Water has a high specific capacity; this means that it takes a lot of energy to change the temperature of water. Explain why this is important to life?
The fur of polar bears consists of hollow fibers. (Sometimesalgae will grow in the hollow regions, giving the fur a green cast.)Explain why hollow hairs can be beneficial to the polar bears.
Small birds like that in (Figure 1) can migrate over long
distances without feeding, storing energy mostly as fat
rather than carbohydrate. Fat is a good form of energy
storage because it provides the most energy per unit
mass: 1.00 grams of fat provides about 9.40 (food)
Calories, compared to 4.20 (food) Calories per 1.00
grams of carbohydrate. Remember that Calories
associated with food, which are always capitalized, are
not exactly the same as calories used in physics or
chemistry, even though they have the same name. More
specifically, one food Calorie is equal to 1000 calories of
mechanical work or 4184 joules. Therefore, in this
problem use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4184 J.

Part A
Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an
average rate of 3.70 W (this rate represents the power consumption of the bird). Assume that the bird consumes
4.00 g of fat to fly over a distance do without stopping for…

He collects information about the local people, including how many family members contracted the disease and where they live. John discovers that the disease is most common in homes located closest to the town’s water pump. John contrives an explanation: that the illness is waterborne and people are contracting the disease from water they retrieve from the town’s water pump. After petitioning the authorities, the handle at the pump is removed. John collects data about disease incidence and finds that occurrence of the disease is greatly reduced. John concludes that the water from the pump was causing the illness. What step(s) of the scientific method is/are missing from Data Table 1?

This is quite impressive given that the atmosphere during Archaean and early Proterozoic times was largely devoid of oxygen! Therefore, this reflects the photosynthetic efficiency of the early biosphere, coupled with its operation over long periods of time. Knowing that the mass of the modern atmosphere is 5.01×1018 kg, of which 21% is oxygen, what is the mass (in kilograms) of oxygen contained within BIFs?
