What quantities are conserved in a nuclear transmutation.

Biology
1 answer:
irina1246 [14]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Nuclear transformations always obey two fundamental conservation laws: (1) mass number is conserved and (2) electrical charge is conserved. Energy and mass are not served, but can be inter-converted according to Einstein’s equation, E=mc2. The amount of binding energy released from the nucleus of an atom during fission and fusion is so tremendous that a small fraction of mass is converted to energy; this is referred to as the mass defect.

How can one set of parents produce 19 children who all look different and unique but yet have some similar characteristics or tr
arsen [322]

Polygenic inheritance. The characteristics of a person aren't controlled completely by a single gene, but rather several genes that generally only make a small contribution to how the child turns out in the outcome. At one point there was a study that showed over 400 genes were linked to height, so imagine any other characteristics of a person. Environmental effects also serve a large purpose in how a child is to turn out. These children may all be growing up in the same environment, however that's not to say they all grow up the same. They could all be treated the same way and react differently to it, this counts both for physical and mental traits. All human's features such as eye colors, hair color and height are determined by several different genes. As an example, there are around 2 major eye color genes, however there are also around 14 different genes that actually contribute in determining a person's exact eye color. Some are bound to look the same, as they have the same parents, however, just because they have the same parents doesn't mean they all will look exactly alike.

What is endosperm? via cotyledons, a source of food for the embryo the leaves that are a part of the embryo the male portion of
AfilCa [17]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

An endosperm is defined as the tissue which are produced inside the seeds during fertilization. As the endosperm surrounds the embryo, it acts as the food storage for the embryo and provide nutrition.

During embryo development , endosperms supports enlargement of cotyledons which helps in storage function and stores fats and starch and provide nourishment to the embryo.

for example cereal crops or grains are primarily endosperm which stores fat and starch and are edible fruits.

Hence, the correct option is A, endosperm can be a cotyledon which functions as a source of food for embryo.

Compared to arteries, the velocity of flow of the blood through the capillaries is:______.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: D) much slower

Explanation:

The circulatory system, made up of arteries and veins, is fundamental to maintaining life. Its function is the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all cells, as well as the removal of carbon dioxide and waste products, the maintenance of physiological pH, and the mobility of the elements, proteins, and cells of the immune system. An artery is each of the vessels that carry blood with oxygen from the heart to the capillaries of the body. They arise from a ventricle and their walls are very strong and elastic to resist the pressure that the blood exerts when it is pumped out of the heart.

Capillaries are very small diameter, thin-walled blood vessels connect small arteries (arterioles) to veins, allowing nutrients and oxygen to pass through to tissues.  The main function of the capillaries is the exchange of substances between the light of the capillaries and the cell interstice of the tissues.

When the blood reaches the capillary bed, the speed with which it circulates inside these vessels is very low. This is due to the fact that in a branching system of tubes, the speed decreases proportionally to the increase in the joint section of the branches. Thus, in the aorta, which has a small section, the speed is very high (400 mm/sec), it decreases at the level of the arteries and arterioles and at the capillary level it becomes minimal (0.1 mm/sec). <u>This fact, together with the thinness of the capillary wall, provides the necessary conditions of time and space for the exchange to take place in the most optimal way.</u>

Why does the reporter have a tube up his nose?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

"To accurately measure core temperature" the reporter have a tube up his nose

Explanation:

The tube seen entering the reporter's nose is a thermistor which is used to measure the core temperature of the body with very high levels of accuracy. The tube reaches the esophagus, which is one of the most preferred locations for measuring the core temperature. The core body temperature is the operating temperature of the human body and it refers to the temperature of the deeper structures of the body instead of the peripheral tissues.  The esophagus is close to the left ventricle of the heart, it has a deep body location and a quick response to any changes in the body temperature.
