15. Explain how each of the following creates electrical energy:
a.
Solar
Hydro
Tidal
Wind
OTEC
Biomass
Geothermal

Answers

Answer 1
Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity

Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity

Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity

Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity

Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity

2. Why are cell walls useful in plant cells but not animal cells?

Answers

Plant cell needs cell wall whereas animal cell do not because the plants need rigid structure so that they can grow up and out . All cells have cell membranes, and the membranes are flexible. So animal cells can have various shapes, but plant cells only have the shapes of their cell walls.

2. Coral snakes are brightly colored, highly venomous snakes with red, yellow, and black bands along their bodies. Another species of snake, called the scarlet king snake, has similar bands of red, black, and yellow. Which of the following describes the conditions that resulted in a large population of king snakes with these types of markings?

King snakes and coral snakes relied on similar food sources that contributed to their unique coloring.

Since king snakes with these markings were avoided by predators, they were able to survive to pass on this trait to offspring.

Coral snakes mated with king snakes often enough to produce another species of king snake with the red, black, and yellow.

Overproduction of offspring increased the likelihood that the genetic mutation leading to these bands would spontaneously occur.

The phase shown here is anaphase. the correct option is A.

What is anaphase?

Anaphase is the stage of mitosis that occurs after metaphase, during which replicated chromosomes are split and newly replicated chromosomes are moved to opposite poles of the cell.

The missing image is attached below.

The image is showing the split of chromosomes, so it is indicating anaphase of cell division.

Thus, the correct option is A.

Touch the stigma and notice how it feels. What is the advantage of this type of texture?
A. The sticky texture allows for capture of prey to help with fertilization.
B. The sticky texture allows for the exchange of carbon dioxide to assist with photosynthesis.
C. The sticky texture allows for pollen to adhere to the stigma for fertilization.
D. The sticky texture allows for water molecules to not escape from the plant, thus preventing dehydration.​

Answers

Answer:

C. The sticky texture allows for pollen to adhere to the stigma for fertilization.

Explanation:

The flower is the reproductive structure of a plant. The STIGMA is a part of the female reproductive system, which is known for its function to receive pollen grains from the male flower during pollination. However, according to factual information and as stated in this question, stigmas are sticky to touch.

The major advantage of this stickiness of stigma is that it allows pollens from the male flower to be strongly adhered to the stigma in order for fertilization to occur.

The Haunted Forest  

Once upon a time there was a family, made up of two young ones and their parents, traveling by road to road. One day the car broke down in the forest. The parents went out to get help, and so the children would not get bored, they left them with the radio on. It turned night time and the parents still did not return. Then suddenly they heard the disturbing news go on in the radio: A very dangerous killer had escaped from a prison near the forest. Hours passed and the children's parents did not come back. Suddenly, they began to hear something really loud. ¨Bang, Bang, Bang¨. They heard that which seemed to come from something hitting the top of the car. Then, the sound became louder and louder every time. ¨BANG, BANG, BANG¨. The terrified children could no longer resist. They opened the door and ran in a hurry. Only the eldest of the children dared to turn his head to see what caused the loud noise. He should have not done it though, there was a large and scary man on top of the car, who hit the top of the vehicle with something on his hands, they were the heads of his parents! The children began to run even faster and the large man began to run towards them. The children ran into the forest and so did the large man. After that day no one ever saw those children ever again, and who knows, they may appear mysteriously next to you.

What would happen if we didn't have a moon?

Answers

Answer:

The moon affects the angle of the Earth's tilt. ... The moon influences life as we know it on Earth. It influences our oceans, weather, and the hours in our days. Without the moon, tides would fall, nights would be darker, seasons would change, and the length of our days would alter.

Explanation:

Answer:

Simply said: Night would be a lot darker

Explanation:

The moon is responsible for a lot of things, but two that it's most well-known for is the pull is performs on the earth and lighting the sky at night. The moon reflects light from the sun, allowing us to see better at night, without assistance from outside sources- so simply said, it would be a lot harder to see. Also, the moon pulls the earth towards it, which causes more stability for the planet. A side effect of this are tidal waves.

Which theory directly
contradicts the concept of
absolute zero?
A. Gravitational Theory
B. Kinetic Theory
C. Matter Theory

Answers

Kinetic energy because it can create heat which goes against the absolute zero.

A sample of matter experiences a decrease in average kinetic energy as it continues to cool. One would anticipate that the particles will eventually come to a complete stop. The temperature at which particles should theoretically stop moving is absolute zero. Thus, option B is correct.

What theory directly contradicts concept of absolute zero?

All molecules are predicted to have zero kinetic energy and, as a result, no molecular motion at absolute zero (273.15°C). Zero is a hypothetical value (it has never been reached).

Absolute zero signifies that there is no kinetic energy involved in random motion. A substance's atoms don't move relative to one another.

Therefore, Kinetic energy because it can create heat which goes against the absolute zero. A gas molecule's kinetic energy tends to zero when the temperature reaches absolute zero.

Answers

Answer:

Greatly affected.

Explanation:

This closing of nuclear power stations greatly affect the future balance of sources of energy used for electricity production in the UK because the burden of production comes on other sources such as production of electricity from fossil fuels, wind and solar radiation etc. If electricity is produced from fossil fuels so it leads to pollution of the environment whereas if the electricity is produced from wind and solar radiation, it is very costly but good for the environment.
