Trauma to the spinal cord is always serious. The higher it occurs in the spine, the more serious it is. Why should this be so

Answer:

As you get higher up the spinal chord it branches out further into more nerves branching off into the body. These nerves will be affected negatively. The further up the injury, the more nerves are damaged. It is also getting closer to the brain stem so there is a higher chance of widespread paralysis.

Effectus [21]

Answer: D. Digestion increases as the volume of the enzyme increases.

Explanation:

Enzymes speed up reactions by reducing the activation time of a reaction. If there are more enzymes therefore, the reaction will move faster.

Pepsin is an enzyme that prefers acidic conditions so it can work with dilute HCL. It can also work in temperatures of 40 °C without getting denatured. As more Pepsin is added therefore, the reaction will move faster and digestion will increase.

Why do scientists need to study seismic waves to analyze the interior of the earth and the layers of the earth?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Answer 1:

Seismic waves, the waves of energy that travel through the Earth as a result of an earthquake can tell us a lot about the internal structure of the Earth because these waves travel at different speeds in different materials. There are two types of waves that travel through the Earth: p-waves and s-waves.

P- waves are faster and they can travel through both solids and liquids. S-waves are slower and cannot travel through liquids. For both kinds of waves, the speed at which the wave travels also depends on the properties of the material through which it is traveling.

Scientists are able to learn about Earth’s internal structure by measuring the arrival of seismic waves at stations around the world. For example, we know that Earth’s outer core is liquid because s-waves are not able to pass through it; when an earthquake occurs there is a “shadow zone” on the opposite side of the earth where no s-waves arrive. Similarly, we know that the earth has a solid inner core because some p-waves are reflected off the boundary between the inner core and the outer core. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to travel along many different paths through the earth, we can figure out the velocity structure of the earth. Abrupt changes in velocity with depth correspond to boundaries between different layers of the Earth composed of different materials.

The numbers listed represent the number of electrons in the first, second, and third energy levels, respectively. On this basis,
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is because one of its orbital shells is not filled – the one with 1 electron. This atom will, therefore, want to lose this electron – it takes less energy to do this than gain 7 electrons -- to achieve stable electron configuration. This makes this atom very reactive in a chemical reaction.  Usually orbital shells of atoms begin with an S orbital shell that is filled with 2 electrons then P (x,y,z) orbital shells filled with 6 electrons total. There are also higher energy f and d orbitals that each take a maximum 10 and 14 electrons respectively. An atom is stable if its orbitals are fully filled.
