How does a hydroelectric power plant convert energy? As water flows through the channels toward the turbines, it has kinetic ene

rgy. This is changed to mechanical energy as the water turns the turbines. Then the mechanical energy of the turbines is changed to electrical energy by the generator. As water flows through the channels toward the turbine, it has kinetic energy. This is changed to potential energy within the turbine. This potential energy is converted to electrical energy by the transformer. As water flows through the channels toward the generator, it has potential energy. This is changed to electric energy as the generator rotates. Some of the electric energy is used to change water's energy into kinetic energy. As water flows through the channels toward the transformer, it has potential energy. This is converted to electrical energy by the transformer, and then the energy is magnified by the generator.

What do you think might be the evolutionary benefit of the milk production regulation mechanism in breastfeeding?
pochemuha

Answer:

The potential mother would be wasting her body's energy and resources constantly producing milk without using it to feed her baby, requiring for her to attain more energy, where she could have just waited until she actually gets pregnant and then start producing milk for her baby once it is close to being or already born.

A student decided to investigate the relation of height to resting heart rate. The student determined the resting heart rate of
frez [133]
Air temperature: When temperatures (and the humidity) soar, the heart pumps a little more blood, so your pulse rate may increase, but usually no more than five to 10 beats a minute.<span>Body position: Resting, sitting or standing, your pulse is usually the same. Sometimes as you stand for the first 15 to 20 seconds, your pulse may go up a little bit, but after a couple of minutes it should settle down. Emotions: If you’re stressed, anxious or “extraordinarily happy or sad” your emotions can raise your pulse. </span><span>Body size: Body size usually doesn’t change pulse. If you’re very obese, you might see a higher resting pulse than normal, but usually not more than 100. </span><span>Medication use: Meds that block your adrenaline (beta blockers) tend to slow your pulse, while too much thyroid medication or too high of a dosage will raise it.

True or false: An allele is a version of a gene?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

I will give an example. Two plants cross breeds. A pink flower and a red flower. The red flower has a gene for red color and the pink has a gene for pink color. Mix the two together and you have an offspring with two different genes, or alleles, that are either going to be mixed or the plant will be one or the other color.

How is the atmospheric oxygen that is taken in by living things for resperation replaced?
wel

Answer: Oxygen from the atmosphere is combined with carbohydrates to liberate the stored energy. Water and carbon dioxide are byproducts. Notice that photosynthesis and respiration are essentially the opposite of one another. Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2.
