In troposphere temperature decreases with height at an average rate of 6.5℃/km. If the temperature at 2.5 km altitude is 7.0℃ what is the temperature at 5.5 km altitude step by step include a clear step by step pleas

Temperature at 5.5km altitude = -12.5 degrees centigrade

Explanation:

Change of temperature per km = 6.5 degrees centigrade

Change in altitude = Final altitude – initial altitude

Change in altitude = 5.5 – 2.5 = 3km

Now,

Temperature at 5.5km altitude = 7 – (3*6.5) = -12.5 degrees centigrade

Negative sign has appeared because temperature is decreasing with the increase in altitude.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.

explanation:

x would be the most and the least would be y because there are more fruit   and seeds than flock z has insects
