Answer:

<h2><em><u>Base</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>isolated</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>system</u></em></h2>

Explanation:

<u>Fixed based system:- </u>

A fixed-base building (built directly on the ground) will move with an earthquake’s motion and can sustain extensive damage as a result. 

<u>Base isolated system:-</u>

A base isolation system is a method of seismic protection where the structure (superstructure) is separated from the base (foundation or substructure).

<em><u>Hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>

<em><u>A</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>base</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>isolated</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>system</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>much</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>more</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>better</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>in</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>area</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>where</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>there</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>are</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>lot</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>of</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>earthquakes</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u> </u></em>

Use the picture to tell if it is accurate , precise , or both?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Accurate - Yes

Precise - Yes

Explanation:

Accuracy and precision are two ways to detect the closeness of measured values in an experiment. However, these two terms do not mean the same thing.

Accuracy of a measurement refers to how close a measurement (experimental values) is to a true or actual value while the precision of a measurement refers to how close the experimental or measured values are to one another.

Note that, a measurement may be accurate but not precise or be precise but not accurate.

In the case of the dart board in the image, it is evident that the measured values (represented by darts) are close to the middle target (represents the known or accepted mark). Hence, the measurements are said to be ACCURATE. Likewise, the measured values are also close to one another, meaning that they are PRECISE.

Therefore, the measurements are both precise and accurate.

Place the following in the correct order as they occur in CELL RESPIRATION.
Goryan [66]
  1. Electrons and h+ ions pop off and are picked up by NADH.
  2. 1 C is stripped from 3-C PGA and makes Co2.
  3. Coenzyme A attaches to 2-C molecule making Acetyl Co-A.
  4. Resulting 3 C molecule is stabilized BEFORE entering the mitochondria.
  5. Acetyl Co-A enters mitochondria and drops off 2-C molecules.
  6. In cytosol, 6-C glucose and 2 ATP split into two 3-C molecules (glycolysis).
  7. 2-C molecule combines with 4-C molecule and breaks into two 3-C molecules
  8. Krebs cycle spins twice; each time stripping 1 carbon to make Co2 as a by-product.
  9. With each cycle of Krebs, electrons and H+ ions pop off, are picked up by NADH and FADH2 and taken to ETC
  10. 4 molecules of ATP are generated.

Explain how volcanic activity, run-off and dissolved gases affect the chemical composition of seawater
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Seawater is a complex mixture of 96.5 percent water, 2.5 percent salts, and smaller amounts of other substances, including dissolved inorganic and organic materials, particulates, and a few atmospheric gases, so it would affect the water negatively.
