C. It would reduce the force of inspiration.

Why C: Neck injuries can affect the diaphragm by causing lack of oxygen or a shortness in breath. This means it reduces the force of inspiration instead of expiration.

So yes you were right, Smarty Pants! :)

How many electrons does a neutral atom with four protons contain?

N76 [4]

Answer:
It would contain four electrons.
Explanation:
A neutral atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons. Therefore, a neutral atom with four protons will also have four electrons.
FYI an atom with four protons is an atom of the element beryllium, Be.

Allen pours water into a graduated cylinder. He notices that the surface of the water is curved, as shown below.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

When water is added to a graduated cylinder, having a surface where the sides of the water look higher than the center means that the curved surface is a concave meniscus which has formed because of surface tension (Choice C).

Explanation:

A meniscus is simply the curvature that the surface of a liquid acquires when it is in a container, such as a graduated cylinder. It is concave when there is attraction between molecules -water and glass- or it can be convex when both surfaces are repelled.

Water is a polar molecule, with the capacity to adhere to the surfaces it comes into contact with. This characteristic causes it to form a concave meniscus, as the outermost molecules adhere to the glass surface, while the surface tension of the water attracts the molecules from the centre downwards, causing the concavity.

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:

1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.

2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.

So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (see figure). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).
