In scientific notation, the radius of each bacterium in a petri dish is 3.15 × 10-7 meter. The radius of the bacterium written as a decimal number in standard form is
meters.

Answers

Answer: 0.000000315m

Explanation:

Radius of each bacterium in a petri dish

= 3.15 × 10^-7

According to the law of indices,

10^-7 = 1/10^7 = 1/10000000

Therefore, 3.15 × 10^-7 will then be:

= 3.15 × 1/10000000

= 0.000000315m

Therefore, the radius of the bacterium written as a decimal number in standard form will be 0.000000315m

What type of person was the king in the three questions

Answers


Answer:
So much can be read into the fact that the king is "semi-barbaric". He does know right from wrong, but he chooses to ignore it and go with with whatever he fancies. In a sense, this makes him, perhaps, the worse kind of character. He does, in fact, know that his ways are evil and subject to incorrect chance, but he does not care. He sees his method as a perfect fifty percent to fifty percent, so according to him, it is fair.
Still, he has to know that this is a less than perfect system--in fact, it is a complete fallacy.
When we think about it, this may make him the most despicable and contemptible of characters. He goes against whatever conscience he may have

Explanation:

Read this passage (THE QUESTIONS ARE AFTER THE PASSAGE ANSWER CORRECT THEM FOR BRAINLIST AND 25 POINTS)


Whales are aquatic mammals.
1
Whales live in the water, but they aren’t fish—they’re mammals. All mammals are warm-blooded (maintain a high constant body temperature), breathe air, give live birth, nurse their young, and have hair. A whale breathes air through nostrils called a blowhole, located on top of its head. When it needs oxygen, a whale surfaces, thrusts its blowhole clear of the water, exhales (blows), and then inhales (takes in a deep breath of air).

Baby whales drink milk.
2
Like other mammals’ mothers, whales give birth to live young. A whale calf that is born under water can swim at birth. Soon after birth, the calf begins nursing. Whale milk is rich in fat and protein, and baby whales grow quickly. A blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) calf can gain as much as 90 kg (200 lb) a day while nursing.

Do whales have hair?
3
Yes, whales have hair, but they usually shed their hair while they are very young. Adult whales rarely have hair. A young whale may be born with sparse hairs along its rostrum. 1 Smooth skin makes a whale sleek and fast—an adaptation for living in water. What does a whale’s skin feel like? Some people say it feels like a wet inner tube.

Whales are adapted for water.
4
Whales’ bodies are streamlined. A streamlined shape glides easily through water and helps a whale conserve energy as it swims. A whale’s powerful tail is made up of a pair of flukes. The tail flukes move up and down for swimming. Forelimbs are called flippers. Whales use their flippers for steering and, with the help of the flukes, stopping. Most whales have a dorsal fin, which helps regulate body heat and also helps stabilize a swimming whale.

Blubber keeps whales warm.
5
Whales are warm-blooded with a core temperature about the same as ours. Because they live in cool water, they have adaptations for retaining body heat. A thick layer of fatty tissue called blubber lies just under the skin. Blubber insulates a whale’s internal organs and muscles.

Mysticeti means “mustached whale.”

6
This nickname refers to the baleen that hangs from the gums along each side of a mysticete’s upper jaw. Baleen is made mostly of keratin, a substance that also forms our fingernails and hair. Mysticetes tend to be solitary animals, traveling alone or in small groups. Unlike toothed whales, they have two blowholes.

Baleen plates work like a strainer.
7
A mysticete’s baleen strains food from the water. Some mysticetes feed by swimming with their mouths wide open. Others gulp in huge amounts of water. When they close their mouths, the water is forced out through the baleen, and food is trapped in the fringe. The whale swallows its meal.


The largest eat the smallest.
8
Mysticetes, some of the largest animals ever to live on earth, eat some of the smallest, most abundant life in the ocean: plankton. Depending on the species, mysticetes also eat small schooling fishes and a variety of tiny crustaceans such as krill, copepods, and amphipods.

How do we learn about whales?
9
Much of our knowledge about whales has come from the study of dead animals on beaches and from whaling expeditions. Today scientists study live whales to learn more about how they live.
10
Studying whales in the wild can be difficult because all we usually see is the blow, the back, or the tail flukes. Some scientists study whales under water or analyze whale photographs.
11
Much information has also come from whale studies in research facilities and marine zoological parks. Zoological research and breeding efforts have generated a wealth of behavioral, nutritional, and veterinary information. Recovered stranded whales also provide insight.

Explanation:

Is the conflict in the Abraham and Isaac story an internal or external conflict? If external what kind of external conflict is it exactly?

Answers

Answer:

It is an external conflict, a man vs. God conflict.

Explanation:

An external conflict is when there is a clash or contrast in the interest of the character with something else. It could be with another character, an animal, nature, or even a supernatural being. It is when this other external being becomes or poses an obstacle for the protagonist to get to his destination or goal.

In the story of Abraham and Isaac, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac to him as a burnt offering on Mount Moriah. This is a case of man vs. God, as God posed or put an obstacle to the character of Abraham.

Reread lines 17–24 of "I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud." What is the "wealth" that the speaker doesn’t initially appreciate when he sees the daffodils? Support your response with evidence from the text.

Answers

Answer:

The wealth that Wordsworth doesn't initially appreciate when he first saw the daffodils was the happiness and joy, the fond memories of that moment's happiness.

Explanation:

In his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," William Wordsworth expresses his wonder and happiness that he got in encountering a field of daffodils. And in this joy from nature, the speaker realizes that this encounter with the flowers was a "wealth" that nothing can ever provide or replace.

In the third stanza, the speaker reveals how the experience of seeing the daffodils dance in the wind as a form of "wealth" that he didn't realize had been given to him. He admits "I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought". It was only later, when lying on his couch, that he realized how the happiness and joy he felt at that moment was a wealth much more valuable than anything else.

He concludes, "They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills" .

We can explain the meaning of "wealth" as used by the speaker in "In Wandered Lonely As a Cloud" in the following manner:

The wealth that the sight of the beautiful daffodils gives to the speaker is the pleasure of remembering such beauty. According to the speaker, as he gazed at the waves of daffodils, he did not at first realize the fact that he would often remember such beauty afterwards:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:  

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

What is the poem about?By William Wordsworth, "I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud" is a poem about the day when Wordsworth and his sister, while walking in nature, found a field of daffodils.As the daffodils swayed with the wind, their beauty impressed the poet. The memory of such an image is the "wealth" that the poet speaks of: Remembering it when he is alone gives him pleasure.

I hope this is enough information to help you

Answer:

The rhetoric of the article helps to develop the purpose of the text by making it very straightfoward, in order to teach people about the "Euthanasia' program. The informational text's rhetoric  disregards the emotion behind the facts to further develop the purpose of the article.  "The clinics were in reality killing wards where specially recruited medical staff murdered their young charges by lethal overdoses or by starvation" (Paragraph 2). No sugar coating, just reason, logic, and exposure. "Historians estimate that the “euthanasia” program, in all its phases, claimed the lives of 200,000 individuals" (Chapter 3). The rhetoric of logos (logic or reason in rhetoric) connects the euthanasia program to the presucution of Jews, the author also claims that former opressors in these mass murders became current oppressors in the Holocaust . The rhetoric of the article helps to develop the straightfoward non-fictional informational text to show the facts and connections behind the horrid 'Euthanasia' program.
