Professor Whitney has a sample of lead and a sample of iron. The samples have equal mass. When Whitney heats the samples, the le

ad reaches a higher temperature than the iron, even though both samples absorbed the same amount of thermal energy. What can Whitney conclude from this experiment?
Iron is a better conductor of heat than lead.
Lead is a better conductor of heat than iron.
Lead has a higher heat capacity than iron.
Iron has a higher heat capacity than lead.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "Iron has a higher heat capacity than lead".

Heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat transferred required in order to raise the temperature of an object by 1°.

The higher the heat capacity the more the heat transfer is required to raise the temperature.

Iron has higher heat capacity as compared to the lead due to which it requires more heat transfer to raise the temperature of the iron as compared to the lead.

It is why the temperature of the lead increases more as compared to iron even though they absorbed the same amount of thermal energy.

Gastrulation, when the cells organize themselves into an embryo occurs 2 weeks after conception. What do the 3 layers of cells g
Travka [436]

Answer:

Gastrulation is the process where the developing embryo forms the process of the 3 germ layers. These germ layers are formed due to the movement of the single-layered blastula. Gastrulation starts during the third week of the human embryo.

The three germ layers give rise to different organs of the fetus. The 3 layers are ectoderm or outer layer, mesoderm or middle layer, and endoderm or inner layer.  

These 3 germ layers give rise to different organs of the human fetus. Ectoderm forms epidermis, skin, hair, olfactory organs, eye lense. glands like pituitary. Sensory nerves, skeleton, pigment cells are also formed from ectoderm.  

Ectoderm also forms a neural tube that further divides to form the brain, spinal cord.

Mesoderm form the vertebral column, skeletal muscle, excretory organs, reproductive organs. It also forms blood cells, blood vessels, body cavity or coelom.

The inner layer endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, bladder, etc.

How do cells maintain water balance through osmosis?
neonofarm [45]
Water then moves from cell to cell through the root cortex by osmosisalong a concentration gradient; this means that each cell is hypertonic to the one before it. In the centre of the root the water enters the xylem vessels. Water may move by diffusionthrough the cell walls and intercellular spaces.
