Volume and Surface Area (taken from “Big Ideas by Dr. Small”): - The area of an object is a two-dimensional attribute. Area can be a single measure of a 2-D shape on an object or a combined measure of a 3-D shape, like surface area. - The capacity of an object tells how much it will hold. - The volume of a 3-D object t...
A typical nerve consists three basic parts. The body or soma is bounded by a thin and very fine membrane that is comprised chiefly of lipids. The interior is filled with liquid and contains a nucleus, organelles such asmitochondria, and other specialized protein structures. Extending from the body is an elongated appen...
What is decomposition? A leaf falls from a tree, onto the ground and turns into soil. The soil provides nutrients to the tree, which thereby can form new leaves. Decomposition, that is decay, occurs in between, when the “decomposers” – tiny organisms, fungi and bacteria in the soil – eat up the organic matter and turn ...
