What are 5 causes of biodiversity loss?
What are 5 causes of biodiversity loss? Five main threats to biodiversity are commonly recognized in the programmes of work of the Convention: invasive alien species, climate change, nutrient loading and pollution, habitat change, and overexploitation. What are the types and examples of biodiversity? Biodiversity includes three main types: diversity within species (genetic diversity), between […]
Who benefits from photovoltaic cells?
Who benefits from photovoltaic cells? Electricity produced by solar cells is clean and silent. Because they do not use fuel other than sunshine, PV systems do not release any harmful air or water pollution into the environment, deplete natural resources, or endanger animal or human health. Photovoltaic systems are quiet and visually unobtrusive. How long […]
Which of the following is the primary function of osteoclasts?
Which of the following is the primary function of osteoclasts? Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells with a myeloid lineage, which have the function of clearing away mineralized and calcified constituents of the bone matrix which are aged or damaged. What happens through the action of osteoclasts? Osteoclasts resorb bone through the production of proteolytic enzymes […]
How do you calculate the force to push an object?
Should carrots float or sink?
Should carrots float or sink? What’s happening in there? The carrot is more dense than fresh water so the carrot sinks in fresh water. When salt is dissolved in the water, the density of the water increases until the salt water becomes more dense than the carrot which makes the carrot float in the salt […]
Can you charge a conductor?
Can you charge a conductor? Explanation: While you can charge a dielectric (non conductive, like plastic) object rubbing, you cannot charge a conductor (like a metal) rubbing. If you add a charge in one zone of the conducting object, the other charges will automatically re-arrange to neutralize the charge. Is salt water an insulator? For […]
What are the organelles of cell?
What are the organelles of cell? An organelle is a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell, much like an organ does in the body. Among the more important cell organelles are the nuclei, which store genetic information; mitochondria, which produce chemical energy; and ribosomes, which assemble proteins. […]
