What is a function of the backbone in animals?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

C - It surrounds the spinal cord.

Explanation:

Option A would be incorrect. Having a protective shell on an animal’s back would be one of the ways they would be protected against predators. And having a backbone wouldn’t really make a good shield against predators.

Option B is incorrect. The pancreas regulates blood glucose, not the backbone.

Option D would also be incorrect. It doesn’t limit movement unless it’s bent or positioned abnormally. Or unless it’s broken or malfunctioned.

The only option that is correct is option C. Hope it helps. ^^

Albert Einstein showed in one of his papers in 1905 that Brownian motion could be explained by assuming that matter is made up of tiny particles. His paper predicted how the motion should look like and also allowed for the calculation of the mass of a single molecule. Current evidence includes: 1. Individual ions (atoms with an electric charge) can be manipulated using electric and magnetic fields. 2. Elevation maps can now be made that show bumps caused by individual atoms.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

7.8 mol Li

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 7.8 \ mol \ Li(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Li}{1 \ mol \ Li})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 4.69716 \cdot 10^{24} \ atoms \ Li$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are told to round to 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

4.69716 × 10²⁴ atoms Li ≈ 4.7 × 10²⁴ atoms Li

Mg + 2H20 + Mg(OH)2 + H2 + 353kJ

mixer [17]

Answer:

$m_{H_2O}=8.9g$

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the given reaction, since magnesium and water are in a 1:2 molar ratio at the reactants, we must apply the following stoichiometric factors to compute the complete reaction of the 6.0 g of magnesium:

$m_{H_2O}=6.0gMg*\frac{1molMg}{24.305 gMg}*\frac{2molH_2O}{1molMg} *\frac{18gH_2O}{1molH_2O} \\\\m_{H_2O}=8.9g$
