Where in your body do mechanical and chemical digestion occur? Digestion is a process that converts nutrients in ingested food into forms that can be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Proper digestion requires both mechanical and chemical digestion and occurs in the oral cavity, stomach, and small intestine. What mechanical and chemical digestion occurs in […]

How far did Amelia Earhart fly? 2,000 miles Who piloted the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic? The First Nonstop Flight Across the Atlantic Lasted 16 Harrowing Hours. John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown flew across the Atlantic with the help of a sextant, whisky and coffee in 1919—eight years before Charles Lindbergh’s flight. Who […]

What happen when you perform a cardiovascular activity? Cardiovascular exercise is any vigorous activity that increases heart rate and respiration and raises oxygen and blood flow throughout the body while using large muscle groups of the body repetitively and rhythmically. What is the relationship between physical activity and cardiovascular fitness? What is the connection between […]

How many coordinate systems are there? In this article we mainly discuss two types of coordinate systems. What is the difference between phi and theta? Theta is the same as the angle used in polar coordinates. Phi is the angle between the z-axis and the line connecting the origin and the point. How do you […]

What enzymes do lysosomes contain? Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that contain digestive enzymes, such as glycosidases, proteases and sulfatases. Lysosomal enzymes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are transported to the Golgi apparatus, and are tagged for lysosomes by the addition of mannose-6-phosphate label. What organelle is responsible for respiration? The “powerhouses” of the […]

Is K or Br bigger? Since potassium is located at the start of period 3, and bromine at the end of the same period, potassium will have a larger atomic radius than bromine, and thus the largest atomic radius of the four given atoms. Does S or O have a larger atomic radius? Consequently for […]

Why force is directly proportional to pressure? From equation (1) it is evident that as force increases, pressure also increases and as force decreases pressure also decreases since force is in the numerator. Or pressure is directly proportional to the applied force. Whereas as the area increases, the pressure decreases. i.e. it increases with the […]

How many kilowatts does a TV use? How Much Electricity Do My Home Appliances Use? Appliance Wattage per hour of use Annual cost (at average use) Television (>40”, HD TV) 234 $41.00 Refrigerator 225 $78.84 Washing Machine 255 $9.55 Dryer 2790 $104.46 Is it expensive to have a fan on all night? According to Energy […]

What is its effect to the environment? Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water. Can humans improve their environment if so how? Avoid Taking Cars or Carpool When Possible. Cars are harmful […]

Are superconductors 100% efficient? A superconducting material has absolutely zero electrical resistance, not just some small amount. If conductor resistance could be eliminated entirely, there would be no power losses or inefficiencies in electric power systems due to stray resistances. Electric motors could be made almost perfectly (100%) efficient. Which metal is superconductor? But at […]
