Biology

Arisa [49]3 years ago

Answer:

  • The earth is round, meaning the part of it that is closer to the sun, will get more solar energy than the other parts which will get less. (Don't believe me? Just try placing a circle on a flat line, and see if you can get it to evenly touch.)
  • The earth is constantly rotating on it's axis, and since its axis is slightly tilted, the two poles will get different amounts of solar energy at different times. While one pole will be closer the other will be farther away, until the earth rotates of course.
  • The earth doesn't revolve around the Sun evenly, meaning instead of a perfectly even circle with equal space around the sun, it's more of an elliptical shape, or basically an oval. So this would mean the earth would be slightly further away from the sun as it completes its orbit.

I'm not an expert, nor am I absolutely sure if this is right, but I hope my answer helps.

P.S. Sorry if it's wrong

Why does physarum polycephalum branch out like a plant or fungus?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Physarum first grows as single-celled amoebae, but the amoebae fuse, and the organism loses its 'cellular' makeup. As the organism continues to grow, nuclei divide without cell division. The resulting bag of nuclei is called a 'coenocyte' or 'plasmodium'.

What are the environmental issues with road salt?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Salt leaves the road and enters the environment by splash and spray from vehicles, transportation by wind, snow melt into the soil and as runoff to surface waters. Salt primarily causes dehydration which leads to foliage damage but also causes osmotic stress that harms root growth.

timama [110]
Bacterial cells died because they plasmolyzed. when higher amount of glucose was added in the medium, the medium became hypertonic in comparison to plasma of the bacterial cells. As a result, water moves from the cells to medium by osmosis making the cells to shrink and lose their normal functioning which cause their death.
