Five friends looked at a piece of aluminum foil. They wondered what they would see if they could see inside an atom of aluminum.

This is what they said: Jeb: I think it would look like a tiny, dense ball with tiny particles tightly packed inside it. Jane: I think there would be a tiny, dense center surrounded by a lot of empty space where some particles are whizzing around. Hal: I think there would be a large center made up mostly of empty space wit particles whizzing around in it. It would be surrounded by a dense shell. Pick the friend that you agree with and explain why you agree. Be sure to include the friends' name and factual information to back up your explanation. Attachments

The answer is; Jane would be right.

The atom was discovered be more of empty space. The mass of an atom is mainly attributed to the mass of the nucleus which occupies a very small fraction of the size of the atom. The nucleus is Located in the center surrounded by orbiting electrons.  

The Geiger–Marsden experiment, where alpha particles are accelerated onto a thin aluminum foil proved this theory by Ernest Rutherford. Some of the particles were deflected by the foil and this was attributed to the dense nucleus of the aluminum atoms in the foil. The other particles passed through because most of the atoms are made of empty space.

The conversation between madame valmonde and desiree gives an example of Foreshadowing; situational irony;
Considering this Quote;
Madame Valmonde "shuddered at the first sight of it.....It was a sad lokking place.......The roof came down steep and black like a cowl, reaching out beyond the wide galleries that encircled the yellow stuccoed house. Big, solemn oaks grew close to it, and their thick-leaved, far-reaching branches shadowed it like a pall."

The imagery in this quote reveals the darkness of a place that is ironically called a shelter, and Madame Valmonde mentions the "pall" that is cast over the house , that being a term related to death.

Living cells require constant access to energy in order to remain alive. Which statement BEST describes why cells need a constan
docker41 [41]

Answer:

D) Energy is required in order to maintain homeostasis--without a constant, organized internal state, the cell will die.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the condition of relative stability that the body needs to perform its functions properly for the body's balance.

Despite changes that may occur in the body, internally or externally, homeostasis is the constancy of the internal environment (interstitial fluid). Keeping at an appropriate temperature (37º C) ensuring that the necessary changes to the body occur; and thus the cells of the body develop.

Because of homeostasis, cells need a constant supply of energy. That's because energy is needed to maintain homeostasis - without a constant, organized internal state, the cell will die.

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.
