Answer:

c. 10°C

Explanation:

Given that: A slice of pizza has 500 kcal.

That is to say Q = 500kcal

If the pizza was burned and all the heat were used to warm a 50-L container of cold water,

what  would be the approximate increase in the temperature of the water?

We were also being told to note that; A liter of cold water weighs about 1 kg.

i.e 50-L container weighs about 50kg (mass)

∴ Since;

Q= 500kcal,

m = 50kg; &

the specific heact (c) = 1

we can find the approximate increase in the temperature of the water by using the formula:

Q = mcΔT

ΔT = \frac{Q}{mc}

ΔT = \frac{500}{50*1}

ΔT = 10°C

Assuming that you had an agonist and an antagonist for every autonomic transmitter receptor, how could you determine which recep
dsp73

The correct answer is by using the antagonist.

The antagonist is a molecule that blocks a biological response by binding to the receptor. So, you add antagonists to the receptors you want to determine and see which antagonist blocked the response. By blocking the specific response you can get the answer what receptor it was.

A botanist wants to see how different colored light waves influence the growth of pea plants. She puts the same number of seeds
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The amount of light they receive.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the part of the experiment that the experimenter changes. In this experiment, the only thing that's different for each of the plants is the amount of light they receive. Everything else is the same - the same amount of soil, same amount of water, same pots, and so on.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited via a single gene with four different alleles.
tino4ka555 [31]
The answer is D) 1/2.

If each allele confers a unit of color darkness, then only genotypes S2S3 and S1S4 will have 5 units of color darkness because in genotype S2S3 S2 will have 2 units, and S3 will have 3 units, which is 5 units in total. The similar math is for <span>genotypes S1S4.
</span>
Now, let's cross S1S3 and S2S4:
Parents:          S1S3      x     S2S4
Offspring:  S1S2    S1S4     S2S3     S3S4

The offspring with genotype S1S2 will have 3 units of color darkness. The offspring with genotype S1S4 will have 5 units, as well as the offspring with genotype S2S3. The <span>offspring with genotype S3S4 will have 7 units.
It can be assumed that only 2 genotypes out of 4 will have 5 units:
2/4 = 1/2.</span>

A cell biologist carefully measured the quantity of DNA in grasshopper cells growing in cell culture. Cells examined during the
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

100 units

Explanation:

The interphase of the cell cycle includes three stages: G1, S, and G2. During the S phase of interphase, the cell enters the process of DNA replication. DNA replication duplicates the existing DNA molecule and doubles the DNA content of the cell. The cell accommodates the newly formed DNA in two sister chromatids of chromosomes. If a cell of grasshopper contained 200 units of DNA in the G2 phase, the cell would have 100 units of DNA in the G1 phase. The S phase would have doubled the DNA content and the G2 phase had 200 units.
