Contrast potential and kinetic energy. Give an example of potential being changed to kinetic energy.

Biology
1 answer:
loris [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

First, the raised hammer has more potential energy since it has the potential to go higher or lower. Second, when you hit the hammer on the table, the stored potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the hammer is falling. (It's the falling hammer that has kinetic energy)

Explanation:

Another example-When rolling a ball down a ramp the ball at its highest point has potential energy but when it rolls down the ramp it converts to kinetic energy

Hope this helps :)

the illustration shows a scale model of a pond in a local park the scale is 1:21 the model shows the pond is 3 cm deep. How deep
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Option D, 63 cm

Explanation:

The scale of model is of local park  is 1:21

This means that each dimension of the model is 21 times smaller than the actual park (to be developed in future)

Given -

Depth of the pond = 3 centi meter

Depth of the real pond will be 21 times of the depth of the model.

Thus , real pond's depth is equal to

= 3 * 21\\= 63 cm

Hence, option D is correct

Passive movement of water and solutes from the plasma to the capsular space of kidney corpuscles is a process known as _________
wel

The answer is ultrafiltration. This is helped by the hydrostatic pressure and blood pressure in afferent renal arteriole. Molecules such as water, glucose, urea, sodium chloride, amino acids pass through the semipermeable membrane of the dense capillary network of the glomerulus to form glomerular filtrate. Some of these molecules are later reabsorbed in the renal tubules.

Match each product of pyruvate metabolism with the condition under which it is produced. Drag each item to the appropriate bin.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Lactate: fermentation in human muscle

Ethanol: fermentation in yeast and bacteria

Acetyl CoA: aerobic oxidation

Explanation:

Lactate is produced in lactic fermentation in human muscle. Lactic fermentation in muscle cells is a process that occurs alternatively, in situations where the body does not perform aerobic respiration. Considered a short-term metabolic device, activated when the body is subjected to intense physical effort under conditions of low muscular oxygenation.

Alcoholic Fermentation, also known as ethanol fermentation, is the anaerobic pathway performed by yeast and some bacteria, in which simple sugars are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts usually function under aerobic conditions, either in the presence of oxygen, but are also capable of functioning under anaerobic conditions, or in the absence of oxygen. When oxygen is not readily available, fermentation alcoholic beverages occur in the yeast cell cytoplasm.

Acetyl CoA results from aerobic oxidation. This process occurs in mitochondria during cellular respiration, where pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, can be substituted, and often is, by fatty acids. This is because pyruvic acid is used to form a compound called Acetyl Coenzyme A or Acetyl CoA. In this sense, Acetyl CoA can also be produced by the degradation of fatty acids by a reaction called β oxidation.
