dwarf Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 each statement is false. rewrite each one as a true statement (im crap at science) green plants photosynthesise all day and all night in summer photosynthesis takes place in the roots of a plant roots hold a plant in the ground and absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis oxygen combines with water to make food for a plant to catch as much light as possible leaves are narrow and flat (broad + flat) the reactants of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen ( carbon dioxide + water) green plants store carbohydrates in the form of glucose in the leaves a green water plant will produce more bubbles of carbon dioxide if the light intensity increases chopping down lots of trees will increase the greenhouse effect because the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere is increased (carbon dioxide) chloroplast is the green pigment that is found in leaves brackets mean my thoughts of an obvious answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 green plants photosynthesise all day and all night in summer I think they do it at day but respire day and night photosynthesis takes place in the roots of a plant Leaves roots hold a plant in the ground and absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis Hold a plant, take water and nutrients oxygen combines with water to make food for a plant respiration = glucose + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide + energy to catch as much light as possible leaves are narrow and flat (broad + flat) Broad and flat green plants store carbohydrates in the form of glucose in the leaves starch isn't it? chloroplast is the green pigment that is found in leaves Chlorophyl I think that's right but it was ages ago that I did this so I'll wait for somebody else to come and correct me.

Gizmo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 green plants photosynthesise all day and all night in summer All day, can't at night as it needs sunlight photosynthesis takes place in the roots of a plant in the leaves roots hold a plant in the ground and absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis absorb water and nutrients to sustain the plant oxygen combines with water to make food for a plant can't remember this one to catch as much light as possible leaves are narrow and flat (broad + flat) broad and flat the reactants of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen ( carbon dioxide + water) think your right green plants store carbohydrates in the form of glucose in the leaves not sure a green water plant will produce more bubbles of carbon dioxide if the light intensity increases shouldnt it be less? not sure though chopping down lots of trees will increase the greenhouse effect because the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere is increased (carbon dioxide) carbon dioxide will increase chloroplast is the green pigment that is found in leaves chlorophyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a plant expert either however I think you are correct, good Sir. here's what I think I can add: a green water plant will produce more bubbles of carbon dioxide if the light intensity increases not carbon dioxide but oxygen chopping down lots of trees will increase the greenhouse effect because the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere is increased (carbon dioxide) not nitrogen but carbon dioxide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 cheers guys, just to let you know i knew the chlorophyll one but forgot to bracket it. good help thanks a lot. and what would the answer be to this write as power of 2 as simply as possible: 0.125 1 2cubed x square root 2 (2power1) 2n x 2n +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I do not know that you are asking there. Is it 4 questions or one? If it's 4 then I think you are asking for it in indeces. 0.125 = 2^(-3) 1 = 2^0 2³ x 2^(1/2) = 2^(7/2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Corrections: green plants photosynthesise all day and all night in summerAll day, can't at night as it needs sunlight photosynthesis takes place in the roots of a plant in the leaves roots hold a plant in the ground and absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis absorb water and nutrients to sustain the plant oxygen combines with water to make food for a plant It combines with carbon dioxide. to catch as much light as possible leaves are narrow and flat (broad + flat) broad and flat the reactants of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen ( carbon dioxide + water) Yep, carbon dioxide and water. green plants store carbohydrates in the form of glucose in the leaves In the form of starch. a green water plant will produce more bubbles of carbon dioxide if the light intensity increases More bubbles of oxygen. chopping down lots of trees will increase the greenhouse effect because the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere is increased (carbon dioxide) carbon dioxide will increase chloroplast is the green pigment that is found in leaves Chlorophyll 2n x 2n +1 For this one do you mean 2^n x 2^(n+1)? If so, the answer is 2^(2n+1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Corrections: For this one do you mean 2^n x 2^(n+1)? If so, the answer is 2^(2n+1). yeah i think, power (n + 1), not 2^n + 1 can someone tell me: write as product of powers 2&3 as simply as possible: is 12^(2/3) = (2^2 x 3^1) ^2/3 ? I swear if fukd that up also, for same question 18^3n ---- is it something like 2^1 x 3^2n ? finally write each number as a product of its prime factors. use indicies where possible (please explain to me too) 192 1400 12 375 thanks to moogle,grunch and others for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Chris Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 yeah i think, power (n + 1), not 2^n + 1 can someone tell me: write as product of powers 2&3 as simply as possible: is 12^(2/3) = (2^2 x 3^1) ^2/3 ? I swear if fukd that up also, for same question 18^3n ---- is it something like 2^1 x 3^2n ? finally write each number as a product of its prime factors. use indicies where possible (please explain to me too) 192 1400 12 375 thanks to moogle,grunch and others for help 12^(2/3) = (2*2*3)^(2/3) = ((2^2) * (3^1))^(2/3) like you said = (2^(4/3))*(3^(2/3)) slightly simpler 18^3n = (3*3*2)^(3n) = ((3^2)*2)^3n =(3^6n)*(2^3n) Prime factors, best way to do it is to divide by lowest prime 2, until its no longer a whole number, then move to the next one until you left with a prime. eg: 192 192/2 = 96 96/2 = 48 48/2 = 24 24/2 = 12 12/2 = 6 6/2 = 3 (prime) therefore 192 = 2*2*2*2*2*2*3 = (2^6) * 3 1400 1400/2 = 700 700/2 = 350 350/2 = 175 (not divisible by 2 or 3) 175/5 = 35 35/5 = 7 (prime) therefore 1400 = 2*2*2*5*5*7 = (2^3) * (3^2) * 7 12375 12375/3 = 4125 4125/3 = 1375 (not divisible by 3) 1375/5 = 275 275/5 = 55 55/5 = 11 (prime) therefore 12375 = 3*3*5*5*5*11 = 3^2 * 5^3 *11 oh and randomly 1001 = 7 * 11 * 13, it's a nice one to remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twozzok Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It's to do with using du/dx=2x and changing it into dx=du/2x once you do that it becomes a lot simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Somebody please help, I really hate this type of question: 47231 is a five-digit number whose digits sum to 4 + 7 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 17.

The fish Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It's to do with using du/dx=2x and changing it into dx=du/2x once you do that it becomes a lot simpler. I got way, way beyond that, and got a nasty equation. If you have no luck with anyone else, once I've finished a mechanics paper I'm doing, I'll give it a crack on paper.

The fish Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I gave it another try on paper, and I think I made a numerical error, as I got a similar format answer, but different figures. Ah, well, if you got it, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody please help, I really hate this type of question: 47231 is a five-digit number whose digits sum to 4 + 7 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 17. How many five-digit numbers are there whose digits sum to 39? Dear god, you're setting us STEP questions now? I'll have a go, but don't expect a solution... Edit: I give up, I have other work to do. It does help to post all of a STEP question though - in this case "Show that there are 15 five-digit numbers whose digits sum to 43. You should explain your reasoning clearly."

Chuck Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 A ball is dropped from a horizontal plane and rebounds successfully. The height above the plane is reached by the ball after the first impact with the plane is 4m. After each impact the ball rises to a height which is 3/4 of the height reached after the previous impact. Calculate the total distance traveled by the ball from the first impact until it comes to rest. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
