Compare the water loss rates from a lizard here in the desert during a typical early summer day and night. Assume that the aperture of the pores and any other openings (that allow water vapor loss) from the lizard are similar day and night. Also assume that the air vapor pressure is similar day and night (a reasonable assumption unless a storm system happens to come through). The temperature during the day is many degrees higher than at night. Assume the lizard's surface temperature is the same as its surrounding air temperature. The rate of water loss from the lizard would be much lower at night because the VPD is lower at night. Why is the VPD lower at night

Four different thermometers were used to measure the temperature of a sample of pure boiling water. the measurements are recorded in the table below. thermometer temperature reading 1 temperature reading 2 temperature reading 3 w 100.1°c 99.9°c 96.9°c x 100.4°c 102.3°c 101.4°c y 90.0°c 95.2°c 98.6°c z 90.8°c 90.6°c 90.7°c the actual boiling point of pure water is 100.0°c. what can be concluded from the data about the reliability and validity of the thermometers?

What happens as electrons move along the chain of molecules known as the electron transport chain? they gain energy, which causes atp molecules to lose phosphate groups. they gain energy, which causes h *ions to join with oxygen to produce water. they lose energy, which is then used by the cell to make atp. they lose energy, which is then used to break down atp.
