Answer:

Because of multiple reasons:

Explanation:

Atoms are way too small to weigh.
They couldn't use weight, they would have to use mass.
Some atoms are free-floating, because they are the air.
If they even made a scale that measured each atom, it would also catch the air atoms as well, unless they had a vacuum chamber, but even then, no one can make a perfect vacuum, space is not even a perfect vacuum...

How remote sensing works and why it is important in cartography

AleksandrR [38]

Advanced technologies like remote sensing have modified the way by which maps are constructed. Remote sensing is the procedure of collecting information about Earth with the help of instruments mounted on airplanes, satellites, or ships.

Remote sensing helps in monitoring and detecting the physical features of a region by determining its emitted and reflected radiation at a distance from the targeted region. Unique or specialized camera gather remotely sensed pictures of the Earth that assists the researchers in sensing the things about the Earth.

If a cell with 12 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, how many daughter cells result and what is the chromosome number in each daught

VMariaS [17]

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that produces 2 daughter cells that is genetically identical to both the other daughter and the parent cell.

By the word genetically identical, it means that they have the same number of chromosomes.

This process starts by a parent cell doubling their chromosomes, then, it divides, and therefore each daughter cells receive the original number of chromosomes.

Therefore, the answer to this question is 2 cells, 12 chromosomes each.

Cattle depend on microorganisms in their digestive tract to digest the cellulose in their diets. The cattle and the microorganis

GaryK [48]

<h2>The correct answer is: Mutualism.</h2>

Explanation:

Mutualism can be defined as a type of symbiotic relationship.
Symbiosis can be defined as the type of ecological interplay in between two species localized in the same habitat in which at least one of the species gets benefited in the form of food, shelter or protection due to the interaction.
Mutualism is a type of positive symbiosis in which both the species involved in the ecological interplay benefits due to the interaction in between them.
In the given question, some micro-organisms survive in the digestive tract of the cattle.
These micro-organisms produce the enzyme, cellulase, which helps in digesting cellulose present in the food consumed by the cattle.
The cattle is incapable of producing this cellulase enzyme by itself and is dependent on the micro-organisms for its synthesis.
Hence, the the micro-organisms help the cattle in obtaining nutrition and energy by the digestion of cellulose.
On the other hand, the micro-organisms get shelter, nutrition and protection in the gut of the cattle.
