Great question!

<span> mechanical advantage is the factor of which a machine multiplies the force put into it. For example, if a simple machine has a mechanical advantage of 3 it means that it made the work you did 3 times easier or you only had to put in 1/3 the force you would have if you didn’t have the simple machine.
</span>
To calculate the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle you must divide the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.<span>Therefore larger wheels means that the speed of the wheels is faster than the speed of the axle and for each rotation the axle makes the wheels are making multiple rotations. A mechanical advantage of 5 means that the wheels are moving 5 times faster than the axle.
</span>
<span>F = MA= radius of wheel/radius of axle</span>, this is 1 when the radius of both the wheel and axle are the same,and greater than one when the radius of the axle is less than the radius of the wheel.

Bond [772]

During cellular respiration, which is a part of metabolism, one molecule of glucose produces a maximum yield of 38 molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the energy form that cells use to function and has also been often called the "currency" of the cells.

The whole process begins with breakdown of food by the digestive system right down to their monomer units. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is carried by blood to all cells of the body.

Each cell takes in glucose and breaks it down through the respiration process that begins with glycolysis in the cytoplasm which yields 2 ATP molecules, then onward into the mitochondria of the cell where Krebs cycle and electron transport chain processes generate 34 to 36 more molecules of ATP.

torisob [31]

Answer:

It is better to compare the average height gain of control and experimental groups of plants to eliminate all other variables.

Explanation:

If you evaluate individual plants, the data may vary. The experimental group is the one where an experimental procedure is performed while the control group does not receive any treatment.
