skelet666 [1.2K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Metals such as iron have low specific heat. It doesn't take much energy to raise their temperature. That's why a metal spoon heats up quickly when placed in a cup of hot coffee. Sand also has a relatively low specific heat.

balance the equation: KrF2+H2O -> Kr + O2 + Hf (the numbers are actually subscripts i just cant make them tiny on my keyboard
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

KrF2 + H2O -> Kr + O2 +2HF

Explanation:

You would just need to add a 2 on the HF, because on both sides it can balance with 2F's and 2 H's

Why is it important that the phospholipid bilayer be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
Vesnalui [34]

It is important that the phospholipid bilayer is both hydrophobic in the surface and hydrophilic inside to control and manage the incoming organic compounds mainly water from exceeding the needed amount or destablizing the concentration established by the cells.

Hydrophilic is a characteristic of an object which is attracted to water or can synthesize with water. In contrast to hydrophobic like fats, oils and lipis which has a strong aversion and dislike to water molecules.

Transmembrane proteins are found in the plasma membrane. Hydrophilicregions are embedded within the membrane, and Hydrophobic regions project from both surfaces of the bilayer. 

Approximately 20-80% of the cell membrane is composed of lipids, the rest, is made up of protein. The lipid layer of the membrane gives it flexible and permeable characteristic. While the protein part assists in transport of molecules it needs to survive.

Why is the phloem in a leaf important to the roots of a plant?
suter [353]

Answer:

The correct answer is A it transport the food generated by photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Both xylem and phloem are the examples of vascular tissue present in plants.xylem helps in the transport of water from root to different parts of the plants.

    Whereas phloem helps in the transport of photo synthate from mesophyll tissue to sieve element companion cell complex.The transport of photosynthate to different non photo sythetic parts of a plant involves both symplastic and appoplastic pathway.

  Symplastic pathway is a passive process depending on the pressure gradient for the transport of solutes through the plasmodesmata which connect 2 adjacent plant cells.

  Appoplastic pathway is an active transport process occuring against the concentration gradient which does not involve plasmodesmata.

In order to assess the species diversity of a community, you would need to know the number of different species present as well
ipn [44]
<h2>Species diversity </h2>

Explanation:

In order to assess the species diversity of a community, one would need to know the number of different species present as well as the relative abundance of the different species

  • Species diversity is a function of species richness, the number of species in a given locality and species evenness, the degree to which the relative abundances of species are similar
  • The composition of species in a given ecosystem is the result of long lasting evolution
  • Each species has adapted to its own niche, which is characterized by certain features (e.g. temperature range, availability of food or light) enabling the species to reproduce and thus maintain its population
  • The loss of one species affects many other species and causes imbalance
  • As a result, several functions within and of the system are not carried out any more
  • Any species that will take over the lost specie's niche will most certainly not replace all of the functions it used to perform
