What gas is important to photosynthesis? carbon dioxide What are the raw materials and end products of photosynthesis? The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf. What are three end products of photosynthesis? Glucose and oxygen are […]
Is Earth losing its atmosphere?
Is Earth losing its atmosphere? A pair of researchers from Toho University and NASA Nexus for Exoplanet System Science has found evidence, via simulation, that Earth will lose its oxygen-rich atmosphere in approximately 1 billion years. What would happen if we lost gravity? If the Earth’s gravity did just suddenly disappear we would no longer […]
How did Newton figure out gravity?
How did Newton figure out gravity? The legend is that Newton discovered Gravity when he saw a falling apple while thinking about the forces of nature. Whatever really happened, Newton realized that some force must be acting on falling objects like apples because otherwise they would not start moving from rest. Did Newton really discover […]
Who is the father of LED bulb?
Who is the father of LED bulb? Nick Holonyak Who invented the first LED light? Shuji Nakamura What purpose do LED lights serve? LED stands for light emitting diode. LED lighting products produce light up to 90% more efficiently than incandescent light bulbs. How do they work? An electrical current passes through a microchip, which […]
What happens if u eat chalk?
What happens if u eat chalk? Chalk is considered non-toxic in small amounts. If large amounts are eaten, it can be irritating to the stomach and cause vomiting. Chalk can be a choking hazard for very young children. CAUTION: Eating pool or billiard chalk can be different than school and blackboard chalk because it may […]
What is the most common way for a virus to kill a cell?
What is the most common way for a virus to kill a cell? Most viral infections eventually result in the death of the host cell. The causes of death include cell lysis, alterations to the cell’s surface membrane and various modes of programmed cell death. Some viruses cause no apparent changes to the infected cell. […]
What would happen if solar winds hit Earth?
What would happen if solar winds hit Earth? The most powerful solar storms send coronal mass ejections (CMEs), containing charged particles, into space. If Earth happens to be in the path of a CME, the charged particles can slam into our atmosphere, disrupt satellites in orbit and even cause them to fail, and bathe high-flying […]
Is continental or oceanic plates heavier?
Is continental or oceanic plates heavier? Because of their heavy ferromagnesian elements, oceanic plates are much denser than continental plates. The average density of ocean plates is approximately 200 pounds per cubic foot, while continental crust ranges between about 162 and and 172 pounds per cubic foot. What are 3 differences between oceanic and continental […]
What liquid is hardest to freeze?
What liquid is hardest to freeze? Liquid helium What affects the boiling point? The boiling point of a liquid depends on temperature, atmospheric pressure, and the vapor pressure of the liquid. When the atmospheric pressure is equal to the vapor pressure of the liquid, boiling will begin. Is it true that water boils at higher […]
