Volume is defined as the amount of mass that an object has? True or false

Biology

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Mass and volume are two different quantities. In fact:

- Mass is a scalar quantity representing the "amount of matter" contained in a certain substance. It is measured in kilograms (kg), which is one of the 7 fundamental SI units.

- Volume is a scalar quantity representing the amount of "three-dimensional space" occupied by an object or a substance. It is measured in cubic meters ( $m^3$ ).

Therefore, mass and volume are two different quantities. They are related through another quantity called density, given by:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m is the mass

V is the volume

So the density of a substance represents the amount of mass contained in a certain volume of the substance.

How do non green leaves photosynthesize

Dafna1 [17]

Basically six molecules of water (H2O) plus six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the presence of light energy produce one molecule of glucose sugar (C6H12O6) and emit six molecules of oxygen (O2) as a by-product. That sugar molecule drives the living world. Animals eat plants, then breathe in oxygen, which is used to metabolize the sugar, releasing the solar energy stored in glucose and giving off carbon dioxide as a by product

A woman with color-normal vision, but whose father was color blind, marries a man with normal vision. They are expecting a child

kotegsom [21]

To know what happens here, you need to analyze the alleles.

If the father is color blind and the daughter is not, you can suppose that is a recessive allele.

You can tell she is a carrier only, and because we received one sexual allele from each parent. If they ask you about the gender, we can suppose a cross between Xx and XY being lower x the recessive allele (color-blind vision).

When you draw the Punnett square, you'll found the probabilities are XX, XY, Xx, and xY.

So, you have a 50% chance of having a boy and 25% chance of having a color-blind boy.
