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>

An elderly person has a stroke that leaves her unable to talk and part of her body paralyzed. which part of the body is most lik

Lostsunrise [7]

Left brain of the body is most likely to be paralyzed

If the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following: Paralysis on the right side of the body. Speech/language problems.

<h3>What is a Stroke ?</h3>

A stroke is when a portion of the brain loses blood supply. It occurs when a blood clot narrows an artery in the brain or when pressure builds up there due to a blood vessel in the head bleeding. Both scenarios result in the death of brain cells and either temporary or permanent brain damage.

A blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a blood vessel leak or burst are the two basic causes of stroke (hemorrhagic stroke). Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), which are brief interruptions in blood supply to the brain that don't persist long, can occur in some persons.

List 4 concepts you learned in this unit about waves and explain how each one applies to your life (4 points)

algol [13]

Answer:

amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed.

Explanation: Sound is a type of wave that moves through matter and then vibrates our eardrums so we can hear. Light is a special kind of wave that is made up of photons. You can drop a rock into a pond and see waves form in the water. We even use waves (microwaves) to cook our food really fast. Water waves are the focus of our Tsunamis and surf resources, but many other kinds of wave exist. These include sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves and others. All kinds of waves have the same fundamental properties of reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference, and all waves have a wavelength, frequency, speed and amplitude.

What are the functions of carbohydrates, lipids, protein, and Nucleic Acids?

Alik [6]

Answer:

Carbs - provide your body with energy.

Lipids - serve as structural components of cell membrane, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signaling molecules.

Protein - helps with growth and maintenance of tissues, enzymes that cause biochemical reactions in and out of your cells, some proteins are hormones so it acts as a messenger the aid communication between your cells, tissues, and organs. And many other thing that are a google search away.

Nucleic Acids - hold storage and expression of genetic information
