How is ozone important for us? Why is Ozone Layer important? Ozone protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Without the Ozone layer in the atmosphere, life on Earth would be very difficult. Plants cannot live and grow in heavy ultraviolet radiation, nor can the planktons that serve as food for […]
Are noble gases each a different color?
Are noble gases each a different color? Each of the noble gasses glows in its own colour when exposed to high voltage; for example helium becomes pink, krypton glows yellow/green, xenon shines in lavender blue and argon in light blue. What does argon smell like? Argon has no smell. It is a colorless gas. It […]
How do igneous rocks look like?
How do igneous rocks look like? Extrusive, or volcanic, igneous rocks look dull and do not sparkle much because they are fine grained. These crystals make a coarse-grained igneous rock called plutonic, or intrusive, igneous rock because the magma was intruded into cracks deep under the earth’s surface. What type of rock is granite? Granite […]

Why is it difficult for a high speed car to negotiate an unbanked turn?
Why is it difficult for a high speed car to negotiate an unbanked turn? (a) A huge force is pushing the car outward. (b) The magnitude of the friction force might not be enough to provide the necessary radial acceleration. A car negotiating an unbanked road at high speed is actually accelerating as the direction […]
Why is the skull divided into two parts?
Why is the skull divided into two parts? The skull is a bone structure that forms the head in vertebrates. It supports the structures of the face and provides a protective cavity for the brain. The skull is composed of two parts: the cranium and the mandible…. Skull TA98 A02.1.00.001 TA2 406 Anatomical terminology What […]
What is a disadvantage of hydrogen fuel cells?
What is a disadvantage of hydrogen fuel cells? There are disadvantages to using hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells in cars. These include: hydrogen is in the gas state at room temperature and pressure, so it is difficult to store in the car. fuel cells and electric motors are less durable than petrol engines and diesel engines, so […]
Why onion has no chloroplast?
Why onion has no chloroplast? The clear epidermal cells exist in a single layer and do not contain chloroplasts, because the onion fruiting body (bulb) is used for storing energy, not photosynthesis. The vacuole is prominent and present at the center of the cell, surrounded by cytoplasm. Do plant cells have chloroplasts and mitochondria? Plant […]
Is angular momentum conserved rolling without slipping?
Is angular momentum conserved rolling without slipping? In rolling motion without slipping, a static friction force is present between the rolling object and the surface. A rigid rotating body has angular momentum directed along the axis of rotation. 11.4: Conservation of Angular Momentum. In the absence of external torques, a system’s total angular momentum is […]
