Terrestrial Radiation – Once insolation is absorbed by the Earth's surface, it eventually gets re-radiated back into the atmosphere or into space. ... Some of this infrared radiation is trapped by gases in the atmosphere. This helps to heat the atmosphere and the planet. This effect is called the greenhouse effect

Luden [163]

Answer:

The scaling exponent will be 0.75

Explanation:

According to a famous article by Max Kleiber*, the scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals Pmetab (measured in kcal/day) with the body mass Mb (measured in kilograms) is  P metab = 70 Mb^0.75 .

What is the scaling exponent (the quantity x in a scaling law A = cMbx) for the specific metabolic rate as a function of the animal’s body mass?

he scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals P=kcal/day

Mb=body mass in kilograms

Comparing

P metab = 70 Mb^0.75 .

with A = cMb^x

the scaling exponent will be 0.75

metabolic rate is the energy(in kilojoule) consumed at rest. it accounts for the highest amount of energy a body consumes daily

sodium (NA) and water (H2O undergo a chemical reaction that produces sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). Which equati
natita [175]

Answer:

There are no options in this question, however, the equation can be provided. The answer is:

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

Explanation:

This question is deacribing the equation between sodium (Na) and water (H2O) to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The equation originally is as follows:

Na + H2O --> NaOH + H2

From the above equation, one would notice that it is not balanced because the number of atoms of each element is not the same on both sides of the equation. Hence, to balance the equation, a coefficient is used to make sure the same number of atoms of each element are on both sides.

We have;

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

What are some similarities between sex-linked traits and dominant/recessive
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

What do you already know about the difference between dominant and recessive traits? Or sex-linked and autosomal traits? Dominant traits are the traits that are normally shown in an organism. Recessive traits are the traits that are not normally shown in an organism overpowered by the dominate trait.
