How do you explain the formula for photosynthesis in words?

carbon dioxide + water + light energy → glucose + oxygen


How do you convert inch of water column to volume?

16.387 cc is equal to one cubic inch of water or anything else.


Can you please explain the conditions necessary for photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis requires 4 things: light, water, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll. Plants growing on land get water from soil (aquatic plants get it directly from the water in which they live), carbon dioxide from air, light from the sun, and chlorophyll is something that they produce for their own use (they need to have some magnesium compounds in the soil).


Can you explain how a rainbow occurs?

Once there are water particles in the atmosphere you begin to see a Rainbow when sunlight passes through those particles of water. This happens because light traverses at different speeds/velocities through the air (and water). You can see the different colours because the light is dispersed and refracted once the light is inside the water particle. The light is then reflected of the back of the water particle and is refracted once more. When the photon leaves the water particle refraction occurs and the light is split into angles inside the particle ergo making it visible. The colour also depends on the wavelength of light. And you must be 42 degrees off the axis of the sunlight to be able to see a Rainbow properly/at all.


What is 30 inches water column in millimeters mercury?

The density of mercury is 13.534, compared to '1' for water. So the water columnis 13.534 times as high as the mercury column at the same pressure.(30 inches of water) x (25.4 millimeters/inch) / 13.534 = 56.3 millimeters of mercury

What is meant by the terms acoustic impedance and attenuation?

Acoustic impedance is the measurement that indicates how much sound pressure the vibration of molecules at a given frequency is generated. Attenuation refers to the gradual loss in intensity through a medium, such as light and sound in water.


How does water affect the travel of radio frequency?

Water affects the travel of radio frequency in terms of attenuation. For example, sea water has high attenuation, causing communication hardly possible.


Explain how small insects can walk on water?

Because of their light weight.


What does the water light coming on in a 2000 Honda cr-v mean?

Don't know what the questioner is asking. What is the "water light?" Where is it located? Please explain and re-submit the question.


Why is it important to explain the speed of light together with the medium in which the light travels?

The speed of light is dependent on the medium it travels through. Light travels fastest in a vacuum than in water or air.


What is the home of plankton in a coral reef?

Most species classified as zooplankton (tiny animals) live in the water column or in the porous rocky substrate of the reef. Phytoplankton (tiny plants and microscopic algae) tend to live only in the water column where light is abundant.


What is 0.5 psig in inches of water column?

0.5 psig = 420.62 inches of water column.


Is the light travels SLOWER in air than water is the best explanation why the pencil appears broken at the boundary air and water?

Yoiu can explain that observation with the difference of the speed of light in air and in water. But in fact, the speed is FASTER in air and SLOWER in water.


One column of water has twice the diameter as another column of water. If the pressure is the same at the bottom of each column. How do the heights of the two columns compare?

The column with the smallest diameter has greater pressure and the column with a larger diameter has less pressure.


Head pressure of water?

Head pressure is created by a column (depth) of water in a container. Pipe is considered a container. Diameter is not a factor. The higher the column of water, the more psi it creates. Multiply column height of water by .434 to get psi of water.


How many inches of water column in one quarter psi?
