Why is density a derived unit?

Biology

Triss [41]4 years ago

Density is a derived unit because it's not reported as a pure unit. (A pure unit would be something like kilograms or meters.) In contrast, the units for density are kg/m3. Density is the ratio of mass to volume; mass has the unit 'kilograms' (kg) and the unit for volume is cubic meters (m3).

Density is an intensive property, which means the amount of the material is irrelevant. The density of a substance is constant.

if one of the 7 exponents has value 1 and all others exponents are 0, then the unit being expressed is a base unit; otherwise it is a derived unit. Thus, for density we have: ... Density is mass divided by volume. Volume is already derived from length (measured in cubic meters - meter*meter*meter).

What would happen if u place a cell in a container of water with high solute concentration?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Large quantities of water molecules constantly move across cell membranes by simple diffusion, often facilitated by movement through membrane proteins, including aquaporins. In general, net movement of water into or out of cells is negligible. For example, it has been estimated that an amount of water equivalent to roughly 100 times the volume of the cell diffuses across the red blood cell membrane every second; the cell doesn't lose or gain water because equal amounts go in and out. There are, however, many cases in which net flow of water occurs across cell membranes and sheets of cells. An example of great importance to you is the secretion of and absorption of water in your small intestine. In such situations, water still moves across membranes by simple diffusion, but the process is important enough to warrant a distinct name - osmosis.

The smallest contractile unit within skeletal muscle would correspond to the distance between which two points in the figure?
Tpy6a [65]

The distance between 1 and 7 spans a sarcomere correspond the structure at B is covered by the perimysium.

<h3>What is the smallest contractile unit within skeletal muscle?</h3>

A sarcomere comprises the segment between two consecutive Z lines and is the contractile unit of the muscle fiber, as it is the smallest portion of the muscle fiber capable of contraction and distension.

In this case, the distance between points 1 and 7 has the smallest structure of a skeletal muscle and corresponds to figure B.
