Answer: False

Explanation:

The axis of rotation of earth is not parallel to its orbit. It is slightly tilted. It moves or rotates in the eastward side in a prograde motion.

When the earth is viewed from the north pole star Polaris then it turns Counterclockwise.

It rotates in 24 hours with respect to the sun but with respect to other planets it is a bit less. The rotation of the earth is slowing with time which states that the modern days are longer 1,7 milliseconds per century.

Answer:

This is a false statement. So it is F

Explanation: The axis of the earth is an imaginary line. It makes an angle 66 1/2 degree with its orbital plane. So the earth is tilting with orbital plane, not in parallel position. The plane formed by the orbit is known as the orbital plane. Due to this tilting position the poles have 6 months day and 6 months night.

Which factor is least likely to affect the results and interpretation of a functional MRI?
sergij07 [2.7K]
Prescription medication is the least likely to affect the results and interpretation of a functional MRI.

Here are some of the factors that is most likely to affect the results of MRI :

- Caffeinated soda. Caffeinated soda tend to constrict the blood vessels in the brain, which will affect MRI results.
- cancerous growth, will create a huge shadow on MRI results
- sprained ankle, especially if it was fixed with metal bandage, will cause harm during MRI

A cell is in a equilibrium with its surrounding at 30 degrees Celsius. The molarity of surrounding sucrose solution is 0.5m. Cal
Travka [436]

Solute potential of a solution is calculated using the formula,

Ψ_{s}=-(iCRT)

Where,

Ψ_{s}is the solute potential of the solution,

<em>i</em> is the degree to which the solute ionizes(ionization constant) in solution = 1, as sucrose is a nonelectrolyte.

C is the concentration of the solution in molarity = 0.5 M

R is the gas constant or the pressure constant = 0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K)

T is the temperature in Kelvin scale = 30^{0}+273 =303 K

Calculating the solute potential of the surrounding sucrose solution:

Ψ_{s}=-(iCRT)

              = -(1 * 0.5 M * (0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K))* 303 K)

              = 12.6 bar

Therefore, the solute potential of the surrounding solution is 12.6 bar
