Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism
Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.
Answer: There was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a process in which the solvent flow from a solution of low concentration to a solution of high concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
When the red blood cells are put in water that contained salt and the red blood cells burst after some time.
This means the solvent has moved from outside to inside the cell and this is possible only when the concentration of solute is high inside the cell than outside. That means the solution has low concentration of solute as compared to the cell and was a hypotonic solution.
Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity that describes the heat content of a system, that can not be measured directly. That's why we measure change in enthaply, measured in the units joules. The statement that e<span>nthalpy change depends on the rate at which a substance is heated or cooled is false. Enthalpy change depends only on the following factors:

Answer: After 4710 seconds, 1/8 of the compound will be left
Explanation:
Using the formulae
Nt/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2
Where
N= amount of the compound present at time t
No= amount of compound present at time t=0
t= time taken for N molecules of the compound to remain = 4710 seconds
t1/2 = half-life of compound = 1570 seconds
Plugging in the values, we have
Nt/No = (1/2)^(4710s/1570s)
Nt/No = (1/2)^3
Nt/No= 1/8
Therefore after 4710 seconds, 1/8 molecules of the compound will be left
