When we look at stars, we notice that some appear brighter than others. Sirius looks much brighter than Rigel, but is it really brighter Or is Sirius much closer to Earth, giving it the appearance of being brighter
Actually, Sirius is about one hundred times closer to Earth than Rigel. If the two stars were the same distance from Earth, Rigel would appear much brighter.
We use two terms to reference the brightness of a star: absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude. Absolute magnitude is the measure of the light given off by a star, while apparent magnitude refers to the amount of light received on Earth.
The color of a star indicates its temperature. Blue-white stars are very hot, while orange-red stars relatively cool. In the year of 1900's Ejnar hertzsprung and Henry Russell noticed that that the higher temperature of a star, the greater's the star absolute magnitude. They developed a graph that that depicts this relationship called H-R diagram.
Most knows stars fit into a diagonal band that runs form the upper left to the lower right of the diagram. This diagonal band is called the main sequence. About 90% of all stars are makn sequence stars.
Most stars are currently classified using the letters O,B,A,F,G,K and M, where O stars are the hottest and letter sequence indicates successively cooler stars down to the coolest M class.
Betelgeuse is the red spectral class. It is one of the largest of stars with extremely high luminosity although it has a relatively low surface temperature. Betelgeuse can be classified as supergiant. Thus option b is correct.

1. A. What is diffusion?
1. B. Use diffusion to
explain what happens when you drop a
sugar cube into a mug of hot tea.
2. A. What is osmosis?
2. B. Describe how water molecules
move through the cell membrane during
osmosis.
Answer:
Diffusion is the spreading of something more widely. When you drop a sugar cube in hot tea the sugar cube spreads out and the sugar starts to dissolve in the tea. Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. If the concentration of water molecules ouside the cell is lower than the concentration of water molecules outside the cell then the water moves out through osmosis. Water travels through the cell membrane.
Which of the following is always true of two organisms in
the same taxonomic class?
A.They can breed with one another
B.They have certain physical features in common
C.they evolved at the same time
D.they live in the same ecosystem
Answer:
they can breed with one another, they have certain physical features in common, they evolved at the same rate, they live in the same ecosystem. Lions and house cats share common features, but cannot breed with one another.
Explanation:
They share a common ecology, they may breed with one another, share some physical characteristics, evolve at the same rate, and inhabit the same ecosystem, hence option D is correct.
What are the taxonomic classes?If two species are members of the same class, they are also members of the same higher-level taxon. They share the same phylum and kingdom in this instance.
Kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus, and species are the seven main taxonomic ranks.
The taxon with the greatest number of species is the kingdom. In taxonomy, it is the broadest category into which the creatures can be divided.
The classification of five kingdoms was made by R.H. Whittaker. The kingdoms of Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia are included in this classification.
Therefore, option D is correct.

What is currently happening with Mount Etna?
Answer:
As Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) explains on a recent blog post, the nascent eruption began on the night of May 29. Starting off by producing a thick column of ash rising from the New Southeast Crater, it gave way on May 30 to a far more lava-heavy display in the area, featuring two fissures blenching out lava.
Answer:
There is currently no eruptive activity at the volcano involving fresh lava and monitoring signals do not suggest an immediate change likely; only a weak thermal anomaly continues to be present from the southeast crater complex.

Explain why the forest ecosystem is a system.
Answer:
Like all ecosystems, forests consist of many interacting parts. They include living organisms such as plants, animals, and fungi. Forests also include non-living components that these organisms depend on, such as the soil and climate. As stated in the article, one change, such as pollution, can cause a ripple effect through the ecosystem. Dying lichens are one of the earliest signs of pollution. In turn, the loss of the lichens can cause a decline in species that rely on the lichens for survival.

In what ways did Charles Lyell impact Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution? What type of relationship did Darwin have with Charles Lyell? How did Darwin learn about Charles Lyell's ideas?
Answer:
They both believed that continuous and gradual change is law of nature
Explanation:
Charles Lyell's “Principles of Geology “ encouraged Charles Darwin to think of evolution of living organisms as a slow process just like the slow geological processes taking place since millions of years. As per Charles, the slow and little contribution of continuous geological events shaped the present geological attributes of the earth. Likewise Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution also earmarked accumulated effects of small gradual changes over immense spans of time. They both believed that continuous and gradual change is law of nature.

Water will move into the cell, causing it to shrink.
Water will move into the cell, causing it to swell.
Water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink.
Answer:
Water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink.
Explanation:
When something with a low salt concentration is placed in a higher concentration of salt, the salt in the solution will try to suck out the water in the cell. Just remember why we hate salt, because it sucks! There's a little joke to help u remember. Thanks, Ms. Hoj :)
Answer:
CORRECT (SELECTED)
Water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink.
Explanation:
The cell has lower concentration of solute and a higher concentration of water than the solution it is placed in. This means that water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink.
As water passes into the guard cells, the pore opens. explain why.
Answer:One of the most important functions of guard cells is to control the closing and opening of the stoma/pores. While the opening of these pores allows water to be released into the environment, it also allows carbon dioxide to enter the cell for photosynthesis (as well as the release of oxygen into the environment).
Explanation:
Answer: guard cells are a pair of cells that surround each of the stoma openings. to open the cells, they have to be triggered by one of many possible environmental or chemical signals. these can include more sunlight or higher than normal levels of carbon dioxide within the cell.

During mitosis, the original cell produces two daughter cells. How many daughter cells will be produced if 250 mouse cells undergo mitosis?
Answer:
There would be 500 daughter cells if 200 mouse cells went through the process of mitosis. (If that's what your asking)
Explanation:
During mitosis, the organism (which would be an asexual producer) doubles the amount of chromosomes and they divides the doubled number by two. So the organism will always end up with two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as itself. (That is the way with asexual producer's-their offspring is always an exact replica of the first). Now, if you take one mouse, it would end up with 2 daughter cells. If 250 mice reproduce, each with two daughter cells, then there would be 500 daughter cells in total, because you would multiply 2 by 250.
The number of daughter cells that will be produced is; 500 daughter cells
Mitosis is a process of cell replacement or cell growth whereby a cell divides into two exact daughter cells containing the same number of chromosomes each as the number of chromosomes contained in the parent cell.
Given that the original cell produces two daughter cells, when 250 mouse cell undergoes this process we will have
250 * 2 = 500 daughter cells.
Hence we can conclude that the number of daughter cells that will be produced is 500 daughter cells
