Answer:

B. The foam has tiny air pockets that slow the transfer of thermal

energy away from the water in the pipe

Explanation:

Air cannot conduct heat well and can be used as a good insulator. Poor heat conduction of the insulator. When it is cold outside, the temperature gradient will adapt to the environment. The temperature of the water in the pipe is relatively high. It loses heat to the environment. The foam layer prevents this form of heat exchange due to surrounding air pockets.

Answer:

B. The foam has tiny air pockets that slow the transfer of thermal

energy away from the water in the pipe

Explanation:

Air is a poor conductor thermal energy and can be used as good insulator. Insulators are poor conductors of heat.

When it is freezing outside, the temperature gradient will tend to adjust to the ambient one. The water in the pipe being at a higher temperature will tend to lose heat energy to the surrounding.

The layer of foam will prevent this form of heat exchange from happening because of the air pocket that is present around.

Compare and contrast ectothermy and endothermy, including their pros and cons.
spin [16.1K]

Endothermy is just another word for the term "warm-blooded" and ectothermy is closest to the meaning of "cold-blooded." The obvious pros of endothermy is the ability to perform more activities within a larger range of temperatures. For example, a human would be able to walk around in 100 degree weather Fahrenheit. They would probably be sweating a lot to maintain body temperature and would require lots of water, but they could do it. In contrast, a Lizard would most likely be forced to stay in the shade under a rock or another place as they have no system for maintaining their body temperature, and thus would have to wait until the environmental temperature cooled down before they could find food or move around. The cons of endothermy is it requires a lot more energy for an organism to maintain homeostasis, which is also a pro of ectothermy as lizards and similar ectothermic organisms can utilize more of their energy to d food or move around. Hope this helps!

Which type of environment likely has a lot of stomata
dalvyx [7]
Since stomata are affected by [CO2] and water vapor content of the air, an environment with high water vapor content (water potential) and high CO2 levels will likely have the highest #of stomata. I.e. when plants have readily available water source and ample CO2 in order to maximize photosynthesis. As far as geographic environment I think it varies quite a bit and there are competing hypotheses from what I understand
