HELP PLEASE!!!!!! The bar-tailed godwit is a type of shorebird that makes an annual migration from Alaska to New Zealand and back. The birds make each 11,500-kilometer (7,145-mile) trip by flying over the Pacific Ocean in about nine days, depending on weather, wind speed, and direction of travel. One bird was observed to make the entire journey uninterrupted, a feat that is comparable to a human running a nonstop seven-day marathon at 70 kilometers per hour (43.5 miles per hour). Would you expect the flight (breast) muscles of bar-tailed godwits to use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

They probably use aerobic respiration.

Explanation:

A travel distance of 11.500 kilometers in 9 days covered by flying surely requires a lot of energy.

  • If cells are fermenting, the ATP (energy) they generate only comes from glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP molecules.

  • If they are using aerobic respiration, glucose is completely oxidized to CO₂ through glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle, and the electrons enter the electron transport chain to finally reduce oxygen into water. In the complete process, up to 36 ATP molecules are produced.

In sum, aerobic respiration is much more efficient to generate energy than fermentation, so it's probably the main metabolism of the flight muscles in bar-tailed godwits.

Why does nodding of the head signify Yes and shaking of the head No?

Answers

Children pick up on everything around them in their life, weather you like them to or not. one the fist acts of shaking you head came from children. when they would be they would turn there head to signify something they did not want. children would also see you moving your head up and down when you do something good, or when someone is happy. this would signify something was good. they would express there emotions by these gestures. Charles Darwin wrote a book on this.

What kind of relationship would a hummingbird an a daffodil have?

Answers

The answer to the question of "what kind of relationship would a hummingbird an a daffodil have?" is that they have a mutually beneficial relationship, also called a mutualistic relationship - the hummingbird gets food from the flower and the flower can "use" the bird for polination, so they both benefit from each other's behaviour

Greek philosophers such as Democritus and Aristotle had ideas about the composition of matter. For example, Democritus believed matter was made of tiny, solid spheres that he called atomos, and Aristotle thought matter was made of earth, water, fire, and air. Aristotle's idea of matter was the accepted idea for over 2,000 years until John Dalton came up with a new theory about matter based on his experimental data. Which of the following best explains why Dalton’s theory became more widely-accepted over Aristotle's theory?Aristotle’s theory did not have enough direct evidence due to poor observational tools.


Dalton’s theory had repeated observations which were supported by extensive evidence.


Dalton’s theory was more complete because more respected scientists found the ideas possible.


Aristotle’s theory became the law of conservation of mass when he documented phase changes of matter.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer based on what you provided would be B, or the second answer.

Explanation:

There is evidence in the text to support the answer, and people tend to believe conclusive results over just believing in something, and Dalton's theory was based on results.

The second one daltons theory was based on experimenting

If a plant grows 1/2 inch in 3/7 of a week, at rate is the plant growing? show your work

Answers


Assuming you want the rate per one week.

1/2 ÷ 3/7 = x / 1

(1/2)(7/3) = x

7/6 = x

1 1/6 = x

The plant grows one and one-sixth inches in a week.
