Why is the electron transport chain so important? The ETC is the most important stage of cellular respiration from an energy point of view because it produces the most ATP. When a cell needs energy, it breaks the third phosphate group bond and uses the resulting energy. Which anaerobic process is responsible for producing ATP […]
How can we reduce natural hazards?
How can we reduce natural hazards? Awareness, education, preparedness, and prediction and warning systems can reduce the disruptive impacts of a natural disaster on communities. Mitigation measures such as adoption of zoning, land-use practices, and building codes are needed, however, to prevent or reduce actual damage from hazards. What precautions should we take to prevent […]
What is electrostatic screening length?
What is electrostatic screening length? Within the classical mean-field theories that explain screening and interactions in dilute electrolytes,(1) the Debye length, λD, is the yardstick against which the reach of electrostatic interactions in solution is typically measured. What is screening in cable? The screen is often directly placed over the insulated cores or pairs inside […]
Is Rain high or low pressure?
Is Rain high or low pressure? Generally high pressure means fair weather, and low pressure means rain. Is low pressure hot or cold? Cold, dense air squeezes its way through the warmer, less-dense air, and lifts the warm air. Because air is lifted instead of being pressed down, the movement of a cold front through […]
Is filming on a plane Illegal?
Is filming on a plane Illegal? For example, American Airlines’ photography policy strictly prohibits “photography or video recording of airline personnel, equipment, or procedures.” United, Delta and Southwest have similar policies. However, even if a passenger films without permission, there is no law against taking video or photographs on a plane. Can you take pictures […]
How do you remember thermodynamic relations?
How do you remember thermodynamic relations? A mnemonic used by students to remember the Maxwell relations (in thermodynamics) is “Good Physicists Have Studied Under Very Fine Teachers”, which helps them remember the order of the variables in the square, in clockwise direction. How do you remember Gibbs free energy? The equation often seen for Gibbs […]
Do Fitz and Simmons have babies?
Do Fitz and Simmons have babies? Child of Genius Alya Fitz was born halfway through the Earth year 2020, on the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship Zephyr One in deep space. Her birth was the result of her parents, genius engineer Leo Fitz and biochemist Jemma Simmons, taking a years-long break from building a time machine to aid […]
