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.

Answer:

The protein is known as Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) that is present in inner mitochondrial membrane of brown adipose cells of mammals and other organisms undergoing hibernation.

Function:

  • The protein allows the organisms to produce metabolic heat that helps in the organism’s regulation of body temperature.
  • This protein can also serve as a source of carbon for the production of carbohydrates when organism faces the period of prolonged fasting and thus help the organism to survive.
  • The protein also helps in the movement of protons into the mitochondrial matrix that ultimately activate the electron transport chain and releases more and more heat for body’s maintenance.

Hope it helps!

Answer: skull size of each species

Over time, it is the size of the skull  particulary that of the jaw bones, that can help determine the evolutionary relationship of two hominid species. It was believed that the jaws of hominids change as time passes by because the size of the brains changes too.

jonny [76]

Explanation:

Erosion by Ice Ice, usually in the form of glaciers, can erode the earth and create dramatic landforms. In frigid areas and on some mountaintops, glaciers move slowly downhill and across the land. As they move, they transport everything in their path, from tiny grains of sand to huge boulders.
