Answer:

B. Thicker layer of blubber

Explanation:

For the leopard seals to survives this harsh environment, it must have a thicker layer of blubber

Blubber is a thick layer of fat. It is called the adipose tissues and found in most marine organisms.

  • This layer helps in insulating the body against heat loss.
  • By so doing, the animal is able to conserve internal heat.
  • They have low thermal conductivity and do not easily lose heat or gain heat as such.

How much heat is absorbed when a 298.3 g piece of brass goes from 30.0 to 150
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Q = 1360.248 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of brass = 298.3 g

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 150°C

Specific heat capacity of brass = 0.038 J/g.°C

Heat absorbed = ?

SOLUTION:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 150°C - 30.0°C  

ΔT = 120°C

Q = 298.3 g × 0.038 J/g.°C × 120°C

Q = 1360.248 j

If a patient\'s blood pressure is 145 over 65 mmHg, what is it in atmospheres (atm)
kicyunya [14]

Converting mmHg to atm is solved by division.

Example: Convert 745.0 to atm.

Solution- divide the mmHg value by the 760.0 mmHg / atm.

745 mmHg over 760.0 mmHg/atm

atm value is 0.980263

Now, I am a medical student and we have never had to convert a BP (blood pressure) to atm from mmHg, only ever kPA. SO, I am going to take a guess here and say that when you do the work to solve this, you are going to convert the Systolic (upper #) which is the 145. You should get 0.190789 and then convert the Diastolic (lower #) which is 65. You should get 0.08552632.

So your fraction so to speak should read, 0.190789/0.08552632 or 0.190789 over 0.08552632

(Just to note that is way to low of a BP, although it is irrelevant) Best wishes and good luck. "Remember, never just look for the right answer, look for why it is the right answer!"

How are pure crystalline substances characterized?
hoa [83]
A pure crystalline substance is a substance with an almost perfect regular and periodic pattern in a solid state. This makes this type of substance a hard one compared to an amorphous substance which is soft because of the irregular pattern within.

What would happen if this cell were moved from pure water to a seawater solution?
Reika [66]
<span>The cell would swell and burst, because the 20% salt solution is hypotonic with respect to the cell, causing a net movement of water into the cell. Example, water moves from the blood filtrate that will form urine. The same will do while pure water moved to seawater.</span>
