julli [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  • <u>Conventional plastics-</u>

"Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances."

  • <u>Composition</u>-

"Oil-based polymers is currently used in packaging applications. These are virtually all non-biodegradable, and some are difficult to recycle or reuse due to being complex composites having varying levels of contamination.

  • <u>Biodegradable plastics</u>-

"They are largely manufactured from renewable natural resources, to produce biodegradable materials with similar functionality to that of oil-based polymers."

Explanation:

<u>Complex Issue-</u>

  • Diversity of biodegradable materials and their varying properties makes it difficult to make simple, generic assessments such as biodegradable products are all ‘good’ or petrochemical-based products are all ‘bad’.
  • Biodegradable packaging materials are most suitable for single-use disposable applications where the post-consumer waste can be locally composted.

VMariaS [17]
H S G Low temperature and High temperature.
When H is negative and S positive and G negative there will be spontaneous low temperature and spontaneous high temperature. When H is negative, and S is negative and temperature dependent then the low temperature will be spontaneous and high temperature will be non-spontaneous. When H is positive and S is positive then the temperature dependent and low temperature are non-spontaneous and high temperature will be spontaneous. When H will be positive and S is negative then G will be positive, the low temperature will be non-spontaneous and high temperature will also be non-spontaneous.

If you imagine life as a game,imagine as a free roaming game where there is no “winning” there is just living it up to the fullest. I know how it feels when someone makes u feel that way. What u gotta do is think from their viewpoint. If you feel u are right then I suggest u not do anything rash and just move on with life. Sometimes the person u think as a friend doesn’t feel that way about u. What do u have to do? Move on. Try to talk to some person u kno and trust about this. This relieves the pain a bit.try to do one thing at a time don’t think what u are going to do next. Think what u are going to do NOW. True friends are hard to come by so don’t think the one u have been thinking of one actually is a true friend.one way to relieve the pain is to try not to think about it. Do something you like. Play a game or watch cute kitten videos from the internet. Humans are monsters to anything we eat we are monsters but it is what you choose to do that makes you different. Never accept defeat just when u think everything is going to end it can get better. I hope what I said makes you feel better I am writing this in my viewpoint

What is the relationship (embryological, functional) between your lungs and the "gas bladder" of a perch?
DanielleElmas [232]

"Gas bladders" and lungs are similar organs, although they serve different functions.

Both of them develop from a location in the upper throat i.e. the pharynx and are used to manipulate gases. They both contain a good blood supply.

However, the lung is used for breathing and is often found in land vertebrates, while on the other hand, the gas or swim bladder is used in the regulation of buoyancy and the latter is found in all other bony fishes e.g. perch.

Perch use the swim bladder to control their buoyancy by filling it with oxygen from their gills using a gland, which is known as a gas gland. This expands the bladder, thereby pushing the fish toward the surface of the water.
