Convert the boiling temperature at gold, 2966 degree centigrate , into degrees fahrenheit and kelvin.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Boiling point of gold is 1630 $^{0}\textrm{F}$ or 3239.15 K

Explanation:

We know, $T(^{0}\textrm{F})=1.8T(^{0}\textrm{C})+32$

Here $T(^{0}\textrm{C})$ and $T(^{0}\textrm{F})$ are temperature in degree centigrate and temperature in degree farhenite respectively.

So, $2966^{0}\textrm{C}=\frac{2966-32}{1.8}^{0}\textrm{F}$

= 1630 $^{0}\textrm{F}$

We know, $1^{0}\textrm{C}=273.15 K$

So, 2966 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ = (2966+273.15) K = 3239.15 K

Which of the following statements is true regarding bacteria and animal cells?

Fantom [35]

The most accurate answer is A.

Bacterial cells are generally very small, almost 10 times smaller than most animal and plant cells. Most bacterial cells measure about 0.2 to 10 microns or micrometers which in inches is 0.0000079 to 0.00039.

One of the reasons that bacterial cells are so small is that they require a large surface area to volume ratio to be able to take in nutrients. They take in nutrients from their surroundings through the process of diffusion.
