Answer:
Thermal energy can be transferred by conduction, convection or radiation
Explanation:
Thermal energy is the energy that flows from one point to another due to temperature differences between the points. There are three ways by which thermal energy is transferred which are conduction, convection and radiation.
In conduction, thermal energy is transferred in solids usually metals due to their good heat conductivity. An example is seen in the use of metals for preparing meals. Heat (or thermal energy) is transferred from the fire to the metal to the food.
Convection occurs in fluids (liquids and gases). It usually occurs in a cyclic manner. For example in heating water, thermal energy is gained by water molecules closest to the heat source (at the base of the container) and become lighter causing them to rise to the top. The molecules at the top become denser and sink to the bottom whereby they gain energy and rise in a similar manner. This repeated phenomenon occurs in a cyclic form whereby there's displacement of colder and denser molecules by warmer and lighter molecules. Another example is the occurrence of sea and land breezes.
Radiation occurs without the need of any material medium unlike conduction and convection. In radiation, heat is directly transferred from one point to the other without being transferred by molecules. This is seen in how thermal energy from the sun reaches the earth. In other words, heat is transferred in a vacuum
Answer:
meiosis I, anaphase
Explanation:
During meiosis 1, anaphase, the homologous chromosomes separate towards the opposite poles,line up in a random order and in crossing over, create genetic diversity.
Answer:
Option (a).
Explanation:
Counter current flow may be defined as the flow of water in the opposite direction with the flow of blood in the body. This countercurrent flow is generally occurs in fishes.
The one main benefit of the countercurrent flow is the absorption of maximum oxygen as the water flows inside the body. Approximately, three time more oxygen is extracted during the counter current flow. The concentration gradient is maintained up to the whole length of gills.
Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
B, since it needs somewhere to reside.
Answer:
The different types of energy include thermal energy, radiant energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, motion energy, sound energy, elastic energy and gravitational energy.
You need energy to do any work, which is why the ability to do any work is energy. Read that again. Potential and kinetic energy are two forms of energy that can be converted into each other. Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy and vice versa.
