What are Air Masses:  They large volumes of air that have generally the same temperature and pressure.

How they work: One is heated by an electrical current, the other is not. As air flows across the heated wire, it cools down.

Example of an Air Mass: The air masses in and around North America include the continental arctic, maritime polar, maritime tropical, continental tropical, and continental polar air masses. Air is not the same everywhere.

Fact: Unstable air masses have different temperatures and pressures.

How they are formed: An air mass forms whenever the atmosphere remains in contact with a large, relatively uniform land or sea surface for a time sufficiently long to acquire the temperature and moisture properties of that surface.

*** <em>The Earth's major air masses originate in polar or subtropical latitudes.</em>

List two ways that a fuel cell differs from an ordinary battery
Alecsey [184]

The simple answer is that in a battery the chemical reactions that produce the electrical current are produced from materials that are already in the battery itself, whereas in a fuel cell, the reactants, almost always Hydrogen and Oxygen are fed to the cell like an external fuel.

. However, while a battery makes electricity from the energy it has stored inside the battery, a fuel cell makes its electricity from fuel in an external fuel tank This means that while a battery may run dead, a fuel cell will make electricity as long as fuel is supplied. For hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen is the fuel and it's stored in a tank connected to the fuel cell. When hydrogen in the tank runs low, you refill it, or replace it with a full tank.

What is the best conclusion? The rate of cellular respiration in germinating peas is exactly one thousand times the rate of ATP
Nady [450]

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

During germination, peas sprout and grow. The data table shows the carbon dioxide produced during the germination period of peas under different conditions. Condition Rate of carbon dioxide produced (mL/min) Germinating peas, 10ºC 0.01 Germinating peas, 20ºC 0.02 What is the best conclusion? The rate of cellular respiration in germinating peas is exactly one thousand times the rate of ATP production. Germinating peas at 10ºC create carbon dioxide at a rate of 0.01 mL/min during ATP production. Germinating peas at 20ºC have a higher rate of cellular respiration than germinating peas at 10ºC. The rate of cellular respiration cannot be measured without knowing the rate of ATP production.

Answer:

The correct statement is that at 20 degree C, the germinating peas exhibits a higher rate of cellular respiration in comparison to the germinating peas at 10 degree C.

Explanation:

The process of respiration results in the production of carbon dioxide, respiration refers to a chemical reaction that generates water, carbon dioxide, and energy by undergoing oxidation of the glucose molecules. This phenomenon plays an essential role in the life of the organisms for obtaining energy from the food they consume to perform daily activities.  

From the question, it is evident that the peas, which were germinating at 20 degrees C exhibit a higher rate of cellular respiration as they are generating 0.02 milliliters of carbon dioxide in a minute, while on the other hand, the germinating peas at 10 degrees C are giving rise to 0.01 milliliters of carbon dioxide in a minute.
