Answer:

The Greeks attributed magnitude 1 to the brightest star seen in the night sky.

Explanation:

The Greeks created a system of magnitude based on the brightness of stars in the northern sky. It is not known for sure which astronomer was responsible for this, although many believe Hipparchus or Alexander Ptolemy is the creator.

These magnitude systems related the star's apparent brightness to its actual size. That way the brighter the star appeared in the night sky, the bigger its real size would be. For the brightest stars, magnitude 1 was associated.

A person is told to take 1.25 mg of vitamin d daily. how many 0.125-mg tablets should this person take?
vovikov84 [41]
This is a simple calculation involving drug doses.

The solution is as follows:

(0.125 mg/tablet)(n) = 1.25 mg
n = (1.25 mg)/(0.125 mg/tablet)
n = 10 tablets

So a person needs to take ten 0.125 mg tablets of vitamin D to have that 1.25 mg dose.

This acid also help them to better adapt to the environment as many thermophiles likes acidic environment.

Thermophiles body has saturated and straight chain fatty acid that helps prevent denaturation which enables them grow and thrive in harsh weather condition by providing the fluidity that is needed in membrane function.
