What are the geophysical characteristic of the Philippines?
One geophysical characteristic of the Philippines is that the area contains many bodies of water. It is considered an archipelago region.
What is a characteristic of Echinoderms?
Invertebrate animals with spikes and spines all over their bodies.
What reason best explains why the question of constitutionality is persuasive in a debate?
All government bodies are accountable to the Constitution.
Will there be aschoff bodies in sarcoidosis?
No. Aschoff bodies are nodules found in the hearts of individuals with rheumatic fever. They result from inflammation in the heart muscle and are characteristic of rheumatic heart disease.
What are oval fat bodies?
Oval fat bodies are visible in urine. Oval fat bodies are usually renal proximal tubular cells with lipid in the cytoplasm. Oval fat bodies are usually a sign of nephrotic syndrome. They can be identified under microscope by their characteristic 'maltese cross' appearance.
What is denser seawater or blood?
Blood is far denser than sea water as it has a whole bunch of cellular bodies mixed in with it. I think you wanted to ask "Which is denser seawater or serum?" In that case serum is still heavier even though it has less salt. Serum still has a wide assortment of exotic proteins dissolved in it.
Which of the following explains what studies have shown about how American men feel about their bodies?
Men are also affected by unrealistic body images in the media APEX
Why lines are important?
They indicate the density of the seawater, which determines how much lift-force the water can apply to the ship. So, basically, the lines show how much cargo a ship can hold in different water bodies.
Does the water of marine ecosystem contain dissolved salt?
Most marine ecosystems do contain saltwater. Some bodies of water do contain freshwater, but they are not the majority.
What is the name for the main salt found in sea water?
Seawater composition (by mass) (salinity = 35)ElementPercentElementPercentOxygen85.84Sulfur0.091Hydrogen10.82Calcium0.04Chloride1.94Potassium0.04Sodium1.08Bromine0.0067Magnesium0.1292Carbon0.0028 Although the vast majority of seawater has an negative salinity of between 3.1% and 3.8%, seawater is not uniformly saline throughout the world. Where mixing occurs with fresh water runoff from river mouths or near melting glaciers, seawater can be substantially less saline. The most saline open sea is the Red Sea, where high rates of evaporation, low precipitation and river inflow, and confined circulation result in unusually salty water. The salinity in isolated bodies of water (for example, the Dead Sea) can be considerably greater still. The density of surface seawater ranges from about 1,020 to 1,029 kg•m−3, depending on the temperature and salinity. Deep in the ocean, under high pressure, seawater can reach a density of 1,050 kg•m−3 or higher. Seawater pH is limited to the range 7.5 to 8.4. The speed of sound in seawater is about 1,500 metres/second, and varies with water temperature, salinity, and pressure.
