A camel is lost in the desert. It is not finding any food or water. It needs 9000 kilo calorie energy and 4 litre water daily. Its mass is 650 kg and 10% of its mass is fat. It has a water reservoir near its neck with a reserve of 312 litre water. It can live using its fat storage. 1g fat contains 9 kilo calorie energy. How long the camel can survive with it's reserve?
Answers
The correct answer to how long the camel can survive with its reserve would be 65 days.
First, let us calculate the total amount of energy derivable from the fat in the body of the animal:
Mass of the camel = 650 kgMass of fat = 10% of the total mass= 10% x 650 = 65 kg
If 1g of fat is equivalent to 9000 kilocalories of energy in the animal, then, 65 kg of fat would be equivalent to:
65 x 1000 x 9000 = 585,000 kilocalories of energyThe total amount of energy is 585,000 kilocalories and the total amount of reserved water is 312 litres:
Amount of energy required per day = 9000 kilocaloriesNumber of days 585,000 kilocalories of energy can serve = 585,000/9000= 65 days
Amount of water needed per day = 4 litresNumber of days 312 litres of water can serve = 312/4= 78 days
The water reserve can last 78 days while the energy reserve can last 65 days. Since the camel needs both to survive, it means the animal can only survive for 65 days.

Answers
Answer:
When we look at cells under the microscope, our usual measurements fail to work. In objectives we use (4 X, 10 X, 40 X and 100 X) arm.
At 100 x magnification you will see 2 mm. At 400 x magnification you will see 0.45 mm, or 450 microns. At 1000 x magnification you will see 0.180 mm, or 180 microns.

Answer:
How does the ozone layer differ from ozone at the surface of the earth?
Ozone molecules (O3) have three oxygen atoms. Ozone is found in two different layers in Earth's atmosphere. "Bad" ozone is found in the troposphere, the layer nearest the ground. ... Ozone in the stratosphere forms when a photon of ultraviolet "light" from the Sun strikes a normal oxygen molecule, breaking it apart.
