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 −3.0 nC charge is on the x-axis at x=−9 cm and a +4.0 nC charge is on the x-axis at x=16 cm. At what point or points on the y-

alexdok [17]

Answer:

y = 10.2 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, $q_1=-3\ nC$

It is placed at a distance of 9 cm at x axis

Charge, $q_2=+4\ nC$

It is placed at a distance of 16 cm at x axis

We need to find the point on the y-axis where the electric potential zero. The net potential on y-axis is equal to 0. So,

$\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}+\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}=0$

Here,

$r_1=\sqrt{y^2+9^2} \\\\r_2=\sqrt{y^2+15^2}$

So,

$\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{q_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{q_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{-3\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+81} }=-\dfrac{4\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+225} }\\\\3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}$

Squaring both sides,

$3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}\\\\9(y^2+225)=16\times (y^2+81)\\\\9y^2+2025=16y^2-+1296\\\\2025-1296=7y^2\\\\7y^2=729\\\\y=10.2\ m$

So, at a distance of 10.2 m on the y axis the electric potential equals 0.

How does this diagram demonstrate the law of superposition?

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

well, as u can tell the top layer will always be the youngest layer aka the newest layer. The farther u go down the older the layers get. So the deeper u dig the farther back in time we see.

The diagram shows the movement of air as a result of convection currents. At which point is the air at its highest density?

stellarik [79]

When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object. Heat is energy on the move.

Units of heat are units of energy. The SI unit of energy is Joule. Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

Explain the change of frequency of the wave if the tension of the string is increased

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Increasing the tension on a string increases the speed of a wave, which increases the frequency (for a given length). Pressing the finger at different places changes the length of string, which changes the wavelength of standing wave, affecting the frequency.
