His space station has plants growing inside it, and astronauts who eat the fruits and vegetables from those plants. Because it i

s in space, the station is sealed so no material can get in or out. The space station is in Earth’s shadow, so no light is getting into it. The sensors in the space station show that carbon dioxide in the air is increasing.What is happening to the energy storage molecules in the plants and humans in the space station? Explain your answer as completely as possible.

Answer:

Photosynthesis is not taking place and carbon dioxide is not being processed.

Explanation:

The process by which plants make glucose (carbohydrates = energy stores) from carbon dioxide and water is called photosynthesis and uses sunlight energy. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen.So plants use water and sunlight to grow and they produce oxygen. Animals on the other hand eat plants, use oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.

Since the space station is in the shadow of the earth, the plants are unable to complete the process of photosynthesis and the carbon dioxide that is being produced by the humans cannot be utilized by the plants due to no sunlight. There for the carbon dioxide is going to continue to build up as the energy storage molecules are being depleted and not replenished.

A constant used in an equation for gravity is 0.0000000000667. What is theis represented as a number in proper scientific notati
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is - C) 667 x 10-13.

The constant that is used in the equation for gravity, or rather gravitational pull, is 0.0000000000667. This same number, in proper scientific notation goes in the shape of 667 x 10-13.

The reason for that is very simple. Any number multiplied with 10-13 will give the exact same number, but as the last part of 13 decimal number. The -13 part dictates the number of decimals. So in the case of 0.0000000000667, the last part 667 is the number that is multiplied, but because the multiplying is in minus, the number goes on the back of the number. Since it has three numbers in it, ten zeros are added in front of it, in order to get the 13 decimals.

The isotope silicon-32 decays into phosphorus-32. Silicon-32 has a half-life of 170 years and can be used to find the age of roc
Vsevolod [243]
The correct answers are B & C. Silicon-32 is the parent isotope, which decays into phosphorus-32 (daughter isotope). The silicon-32 amount is halved every 170 years, so we can use this to determine how old the rock is. The amount of phosphorus-32 increases over time, but it is not equal to the amount of silicon-32.
