22. Explain how emission or absorption spectrum can be used to identify the composition of objects in space

Biology
1 answer:
densk [106]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Identifying elements in astronomical objects using their spectra. Measuring the spectrum of light from a star can tell astronomers what the star is made up of. Since each element emits or absorbs light only at a particular wavelength astronomers can identify what element are in the stars from the lines in their spectra.

What would happen to the size of the herbivore population if the producer population decreased?
erica [24]
The relationship of the herbivore and producer organism is directly proportional. This means,when there is a decline in the population of ther producer specie then herbivores will also decrease. This because herbivores are dependent on this type of food for its survivel so in sense, they wouldn't survive without this food source.

categorize the following characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria.
Ghella [55]

The categorization of the characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria are as follows:

  1. <u>Mitochondria:</u> carry out cellular respiration.
  2. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> carry out photosynthesis.
  3. <u>Mitochondria:</u> found in plant and animal cells.
  4. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> produce carbohydrates used as source of food for most living things.  
  5. <u>Mitochondria:</u> abundant in human muscle cells.
  6. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> not found in animal cells.
  7. <u>Chloroplasts:</u> contain chlorophyll.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell can be defined as the fundamental functional, structural and smallest unit of life, which is found within the body of an organism.

Some examples of cell organelles that are found in the body of an organism include the following:

  • Mitochondria.
  • Nucleus.
  • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
  • Vesicles.
  • Cytoplasm.
  • Cell membrane.
  • Chromosome.
  • Golgi apparatus (bodies).
  • Chloroplast

<h3>What is mitochondria?</h3>

Mitochondria can be defined as one of the cell organelles that is found in the body of a living organism.

Also, mitochondria is known as the powerhouse because it is saddled with responsibility of providing all the energy required in the cell, especially by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions.

Whats are the functions of the integumentary system ?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Absorption

Thousands of pores on the surface of the skin can absorb vitamins, acids, water and oxygen in order to provide moisture and nourishment to our skin.

Excretion

The skin is the body’s largest waste removal system. Toxins are released through the sweat glands and pores.

Secretion

The skin secretes sebum, a mixture of oils that keeps the skin soft and supple. The layer of sebum on the outermost layer of the skin is known as the acid mantle. When intact the acid mantle has a PH that ranges from 4.5-5.5. The acid mantle is acidic in nature to protect the skin from outside invasion.

Regulation

The skin regulates the body’s temperature by sweating; when water from sweat on the skin evaporates it gives off heat and cools the body.  The body’s temperature increases or by shivering or getting goosebumps when the body is cold. The contraction of muscles releases energy that warms the body.

Sensation

The skin contains millions of nerve endings that transport stimuli. These nerve endings allow humans to detect sensation such as heat, cold, pain and pressure.

When a population is fragmented into smaller subpopulations, it may __________. View Available Hint(s) Hint 1.opened hint Fragme
Alex

Answer:

become more isolated.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

Heredity refers to the transfer of traits (specific characteristics) from the parent of a living organism to her offspring through sexual reproduction or asexual production. Some examples of hereditary traits are dimples, tongue rolling, baldness, handedness, freckles, curly hair, color blindness, height, etc.

A population can be defined as the total number of living organisms living together in a particular place and sharing certain characteristics in common.

Generally, these populations may be divided into a fraction of the population (subpopulation) based on certain factors and reasons. When a population is fragmented into smaller subpopulations, it may become more isolated and experience very low genetic diversity i.e a drift in the genetic makeup of the total number of living organisms living together at a particular place (population).

Hence, fragmentation of a population into smaller subpopulations has an adverse effect because it would affect their health.
