How is a growth rate related to a growth factor?

A growth factor is a numerical value that quantifies the increase or decrease of a quantity over time, while a growth rate is the percentage change in that quantity over a specific period. The growth factor is derived from the growth rate by adding 1 to the growth rate percentage expressed as a decimal. For example, a growth rate of 5% corresponds to a growth factor of 1.05.


What is intercalary growth?

Intercalary growth is growth that occurs in the middle of an organ or structure, rather than at the tips or edges. It allows for continued growth and elongation of structures, such as stems or roots, even after the initial growth has slowed down. One example is the intercalary meristem found in grasses, which is responsible for the continuous growth of the leaf blades.


Which of these terms is defined as population growth limited by carrying capacity?

The term defined as population growth limited by carrying capacity is "logistic growth." In logistic growth, population growth slows as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment, resulting in a stable population size.


How can I define and describe logarighmic growth?

Logarithmic growth is a pattern where the growth rate of a phenomenon slows over time, forming a curve that gradually levels off. It is characterized by a steep increase initially, followed by a gradual tapering as it approaches an upper limit. This type of growth is common in situations where resources or constraints limit continued exponential growth.


Which hormone is important for bone growth during infancy and childhood?

Growth hormone is the hormone that stimulates bone and muscle growth. It is made in the pituitary gland. It is also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone is responsible for the increase in height in children and adolescents. It also increases bone density and muscle mass, and stimulates organ growth.

What stars are in the Flocculent Galaxy?

The term "flocculent" refers to a type of spiral galaxy, not one specific galaxy. Flocculent galaxies have lots of short arm segments instead of a few long, continuous spirals.


Which galaxies have a great many short spiral segments branching from the spiral arms?

This may refer to the so-called "flocculent galaxies". Perhaps it's the "multiple arm galaxies", which are sometimes put in with the flocculent type.


What is a flocculent made of?

A flocculent is typically made of polymers or inorganic compounds that help agglomerate and settle suspended particles in liquids. These chemicals work by neutralizing the charges on particles, allowing them to clump together and form larger flocs that can be easily removed through filtration or settling.


What is cloudy?

When there are clouds. :) If you are talking about cloudy pool water, it could be a number of things. Take a water sample to a retail pool store for testing. If the cloudiness remains after you balance the water, try adding a flocculent. If it still remains, try shocking the pool, then adding a flocculent again.


How do you remove flocculent left too long?

maybe you scrap it off the bottom (if it's at the bottom) well that's what I think you would do

What are the white sticky stuff on the kumquat leaves?

The whitefly could be the cause of the white, sticky stuff on the kumquat leaves. The white substance is called flocculent.


What is the difference between a flocculent spiral galaxy and a grand design spiral galaxy?

A grand design spiral galaxy (like Whirlpool Galaxy) has prominent and well defined spiral arms, whereas a flocculent galaxy (like Sunflower Galaxy) has short segments of spiral structure, "fluffy" in appearance, but without the dramatic well defined spiral arms of a grand design spiral.


What are the advantages of flocculent vs clarifier for clearing up pool water?

From what I gather from reading the back of the bottle of Clarifier that I use in my pool a Clarifier is a Flocculent. The clarifier contains a polymer that attracts the smaller particles floating around in the pool that are too small to be filtered through some filtration systems. As the clarifier attracts the smaller particles it becomes large enough for the filtration system to filter it out of the water thus clariying the pool water.


How do you clear a green vynal swimming pool?

Try a combination of algaecide and flocculent ask your pool shop about the best brand available in your area, then follow the instructions. you will loose about a foot of water but its quick and economical.


What is the procedure of Gerhardt's test?

Gerhardt's test is a test for detecting the presence of proteins in a sample. To perform the test, nitric acid is added to the sample, followed by the addition of silver nitrate solution. A white flocculent precipitate forms if proteins are present, indicating a positive result.


What is found in the urine under normal conditions?

The normal finding would be a lack of finding. So - no blood, no protein, no glucose, no ketones, no nitrites or nitritrates, no albumin, no bilirubin. The urine should be clear, not cloudy or flocculent, have a characteristic but not offensive odour and have a Specific Gravity between 1000 and 1020.
