What protects the cell and is selectively permeable? A selectively permeable (sometimes called semi-permeable) membrane allows some molecules across but not others. JOB: The cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell and thus protects the cell. How do organelles help keep the cell alive? Core organelles are found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. […]
What is the relation between the angle of incidence and the angle of deviation?
What is the relation between the angle of incidence and the angle of deviation? The angle through which the emergent ray deviates from the direction of incident ray is called angle of deviation ‘d’. As the angle of incidence is increased, angle of deviation ‘d’ decreases and reaches minimum value. If the angle of incidence […]
What keeps the moon moving in a circular motion?
What keeps the moon moving in a circular motion? Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep planets in orbit around the Sun and all types of satellite in orbit around the Earth. The Earth’s gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon’s velocity. What changes continuously in […]
Can binaural beats make you hallucinate?
Can binaural beats make you hallucinate? Some people may hallucinate, in their own experience. Binaural beats are very subjective, some many people can listen to the exact same beat and have a different experience. They all have a particular frequency which helps to alter your brainwave pattern. This induces a state of mind depending on […]
Do fires raise soil pH?
Do fires raise soil pH? The impact of fires on vegetation and wildlife is obvious. Nutrient levels and soil organic matter both increase after fire. Spanish research showed a significant increase in soil pH, carbon and nutrients immediately after a prescribed grass fire. How is soil affected by fire? The most dramatic effect of a […]
What are the 5 types of natural selection?
What are the 5 types of natural selection? Stabilizing selection, directional selection, diversifying selection, frequency -dependent selection, and sexual selection all contribute to the way natural selection can affect variation within a population. What is the rarest pattern of natural selection? The shape comes from the fact that both extremes are selected for during disruptive […]
What are the three levels of physical activity?
What are the three levels of physical activity? Exercise is categorized into three different intensity levels. These levels include low, moderate, and vigorous and are measured by the metabolic equivalent of task (aka metabolic equivalent or METs). The effects of exercise are different at each intensity level (i.e. training effect). What are the aims of […]
What are the pros and cons of wind energy?
What are the pros and cons of wind energy? Pros and cons of wind energy Pros of wind energy Cons of wind energy Renewable & clean source of energy Intermittent Low operating costs Noise and visual pollution Efficient use of land space Some adverse environmental impact What are the negative effects of wind energy? As […]
What bank angle is a rate 1 turn?
What bank angle is a rate 1 turn? The bank angle required to conduct a turn at a specific rate is directly proportional to True Airspeed (TAS). The approximate bank angle required to accomplish a coordinated rate one turn (3°/second) can be calculated by dividing the TAS (in knots) by 10 and then adding 7. […]
