We human beings are surrounded by air so why don't we get smashed because of atmospheric pressure?
Pressure differentials are a cause of structural movement. Since the human body's internal pressure is basically that of atmospheric pressure, the human body experiences no change in structure. When the human body is exposed to vacuum pressure such as in space, the human bodies pressure would exert a force greater than that of the vacuum resulting in the human body to expand...(and explode ). When submerged beneath the ocean at great depths, the human body's internal pressure would not be enough to "push" against the force of the water and would implode...
What is the solution concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the cell than in the solution in which it is placed?
The solution concentration of dissolved substances will be greater inside the cell than outside if the cell is in a hypertonic solution. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to shrinkage or crenation of the cell.
If a cell with 95 percent water is placed into a solution of 10 percent salt what solution is the cell in?
If a cell containing 97% water was placed in a hypertonic solution of 10% salt and 90% water, then the cell would crenate. This occurs due to osmosis. The hypertonic solution will pull out the water which will cause the cell to shrink. It does this to reach equilibrium but equilibrium cannot be attained. The concentration of the hypertonic solution is too great for the cell or Isotonic so the permeable cell will give to the osmotic pressure being greater than turgor pressure; solute and waste will be removed from the cell causing it to shrink in size because the turgor pressure keeps the cell stable.
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
The substance that is part of a solution that is in the greater amount is called?
The substance that is in the greater amount in a solution is called the solvent. It is typically the dissolving medium that is present in larger quantities compared to the solute.
What happens when a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied on pure water?
It is compressed and occupies a smaller volume.
How does the atmospheric pressure below sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It is greater.
What happens when pressure in the lung is greater than atmospheric pressure?
If the pressure in the lung is greater than atmospheric pressure, air will flow out of the lungs in order to equalize the pressure. This is called exhalation or breathing out.
How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
What is Neptune's atmospheric pressure compared to earth's atmospheric pressure?
Neptune's atmospheric pressure is about 10 times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure. Neptune's strong gravitational pull compresses its atmosphere, leading to much higher pressure levels compared to Earth.
When does inspiration occur?
when atmospheric pressure is greater than the pressure within the lungs, inspiration occur.
Why is atmospheric pressure greater at sea?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above the point... at sea level there is more air above the point then there would be at 10,000ft
Why does atmospheric pressure becomes greater above sea level?
Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude because the weight of the air above a given point decreases as you move higher in the atmosphere. At sea level, there is a greater column of air pressing down, resulting in higher pressure. As you ascend, there is less air above you, leading to lower pressure. Therefore, atmospheric pressure is greater at sea level compared to higher elevations.
Is the pressure inside the balloon equal to the atmospheric pressure?
Think about this: if the pressure WERE equal, what would happen in the instant when you open the neck of the balloon and whatever pressure is on the inside meets the pressure that is on the outside (atmospheric pressure)? In your experience, what DOES happen?
Where will the atmospheric pressure greater at the base of the mountain or at the top why?
The atmospheric pressure will be greater at the base of the mountain because pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the weight of the overlying air. This means that as you climb higher up a mountain, the pressure will decrease.
Atmospheric pressure on the top of a wing in flight is?
Low. High on the bottom low on the top creating lift. The faster the airflow the greater the pressure difference and the greater the lift.
Area having greater than normal atmospheric pressure is what?
A high pressure zone. Site of clear skies and warm weather.
