How is mitochondria like a hydraulic dam?
Mitochondria are like a hydraulic dam because both store and produce energy. Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy molecules called ATP, which is essential for cell function. Similarly, a hydraulic dam converts the potential energy of water into kinetic energy, which is used to generate electricity.
What is hydraulic height as it relates to a dam?
The pressure that water exerts on the walls of the dam is proportional to the depth of the water or you might say the height of the column of water from the base of the dam. The hydraulic height is the same as the depth of the water to the bottom of the dam.
What is the heel of a dam?
The heel of a dam refers to the downstream portion of the dam's structure, where the dam meets the riverbed or foundation. It is typically the part that is closest to the water flow and plays a critical role in the dam's stability and structural integrity. The heel is designed to withstand hydraulic forces and ensure that the dam remains securely anchored to its base. Proper design and construction of the heel are essential to prevent erosion and potential failure of the dam.

What structure built across a river to hold back water?
A dam.
Why do you find a reservoir near a dam?
The dam is the wall or structure that holds back fresh water. The reservoir is the whole structure, which includes the dam wall and stored water.
How do you construct dams?
A dam is a hydraulic structure constructed across a river to store water on its up-stream side.It is an impervious or fairly impervious barrier put across a natural stream so that a reservoir is formed.
What is a timber dam?
timber = wood dam = structure built to block/slow the flow of water so... timber dam is a wooden structure created to block or slow the flow of water.
What is a barrier that redicts water called?
It is known as a dam or dam wall. Another structure would be a dike or a levee.
Who discovered rawal dam?
The Rawal Dam is a man made structure it was not discovered it was built
How do you make a dam?
A dam is simple to make there is a turbine and a big concrete structure that holds water on the other side of the dam. The turbine is in the dam and is turned by the water coming threw the dam.
