Why do you fill your bath tub in storm?
If the electricity for the water power plant goes out, water cannot be pumped to your toilet for flushing.
Why is it necessary for glucose to be pumped into the cell rather than diffusing in?
Glucose cannot pass through a phospholipid bilayer by simple diffusion.
Which gas is sometimes pumped into greenhouses to make plants grow faster?
Carbon dioxide is the gas which sometimes is pumped into greenhouses to make plants grow faster.Specifically, the gas in question (CO2) has an essential role to play in photosynthesis. Light energy interacts with carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars. The sugars will be transported throughout the plant to promote flowering, fruiting and overall growing.
What's the direction sodium ions are pumped?
Sodium ions and potassium ions are pumped in opposite directions. Sodium ions are pumped out of the cell and potassium ions are pumped into the cell.
What is the relationship between the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain?
Electron transport cannot proceed if protons cannot be pumped across the inner membrane. Protons cannot be pumped unless the available energy to move them out of the matrix exceeds the required amount plus what energy is lost to heat.
Is coal pumped from wells?
Coal is mined from coal mines. Liquids like oil can be pumped from wells, but solid chunks of coal cannot.
Why is the fuel of jeepney liquid and not solid?
Liquids are a lot easier to deal with. They can be pumped, atomised, gravity fed and easily moved around in pipes. Solids don't allow for any of that.
When Blood entering the heart is pumped to the lungs before being pumped back out to the body why is this important?
The blood absorbs oxygen from the lungs - enabling it to be transported throughout the body.
Why do you use petrol or diesel in cars rather than coal?
Liquids are a lot easier to handle than coal. Liquids are easily pumped and piped, while lumpy coal is a lot harder to move around. Liquids turn into a spray that'll mix easily with air and burn well simply by being pushed through a nozzle, while coal is quite hard to get to a good burn. And finally, petrol and diesel has higher energy density than coal. For the same amount of weight /volume a liquid fuel will transport you longer.
Where should the water from a septic system evaporate?
into the ground, your septic has a tank that separates solids and liquids. The solids stay in tank until pumped out and the liquids continue into a leech field that is all over your yard.
What happens when electrons are transported down the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
Where does urine go when you use the airplane bathroom?
The liquids and solids go into a holding tank and are pumped out when the plane is on the ground, usually while the plane is refueling.
What is a borehole and how does it work?
it's a narraw shaft drilled through rock like a well from where liquids or gases can be pumped up mechanically by a lever or by electrical pump
To what part of the body is blood being pumped as it passes through the pulmonary artery?
It is being transported to the lungs to be oxygenated, after which it travels to the left side of the heart via the pulmonary veins.
Does a refrigerator have a separate fan for the refrigerator?
Refrigerators use refrigerants (liquids that evaporate easily at lowtemperatures) to remove thermalenergy from food. The refrigerantis pumped through coils insidethe refrigerator. As the refrigerantevaporates, it absorbs thermalenergy from the items inside therefrigerator, so they cool down.The warmed gas is pumped to acompressor at the back or bottomof the refrigerator. When thegas is compressed, its temperaturerises until it is above room temperature.Then it loses thermalenergy to the air in the room andcondenses again into a liquid.
What is a forced sewer?
A forced sewer is waste that cannot drain by gravity and must be pumped to a place of disposal
When the ventricles contract where is the blood pumped?
In a human heart when the right ventricle contracts the blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery, which goes to the lungs and returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein. The left atrium pumps the blood into left ventricle which pumps the blood to the aorta. From the aorta the blood is transported to the rest of the body.
