Contrast rocks and soil. List three differences.

Answers

Answer 1
1) Rock is solid, coherent enough so you can’t break its components away without a hard enough tool. While on the other hand soil is not coherent enough to resist lateral pressure or hitting parts of it without any soil.

2) Soil contains organic matter (humus) while most rocks do not.

3) Rock is solid material forming from the part of the earth surface, soil is the powered form of rock.

When does movement of materials in and out of the cell NOT require energy

Answers

Answer : Passive transport mechanism

Explanation: Passive and Active transport mechanisms are the two types of transport mechanisms by which molecules move in and out of the cell membranes. Passive Transport mechanisms do not require energy from cells. The movement of the molecules from High to Low concentration requires no energy. E.g. Osmosis, simple and facilitated diffusion.

How do the cells in your kneecap get rid of the waste product of cellular

respiration?*

Answers

Answer:

Please find the explanation to how cells in the kneecap get rid of waste products of respiration.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose molecule is broken down to release energy in form of ATP. The major waste product of this process of respiration, however, is Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Since all cells in a living organism like human, whether kneecap cells or brain cells, undergo respiration, CO2 is excreted out of all cells via DIFFUSION i.e the CO2 molecules move out of the cell where it is in high concentration into the bloodstream, where it is in low concentration via the cell membrane. The blood transports the CO2 waste to the alveoli of the lungs, where it is finally exhaled out of the body.

Answer:

A population of mice occupies a tree stump in a forest. During the last decade, there has been little change in the number of mice in the population. Which of the following would likely cause the number of mice to decrease quickly?

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the time of the next high tide would be 8:30 p.m. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

What is High tide?

High tide may be defined as the tide when the water is at its greatest elevation from the ground level. The tide gets significantly high when the sea or ocean is closer to the Moon. It disturbs the life of all sorts of aquatic animals.

According to the context of this question,

The time at which an observer recorded the first high tide = 7:12 a.m.

The time at which an observer recorded the second high tide = 7:38 pm.

The time at which an observer recorded the third high tide = 8:04 a.m.

So, the difference between the time of all these tides is found to be 12 hours and 26 minutes.

Therefore, the next and fourth high tides would be observed after 12 hours and 26 minutes at 8:04 a.m which is 8:30 p.m.

Therefore, the time of the next high tide would be 8:30 p.m. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

D. Underneath both the soil and the ocean, Earth's outer layer is made of sand and water.

Answers

Answer:

My guess would be C

Explanation:

The crust, which is Earths outer solid layer of rock, is around 20km thick if I remembered correctly, and the ocean is nowhere near that, so there would be rock under the ocean.

If you find a better answer, then use it, because I'm not completely sure, but that's my best guess based on the possible answers

why do animals gain so much weight during hibernation?

Answers

Hello! Hope this helps!


Since winter is when food is scarcest, animals that are going to hibernate need to store as much fat as possible before the cold really sets in. Other animals hibernate even when it's warm out and there's food to eat.

In other words, during hibernation, the hibernating animal's metabolism, heart rate, and breath rate slow way down. The animal's body temperature also falls significantly, sometimes below freezing! So the animal won't consume energy heating itself. Some animals even need to periodically “wake up” from hibernation in order to sleep!

If two objects have the exact same volume and they both sink, but one has more mass than the other, will they displace the same volume of water? Explain your answer:​

Answers

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

No, they will not displace the same volume of water because both objects has same volume. The volume of water displaces if the volume of an object is increases while more mass has no effect on the volume of water. So if we put the two objects in water having same volume so it will not displace the volume of water if mass is increased.
