Cells store energy in the form of what

1 answer:

3 0

Cells store energy either as carbohydrates or lipids (fats and oils).

Carbohydrates provide for fast, short term energy. They are a key part of cellular respiration.

Lipids provide for long term energy storage because storing lipids is much more effective than storing carbs. One gram of lipid can store twice as much as one gram of carbs. So to access this energy storage, cells must conduct hydrolysis (inserting a hydrogen and a hydroxide group to split off the energy).

Hope this helps!

A space vehicle accelerates uniformly from 85 m/s at t = 0 to 164 m/s at t = 10.0 s .How far did it move between t = 2.0 s and t

creativ13 [48]

First, we have a change in the velocity from 85 to 164 m/s in 10 sec.

Then, we calculate the acceleration as:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i} }{t} =\frac{164-85}{10}=7.9 m/s^2$

Hence we need to calculate the velocity of the space vehicle at t = 2 sec using the first equation of motion:

$v_{f}=v_{i}+at=85+7.9*2=100.8m/s$

Then, using the second equation of motion to calculate the distance:

$d=v_{i} t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$d=100.8*2+\frac{1}{2}*7.9*(2)^2=217.4m$

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter.

Ann [662]

Answer:

The diameter is 0.000056 m

Explanation:

Lets explain the relation between the meter and the micrometer

1 Meter is equal to 1000000 (one million) micrometers

1 micrometer = $\frac{1}{1000000}=\frac{1}{10^{6}}=10^{-6}$

The symbol of the meter is m

The symbol of micrometer is μm

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter

We need to express this diameter in meter

To do that we divide this number by 1,000,000 or multiply it by $10^{-6}$

→ $\frac{56}{1000000}=0.000056$ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

→ OR

→ $56*10^{-6}=0.000056$

→ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

The diameter is 0.000056 m

A very long straight current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field of 25 µT at a distance d from the wire. How far will the ma

daser333 [38]

The magnetic field strength of a very long current-carrying wire is proportional to the inverse of the distance from the wire. The farther you go from the wire, the weaker the magnetic field becomes.

B ∝ 1/d

B = magnetic field strength, d = distance from wire

Calculate the scaling factor for d required to change B from 25μT to 2.8μT:

2.8μT/25μT = 1/k

k = 8.9

You must go to a distance of 8.9d to observe a magnetic field strength of 2.8μT
