Answer:
Gas makes things buoyant by making the volume of an object lighter than the surrounding fluid it is trying to displace.
Gas Buoyancy is useful in the following ways;
• Airships
• Steel ships and
• All floating and flying vessels
Explanation:
Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float in a fluid such as air or water. It is a phenomenon that was theorized by the mathematician, Archimedes known as the Archimedes Principle.
It states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.
The principle explains the reason why objects float and fly.
So, when an object is immersed in a fluid, it can float due to the upward force exerted by the fluid on the object. But for this to happen, the object has to weigh less than the fluid it is displacing.
This is where the use of a gas comes into play.
Because the object may be heavier than the surrounding fluid it is trying to displace, it is filled with a large amount of gas (usually hydrogen and/or helium) which is lighter. This makes the volume of the gas and the object put together lighter than that of the surrounding air.
This is what causes objects to float or fly
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Involuntary functions of the body system; processes taking place in the body that is done without conscious efforts such as digestion, bloodflow, the heartbeat are controlled by the autonomic nervous system which is a part of the peripheral nervous system.
Answer:
E. Malaria
Explanation:
Schizogony refers to the process of asexual reproduction through the process of multiple fission. The malaria parasite, <em>Plasmodium</em> species, enters the human body through the bite of female anopheles mosquitoes.
These mosquitoes carry haploid sporozoites in their saliva which are released into the bloodstream of human. The haploid sporozoites enter the liver cells where they multiply and increase their number through the process of multiple fission.
The process of schizogony in sporozoites of malaria parasite produces merozoites which are then released from the liver cells.
1. Answer: A
Explanation: For a cell to form proteins, the specific types of proteins are coded for by the genes in DNA (found in the chromosomes of the nucleus). To produce proteins, the genes are first transcribed by RNA polymerase to form messenger-RNA. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell.
2. Answer: B
Explanation: Translation of genes into proteins is dependent on the sequence of nucleotides. They are translated in sequences of 3 nucleotides known as codons. Therefore adding a nucleotide on a piece of DNA causes what is referred to as a frame-shift mutation. The 3 sequences (of codons) is interrupted and shifted by one nucleotide. Therefore, the codons change and the amino acids translated will also change.
3. Answer: A
Expanation: Producers are significant in a food chain because they incorporate the energy of the sun into the food chain. This is why they are at the base of the food chain and have the largest biomass. They are consumed by primary consumers which are consumed by secondary consumers which are consumed by tertiary consumers and so on.
4. Answer: D
Explanation: Plants are consumed by herbivores. Therefore, a decrease in plant population due to drought was resulted to decrease in herbivore population. This is due to stiff competition by the herbivores for the scarce plant population. Carnivores consume herbivores. Due to a decrease in the herbivore population, then the carnivore population would also decrease.
5. Answer: A
Explanation: Burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas traps infrared wavelength of lights hence warming up the atmosphere, causing global warming. Reduction in use of fossil fuels will hence alleviate an increase in global temperature hence protect coral in the oceans from bleaching.
B, because as energy is move up form the phyramid, energy is lost.
