Answer:
0.153
Explanation:
We know the up-thrust on the fish, U = weight of water displaced = weight of fish + weight of air in air sacs.
So ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ'V"g where ρ = density of water = 1 g/cm³, V = volume of water displaced, g = acceleration due to gravity, ρ'= density of fish = 1.18 g/cm³, V' = initial volume of fish, ρ"= density of air = 0.0012 g/cm³ and V" = volume of expanded air sac.
ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"g
ρV = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"
Its new body volume = volume of water displaced, V = V' + V"
ρ(V' + V") = ρ'V' + ρ"V"
ρV' + ρV" = ρ'V' + ρ"V"
ρV' - ρ"V' = ρ'V" - ρV"
(ρ - ρ")V' = (ρ' - ρ)V"
V'/V" = (ρ - ρ")/(ρ' - ρ)
= (1 g/cm³ - 0.0012 g/cm³)/(1.18 g/cm³ - 1 g/cm³)
= (0.9988 g/cm³ ÷ 0.18 g/cm³)
V'/V" = 5.55
Since V = V' + V"
V' = V - V"
(V - V")/V" = 5.55
V/V" - V"/V" = 5.55
V/V" - 1 = 5.55
V/V" = 5.55 + 1
V/V" = 6.55
V"/V = 1/6.55
V"/V = 0.153
So, the fish must inflate its air sacs to 0.153 of its expanded body volume
<span>Thiobacillus denitrificans is a specialized species of bacteria that obtains its energy from carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds such as nitrogen in its environment. It is used in bioremediation of groundwater that contains excess nitrate. Thiobacillus denitrificans help bioremediate groundwater by denitrification.</span>
Radiometric dating method. Geologists commonly used radiometric age-dating to determine the numerical age of rock and fossils based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements, including potassium and carbon.
ANSWER:
After the volcanic eruption,lava cools down,vegetation reappears and microscopic plants grow,then the macroscopic plants and animals come at that place,then gradually the whole system builds and ecosystem recovers.
EXPLANATION:
Biodiversity means diverse population of plants and animals. After the volcanic eruption,both plants and animals donot exist because of high temperature and not suitable environment. With the passage of the time, the lava cools down and vegetation stars reappearing. First of all lichens and microscopic plants and after that macroscopic plants and animals come at that place.Thus suitable conditions reappear and gradually the whole ecosystem recovers.
