Which force primarily acts on a natural or artificial satellite to keep it in orbit around a planet

Biology
1 answer:
rjkz [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

When its altitude is matched by the pull of the Earth's gravity, a satellite circles Earth. The satellite will fly off into orbit in a straight line or crash down to Earth without this equilibrium.

By juggling two things, a satellite retains its orbit: its velocity (the speed it takes to travel along a straight line) and the gravitational force on it that the Planet provides. To resist the greater gravitational force, a spacecraft orbiting closer to the Earth needs more velocity.

Select which of the following is not an accurate portrayal of mutations.

D. Mutations will always impact an individual on some level

Most of these seem accurate or at least close to being accurate on how mutations affect genes however, some mutations won’t always impact an individual because some mutations are so minor. But this is my best guess

How do organisms acquire energy directly or indirectly from sunlight?
solong [7]
I’ll answer this in 2 parts. For the “directly” part, plants need energy from sunlight to grow. Even we benefit from the sun because it gives us Vitamin D. Now for the “indirectly” part, herbavoirs get their energy from the sun because they eat plants that have energy which came from the sun which also goes back to the herbavoirs.

What are some of the characteristics of molds​
kumpel [21]


Moulds, those dusty little spots often found spreading over bread, cheese, books, and other things in the home, cause the loss of millions of dollars to our economy every year and, even worse, may be a menace to your health. To deal with them successfully we must understand what moulds are and exactly what they are doing.

Moulds are microscopic, plant-like organisms, composed of long filaments called hyphae. Mould hyphae grow over the surface and inside nearly all substances of plant or animal origin. Because of their filamentous construction and consistent lack of chlorophyll they are considered by most biologists to be separate from the plant kingdom and members of the kingdom of fungi. They are related to the familiar mushrooms and toadstools,differing only in not having their filaments united into large fruiting structures. For our purposes here, we shall consider as moulds only fungi that are commonly encountered n the home and laboratory and that can be easily grown and studied.

When mould hyphae are numerous enough to be seen by the naked eye they form a cottony mass called a mycelium. It is the hyphae and resulting mycelia that invade things in our homes and cause them to decay.

Reproduction in fungi is complex and involves a great diversity of structures. At the most fundamental level we can say that most moulds reproduce by spores. Spores are like seeds; they germinate to produce a new mould colony when they land in a suitable place. Unlike seeds, they are very simple in structure and never contain an embryo or any sort of preformed offspring. Spores are produced in a variety of ways and occur in a bewildering array of shapes and sizes. In spite of this diversity, spores are quite constant in shape, size, colour and form for any given mould, and are thus very useful for mould identification.

The most basic difference between spores lies in their method of initiation, which can be either sexual or asexual. Sexually initiated spores result from a mating between two different organisms or hyphae, whereas asexual spores result from a simple internal division or external modification of an individual hypha. the recognition of a mating and subsequent spore formation is often difficult for an observer,and is usually reserved for patient specialists. However, for practical purposes one can learn to recognize certain indications of the sexual process, namely, the four kinds of sexually determined spores that appear in mould fungi: (1) oospores, (2) zygospores, (3) ascospores, and (4) basidiospores.
