What is the function of circuit breakers and fuses?​

Biology

Andru [333]2 years ago

Answer:

Fuses and Circuit Breakers both serve the same purpose – which is to protect electrical circuits by preventing overloads that can cause fires. They both interrupt the flow of electricity, but in very different ways from each other. While a fuse is made of a piece of metal that melts when overheated, circuit breakers on the other hand, have internal switch mechanisms that can be tripped by an unsafe surge of electricity.

Fuses can be quicker for interrupting the flow of power, but when they melt they must be replaced; circuit breakers on the other hand just need to be reset. When comparing the two, we’ll take a look at some of the major advantages and disadvantages between fuses and circuit breakers to distinguish between them.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Trophic level

Consumer

Producer

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy for their life processes, which they obtain by taken in food. In an ecosystem, this food is derived when organisms feed on each other. This process that eventually leads to a flow of energy within organisms is called FOOD CHAIN.

A food chain or food web always begins with a unique set of organisms called PRODUCERS. Producers are autotrophs capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and use it to produce their food (chemical) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Other organisms called HETEROTROPHS feed on these producers to derive energy. In ecology, they are called CONSUMERS. Other consumers feed on the previous ones also to get energy.

Hence, each step of the food chain is occupied by organisms that obtain and store energy by feeding on another organism. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

In a nutshell, a PRODUCER (usually plants) starts the food chain/web due to its photosynthetic ability. This producer gets eaten by an organism called CONSUMER and in the process, the energy and nutrient stored in the producers flows to the consumer. Another consumers feeds on the previous one and the energy keeps flowing. Each step of the food chain occupied by an organism that stores and transfers this energy is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

What physical health risks are directly associated with urban sprawl?​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The risks of various pollution and infections increase with urban sprawl.

Urban sprawl can be described as a condition in which the people from urban area migrate to low residential areas due to which the city starts to expand more in size.

During urban sprawl, more water contamination is likely to be caused as the water available cannot support such a large number of migration. There is not proper sewage system due to which contamination arise and cause sickness in the people. Also, these areas have more pollution due to traffic jam situations which causes sickness.

Explanation:

Immunity refers to the state of being resistant to infection or reinfection with a pathogen

It can be passive or active immunity.

Active immunity can be Naturally acquired active immunity when a person is exposed to live pathogens,manifests the disease and due to primary immune response they become immune. Artificially acquired active immunity is through vaccination.

Passive immunity can be Naturally acquires passive immunity where a fetus gets some antibodies from maternal blood stream and becomes immune to certain pathogens. Whereas Artificially acquired passive immunity is when an individual is injected with antibodies such as gamma globulin.
