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.

Drag and drop the molecules and numbers into the boxes to create a balanced chemical reaction.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

H₂ + Cl₂ ---> 2 HCl

Explanation:

It looks like the reactants are not allowed to have coefficients (not enough boxes), so you need to pick reactants and products that satisfy this condition. The only ones that appear to fit are:

H₂ + Cl₂ ---> 2 HCl

Describe the actual and relative sizes of a virus, a bacterium, and a plant or animal cell.
anzhelika [568]

Answer :

The animals are categorized into 2 groups - eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The microbes like bacteria are coming under prokaryotes. They are unicellular organisms and without a true nucleus.

Viruses are the connecting link between the living and non - living. They are smaller than bacteria. The microbes less than 100 micrometer can't be seen by the naked eye. They can only visible under a microscope.

Viruses like polio, flu virus sizes are 10nm. But some of the viruses are also less than 10nm. The size of bacteria is 1 micrometer. The viruses are 10 times smaller than the bacteria.

The eukaryotic organisms are more advanced and multicellular. Their cell size is larger than bacteria and viruses. The red blood cells under the light microscope are 8 micrometers. The typical animal cells like sperm are 60 micrometers and a skin cell is 30 micrometers. The plant cell for example pollen is 90 micrometers.

The eukaryotic cells sizes are more than prokaryotes like bacteria.

icang [17]

Answer:

BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes

Explanation:

The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are tumor suppressor genes that encode breast cancer susceptibility proteins involved in repairing double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) by the mechanism of homologous recombination. This mechanism uses the sister chromatid of the homologous chromosome as template for repairing DSBs. It has been shown that mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes alter the molecular mechanism of homologous recombination DNA repair, thereby mutations are not repaired appropriately and persist in the DNA of tumor cells.
