Which measure of an earthquake depends on how close you re to the focus?

Answers

Answer 1
The answer is magnitude. Magnitude of an earthquake is measured by Ritcher scale. The closer to the epicentre the higher the magnitude of an earthquake in Ritcher scale. As the energy of the quake dissipates further from the epicentre, it's magnitude on the Ritcher scale reduces.
Ritcher scale is a log 10 logarithmic scale.

Prior to the invention of refrigeration, meat was often preserved by soaking it in brine (a solution of water with a high concentration of salt) to kill any microorganisms that might have tried to use the meat as their own food source. Which of the following BEST explains how a brine solution could be lethal to those microorganisms? Water would move into the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis causing it to swell and burst. The salt would move into the cells of the microorganisms by facilitated diffusion causing the membrane to become rigid and less permeable. The salt would be pulled from the cells of the microorganisms by active transport removing necessary nutrients and destroying the cells. Water would move out of the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis and the cytoplasm would become dehydrated, killing the cells.

Answers

Water would move out of the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis and the cytoplasm would become dehydrated, killing the cells.
The brine is a hypertonic solution, thereby "pulling" the water out of the bacterial cells.

The method of heat transfer by which the sun warms the earth is
A.conduction
B. Convection
C. Radiation

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Because between the earth and sun is empty space (vacuum) transfer of heat from the sun to earth can only occur through radiation-  because convection and conduction require a medium.

(B)partnerships with LEED and other government organizations
(C)sustainable materials that can be used for any design process
(D)guidelines to simplify the certification process for sustainable building and construction

Answers

Hey there budd!

Your question is stated above: Which option describes what the U.S. Green Building Council has created?

Based from my information, I know for a fact the the answer would NOT be option D. The government would not to simplify the certification process for sustainable building and construction because they want (high) quality people working for them, not people who have low certificates to work for the government.

I (seriously) believe that the correct answer to this question would actually be the first option. (A) Government control over all engineering design materials. So, this would show you that the U.S. Green Building Council has created a government to watch over and control everything that is being designed.

I hope this helps you!

Parents with traditional gender schemas are especially likely to raise children who show signs of

Answers

Parents with traditional gender schemas are especially likely to raise children who show signs of gender-typing. The term gender-typing defines the acquisition of a traditional masculine or feminine role. Example is a boy who consistently exhibits traditionally masculine interests and behavior patterns.

Final answer:

Children of parents with traditional gender schemas often demonstrate gender stereotyping, shaped by observed roles and societal influences. This stereotyping is anchored in gender schema theory, where children's experiences influence their understanding of gender roles, with less stereotyping occurring in more inclusive environments.

Explanation:

Parents with traditional gender schemas are especially likely to raise children who show signs of gender stereotyping. Gender schema theory suggests that children actively categorize and learn behaviors, activities, and attributes into gender-specific schemas. These schemas are observations of gender-related information and roles demonstrated by parents and society, such as distinct chores or expectations for boys and girls.

Research indicates that when fathers tend to be firmer with expectations for gender conformity, particularly with sons, the children may adhere more rigidly to traditional gender roles. This can result in boys becoming especially sensitive to their father's disapproval of engaging in activities perceived as feminine. Similarly, societal influences, including race and ethnicity, can further mold these gender schemas, with African American families more likely to model an egalitarian role structure than Caucasian families.

Children whose experiences are less confined by traditional gender roles tend to have a broader understanding of what activities are gender appropriate, allowing them to engage less in gender stereotyping. Thus, allowing a child to explore different toys and roles, regardless of gender, can promote a more inclusive understanding of gender roles.

A greenish area around a bacterial colony growing on blood agar indicates _______________.

Answers

The answer is alpha hemolysis. The other types of hemolysis are beta and gamma hemolysis. While beta hemolysis leaves a clear zone in the area around the bacterial growth, gamma hemolysis indicates that there is a lack of hemolysis and thus the agar is unchanged in the vicinity of a bacterial colony.
A greenish area around a bacterial colony growth on blood agar indicates an alpha-hemolysis.
Blood agar is an enriched, bacterial growth medium, that encourages the growth of bacteria, such as streptococci, that otherwise wouldn't grow on an ordinary growth media. Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells. The medium is used to detect bacteria that produce enzymes to break apart the blood cells. When alpha hemolysis is present, the agar under the colony is dark and greenish.

Why is isopropyl alcohol a better mobile phase than h2o for permanent markers?

Answers

Rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol is used because it dissolves the dye better than water. The ink from a permanent marker is insoluble in water because of its components such as pyrrolidone, glyceride, and colorant. These ingredients make permanent ink waterproof because they make are nonpolar whereas water is polar. As a rule of thumb, only like materials can combine.

How does the structure of a gram negative organism contribute to its virulence?

Answers

The lipopolysaccharide constituent acts as a pathogenicity in animals, causing disease. More virulence factors can be found in the periplasmic space between the outer and plasma membranes.

What is virulence?

The ability of a pathogen or microorganism to cause harm to a host is referred to as virulence. The degree of damage caused by a microbe to its host is referred to as virulence in most, particularly animal systems.

Toxins are among the most important bacterial virulence factors. Endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is found in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, as well as several other exotoxins and enterotoxins secreted by other bacteria.

Lipopolysaccharides, proteins, and phospholipids are found in Gram-negative bacteria's outer membrane.

In animals, the lipopolysaccharide constituent acts as a pathogen, causing disease. The periplasmic space between the outer and plasma membranes contains more virulence factors.

Thus, this way, the structure of a gram negative organism contribute to its virulence.

Final answer:

Gram-negative organisms have a complex cell structure, with a thinner layer of peptidoglycan and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The LPS acts as an endotoxin and contributes to the virulence of these bacteria. Other virulence factors help gram-negative organisms evade the immune system and cause infections.

Explanation:

Gram-negative organisms have a more complex cell structure compared to gram-positive organisms. They have a thinner layer of peptidoglycan and an outer membrane that contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which acts as an endotoxin. This LPS contributes to the virulence of gram-negative bacteria by causing symptoms such as fever, hemorrhaging, and septic shock. Additionally, gram-negative organisms have other virulence factors like pili, capsules, and stress proteins that help them evade the immune system and cause infections.
