The lucy is the fossil of a female belonging to the species Australopithecus afarensis.  The Lucy was a fossil of female hominin, the sex of the fossil was determined by studying the structure of the pelvic bones, which was somehow similar to that of modern human females. Hundreds of bone was discovered, which together make up the 40% of the body.

All the fossils, which are similar to this skeleton are thought to be from same genus, that is Australophithecus.

According to the nebular hypothesis, when did nuclear fusion begin?

sergiy2304 [10]

There is evidence that Emanuel Swedenborg first proposed parts of the nebular hypothesis in 1734.[3][4] Immanuel Kant, familiar with Swedenborg's work, developed the theory further in 1755, publishing his own Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens, wherein he argued that gaseous clouds (nebulae) slowly rotate, gradually collapse and flatten due to gravity, eventually forming stars and planets.[2]

How many 02 molecules are required for two glucose molecules to undergo cellular respiration?

jekas [21]

Answer: 12

Explanation: the reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + 38 ATP + heat
Because of the 2 glucose molecules you multiply the stoichiometry with a factor 2 so: 2 x 6 O2 = 12 O2

Many marine organisms depend on up welling to bring nutrients to the surface. How might El Nino affect a fisherman's way of life

svp [43]

During an El Nino, warm water gathers along the West coast of South America, so the nutrient rich water is no longer being upwelled. keeping in mind that cold water sinks and warm water rises, usually the warm water near coastal regions would not be full of nutrients compared to the cold water where the nutrients fall. therefore, more fish will be located or migrate to areas of this nutrient rich cold water instead. So, many fishermen would not have high yields of fish ultimately affecting their way of life and money. also a lot of these fish that remain at the surface would not be as healthy or nutrient rich.

hope that helps! :))
