Radiation from the head is a major source of heat loss from the human body. Model a head as a 21-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tall cylinde

r with a flat top.
If the body's surface temperature is 36?C , what is the net rate of heat loss on a chilly 9?C day? All skin, regardless of color, is effectively black in the infrared where the radiation occurs, so use an emissivity of 0.95.

I have worked it through three times with other written solutions however i cannot arrive at the correct answer. A final answer as well as a solution would be appreciated! Thanks!

We have the following assumptions:
The temperature of the surroundings remains constant.
The entire surface area of head emits radiation.

From the problem, we have the given values:
emissivity = 0.95
T2 = 36 degrees C
T1 = 9 degrees C

Solving for the area:
A = πD² + πDh = π(21)² + π(21)(20) = 2709.91 cm² = 0.2710 m²

Using the heat transfer equation for radiation:
q = εAσ(T₂⁴ - T₁⁴)
q = 0.95 (0.2710)(5.67 x 10<span>-8)[(36+273)</span>⁴-(9+273)⁴]
q = 3.9 x 10^9 W

what will be the result of photosystem II being exposed to less sunlight more glucose molecules will be produced
melisa1 [442]

Fewer hydrogen ions will be pumped into the Thylakoid when photosystem II being exposed to less sunlight more glucose molecules will be produced.

Photosystem II is the first membrane protein complex in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms in nature. It produces atmospheric oxygen to catalyze the photo-oxidation of water by using light energy. It oxidizes two molecules of water into one molecule of molecular oxygen.

Photosystem II the energy derived from absorption of photons is used to split water molecules to molecular oxygen and protons. The most important function of photosystem II (PSII) is its action as a water-plastoquinone oxido-reductase. At the expense of light energy, water is split, and oxygen and plastoquinol are formed.

natita [175]
False, because if the second population depends on the first as a food source then if the first decimates then the second will also start to decimate
