Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C. 5.45 × 10^3 kg

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a way of writing large or small numbers in a decimal form also called exponential form i.e. expressed in terms of power of tens.

This simple method can ve followed when converting a number to scientific notation. We say; a × 10^x

a is the decimal number expressed in the power of tens

x is power of ten

According to the question, a male African elephant weighs 5450 kg.

To convert 5450 to scientific notation, we first of all move the decimal points to the left until we have only one number leftward

N.B: the decision point in any whole number is in front of the last number going rightwards.

We have, 5450 = 5.450

Next, we count how many times the decimal point was moved leftwards. In this case, it was moved three (3) times. Hence, the power of ten (x) is 3.

Because we moved leftwards, the power of ten will be a positive number. We have;

5.450 × 10^3 kg.

One of the ways that plant systems and tissues work together is in the transport of materials such as water, called transpiration. In transpiration, water is taken into the plant and then evaporates out of the leaves. First, water is taken in through pores in the dermal tissue of the roots and brought to the xylem of the vascular tissue. The vascular tissue then transports it up through the stem and into the leaves. Once in the parenchyma cells of the ground tissue of the leaves, photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur, using that water. The water is then released through guard cells of the dermal tissue into the atmosphere. Which of the following tissues and systems were involved in transpiration? Check all that apply. roots stem leaves dermal tissue vascular tissue ground tissue

What is a organelle

Answers

An organelle is a functional subunit enclosed by a membrane within a eukaryotic cell. The name "organelle" means little organ and the name comes from the analogy with organs: what an organ is to a body, an organelle is to a cell. So, the organelle is the organ of the cell. There are different types of organelles in cells, such as nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplasts, vacuoles, and they all have a different function. For example, the nucleus is the organelle which main function is control of cell activities. Mitochondria are organelles which main function is energy production.

Explain why some scientific theories are changed over time​

Answers

Answer:

A common misconception is that scientific theories are rudimentary ideas that will eventually graduate into scientific laws when enough data and evidence have been accumulated. A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence.

How does the respiratory system interact with the circulatory system?A)The respiratory system transports oxygen and other nutrients to the heart for the circulatory system.

B)The respiratory system brings in carbon dioxide so the circulatory system can transport it throughout the body.

C)The circulatory system transports nutrients and oxygen brought in by the respiratory system throughout the body.

D)The circulatory system removes oxygen and other nutrients from the body to make room for carbon dioxide in the respiratory system.

Answers

C. Oxygen and nutrients taken in by the respiratory system are transported to the circulatory system for transport around the entire body.
Also, B and D cannot be correct, as carbon dioxide is not wanted in the body (it's a waste product of respiration of the body cells)
