why don't dog's sweat​

Answers

Answer:

Dogs do sweat. Sweating is a physiological response to heat where sweat glands secrete salty water. ... The problem is that most dogs are covered with a thick coat of fur, so sweat secreted where there is fur would get trapped in the fur, fail to evaporate, and therefore fail to cool the dog down much.

:

Explanation:

They do sweat. but that is absorbed by the fur of dog.

This requires you to use all the things we have learned in this chapter. 1.55 grams of Carbon disulfide
is added to 2.83 grams of Oxygen to form Carbon dioxide and Sulfur dioxide. If the reaction yields
1.1 grams of the Sulfur dioxide what was the percent yield?
27%
14%
Ο Ο Ο Ο Ο
74%
42%
O 63%

Answers

Answer: The percent yield is, 42%

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of carbon disulphide}=\frac{1.55g}{76g/mol}=0.020moles[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of oxygen}=\frac{2.83g}{32g/mol}=0.088moles[/tex]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

[tex]CS_2+3O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2+2SO_2[/tex]

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of [tex]CS_2[/tex] require = 3 moles of [tex]O_2[/tex]

Thus 0.020 moles of [tex]CS_2[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{3}{1}\times 0.020=0.060moles[/tex]  of [tex]O_2[/tex]

Thus [tex]CS_2[/tex] is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and [tex]O_2[/tex] is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of [tex]CS_2[/tex] give = 2 moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex]

Thus 0.020 moles of [tex]CS_2[/tex] give =[tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 0.020=0.040moles[/tex]  of [tex]SO_2[/tex]

Theoretical mass of [tex]SO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.040moles\times 64g/mol=2.56g[/tex]

Actual mass of [tex]SO_2[/tex] = 1.1 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield

[tex]\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield }}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100=\frac{1.1g}{2.56g}\times 100=42\%[/tex]

Therefore, the percent yield is, 42%

Since Jerry's accident, he has had no sensations in his injured leg. Based on the functional classifications of neurons, what type of neuron suffered damage

Answers

Answer:

Sensory neuron

Explanation:

There are the major classifications to neurons - sensory, motor and inter relay.

All these neurons helps in the relay of signals from the environment to the CNS where these signals are interrupted and actions are Carrie out. The sensory neurons begins this order and help in the relay of sensation from external stimuli.

Thus since Jerry has no sensations in his injured legs, it means he is unable to detect or feel external stimuli/or there is a damage to the sensory neurons in the region of his legs which prevents the relay of information to the CNS.

the diagram below shows a sarcomere if a disorder makes it impossible for atp to bind to the myosin head what would happen to the sarcomere?

Answers

Answer:

B. The myosin and actin would not separate, and the sarcomere would remain contracted

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) acts both in the binding of myosin to actin, which occurs during muscle contraction, and also in its separation, which occurs during muscle relaxation.

When ATP is lacking, myosin remains attached to actin, causing muscle stiffness. This is what happens after death, producing a state of cadaverous rigidity (also called "rigor mortis").

An intense and uninterrupted stimulation causes the muscle to reach the maximum degree of contraction. Then, the muscle remains in contraction, this state is called tetany.

A very prolonged state of tetany causes muscle fatigue,  in which, due to ATP deficiency, can cause a loss of muscle contraction capacity, after its relaxation.

In which kind of solution is the concentration of solutes the same inside and outside of the cell? isotonic hypertonic hypotonic concentrated

Answers

Answer:

isotonic solution

Explanation:

An isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell. For example, a cell with the same concentration of salt inside it as in the surrounding water/fluid would be said to be in an isotonic solution.

The solutions can have various concentrations of the solutes dissolved in them. Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell. Thus, option a is correct.

What are isotonic solutions?

Isotonic is the type of solution that has a similar concentration of the solutes on both sides of the system like sugar and salt in the blood or body fluid. They are the essential part of the body fluid and for the balance of osmosis and diffusion.

The tonicity of the solution plays an important role in the transport mechanism and in the balance of the fluid concentration in the organism. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration is at higher levels and in hypotonic, they have fewer concentrations.

Therefore, the concentration of solutes is the same in and out of the cell in isotonic conditions.

During the process of mountain building, earthquakes sometimes occur along continental-continental converge
boundaries. Which statement best describes the motion of the plates along these boundaries that causes the
earthquakes?

Answers

Answer:

The main cause of earthquake is the motion of tectonic plates which occurs due to friction.

Explanation:

The tectonic plates moves slowly inside the earth crust but the edges of these plates stuck with each other due to friction that occurs during their contact. When these two plates detached from each other, the force of friction converts in a form of wave energy which can be observed in the form of earthquake. Divergent, convergent, and transform are the three types of plate boundaries which are responsible for earthquake.

Identify the statements that accurately describe how hydrogen ion concentration relates to energy production in oxidative phosphorylation. The pH in the intermembrane space is higher than the pH in the mitochondrial matrix. Oxidative phosphorylation relies on the hydrogen ion concentration gradient generated and maintained by the electron transport chain. Hydrogen ions are actively transported out of the mitochondrial matrix. Hydrogen ion concentration is higher in the intermembrane space than in the mitochondrial matrix. Energy is generated as a result of the difference in hydrogen ion concentration between the mitochondrial matrix and the cytoplasm.

The technological components are: research, natural resources and specialized labor.

These components will be used in issues such as the demand for food, the optimization of natural resources and the control of climate change.

Explanation:

One thing we can say about our future: We will be very dependent on the work of industrial technology. This is because it will be able to use microorganisms, natural resources and biological molecules to develop products capable of meeting some of our needs.

However, with the advance of climatic changes, the demand for food increasingly and the destruction of natural resources in a constant way, we can say that biotechnology will face several challenges and to overcome them need to have technological components such as the establishment of research through of a qualified and specialized workforce that promotes the optimization of natural resources and their products.

"While bird watching, Carl hypothesized he could identify 73 different types of birds in one day. He actually identified 65 different types of birds. What was his percent error

Answers

Answer:

15.87%

Explanation:

Carl's percentage error would be 15.87%.

From the data, the hypothesized number of birds Carl could identify is 73.

The actual number of birds he was able to identify is 63.

The margin of error between the two = 73 - 63 = 10.

Hence, percentage error = error/true measurement x 100%

               = 10/63 x 100% = 15.87%

This element is a gas that is found in both nucleic acids and in amino acids, important building blocks of life. What is it? A. Nitrogen B. Sulfur C. Oxygen D. Carbon My answer is: A) Nitrogen

Answers

Answer:

Yes, your answer, nitrogen, is correct (the most appropriate option). However, oxygen is also a correct option.

Explanation:

Nitrogen exists on its own as a diatomic gas. However, it exists as organic nitrogen in nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA (as part of their nitrogenous bases) and in the amino (--[tex]NH_{2}[/tex]) group of amino acids.

Do note that a case can also be made for oxygen as a right option: like nitrogen, it exists as a diatomic gas and can be found in both nucleic acids and in the carboxylic group of amino acids.

Sulfur is not an appropriate option as nitrogenous bases (and nucleic acids) to the best of my knowledge do not contain sulphur although some amino acids like cysteine do.

Carbon is not also an appropriate option because elemental carbon does not exist in gaseous form even though it can be found in both nucleic acids and amino acids.
