Temperature and Altitude For every 1-kilometer increase in
altitude in the lower atmosphere,
temperature decreases about 6.5°C.
Analyze Proportional Relationships A
researcher releases a weather balloon
to study the atmosphere. The air
temperature at the ground is 27°C. If
the sensors read an air temperature of
17°C, then about how far up has the
balloon traveled?
NOTEBOOK

Molecular models of two different substances are shown below. in the molecule on the left, the oxygen atom pulls on electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms. in the molecule on the right, the two oxygen atoms pull on the shared electrons with the same strength. water molecule, h,o oxygen molecule, oz when the two substances are put in the same container, they do not attract each other. why does this happen? a. they both contain oxygen. b. one is polar and one is nonpolar. c . they are both polar. d. they contain different elements.

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?

Hormones are chemical molecules produced by endocrine glands. one such endocrine gland is the thyroid gland, which synthesizes the thyroid hormone, which in turn affects the heart muscles. which two statements describe the probable reason for the function of the hormone? the cells in the heart have specific receptors that allow for the intake of hormones. the heart and the endocrine glands have the exact same types of cells. all cells make the same types of hormones. thyroid hormones show their effect on the heart by means of specialized cells. thyroid cells and cardiac cells have different dna.
