Should I Replace The Compressor Or Buy A New Ac Unit Faq You see, an air conditioner’s inside and outside units are made for each other (it’s what they call a “matched system”). Lowered efficiency of new unit— Assume you replace the outside unit with a 16 SEER unit and the inside unit is an old 8 SEER unit.
- On the upper stem the bark is thin, papery, orange or red-brown and lower down the stem the bark is thick, dark brown and fissured (thinner and grey-brown in older trees). The tree typically reaches 15-30 metres in height (up to 46 metres recorded) with a girth of 3.3 m at a height of 1.3 m and so is quite a large tree.
- The upper and lower sides of a leaf are different. The epidermis and cuticle on the upper surface is more continuous, while the underside has more stomata, allowing gases to be exchanged between the plant and the air on the side that is less exposed.
- Pine trees belong to a group of trees called but they are not flowers in the true biological sense and conifers belong to the gymnosperms (lit. 'naked seeds') a group of non-flowering plants distinct from the flowering plants or angiosperms. Most conifers are trees, though some like juniper are woody shrubs.
- The epidermis of a plant is the single, clear layer of cells that cover the roots, stems, flowers, fruits, and leaves. It acts like a protective covering from the sun, temperature changes, and moisture changes in the environment. Often a waxy coating, called a cuticle, adds an extra layer of protection.
Epidermis (botany) The guard cells contain chloroplasts, but other epidermal cells usually don't. Some epidermal cells are specialized and grow hair-like structures, called trichomes, on the plant stems and leaves. Some plants secrete sticky, stinging and, in rare case, digestive substances from their trichomes.
Upper Epidermis of a Leaf: Function & Definition There are even differences in the epidermis on the underside and upper side of a leaf. Usually, the outer walls of the epidermal cells are thickened for protection and they may be covered with a waxy, waterproof coating called a cuticle.
The Leaf: Site of Photosynthesis & Transpiration 1 Fewer chloroplasts, but photosynthesis still takes place here. 2 This is the site of water and gas exchange, with the air spaces in the spongy mesophyll connected directly to the stomates. 3 The vascular system is distributed throughout the mesophyll, and is visible on the surface of the leaf as the venation pattern.
The Leaf: Site of Photosynthesis & Transpiration 1 These have more chloroplasts than the rest of the mesophyll, and most photosynthesis seems to take place in the pallisade parenchyma. 2 Spongy Parenchyma-these are typical, box-shaped cells, with much more air/fluid space between them than the pallisade cells.
The Leaf: Site of Photosynthesis & Transpiration The Mesophyll. Mesophyll is the leaf's ground tissue, composed primarily of parenchyma containing a great density of chloroplasts (hence, this is chlorenchyma). 1 Pallisade Parenchyma-vertical, columnar cells closest to the upper epidermis.

Electoral history: Colorado has voted mostly Republican Heck, Colorado even went for Republican Bob Dole in 1996 when President Clinton coasted to re-election. MSNBC’s Chuck Todd brought up Colorado’s first electoral vote, the controversial election of Rutherford B. Hayes, when Todd was in town last week for the presidential debate at the University of Denver debate. Here’s a look back on how Colorado voted in presidential elections:

- Colorado gained statehood in August 1876. After voting primarily Republican from 1920-2004, the state has voted with the Democrats in the last three presidential elections, including Hillary Clinton's five-point margin in 2016. That election saw one of Colorado's electors attempt to vote for Bernie Sanders. That vote was disallowed and the elector was replaced.
- Colorado’s population has been growing, and it now has 50% more electoral votes than it did in the 1960s. Based on population trends at the end of 2016, the state may gain a 10th electoral vote after the 2020 presidential election.

highway Old English heahweg main road from one town to another; see high (adj.) in sense of main + way. High street (Old English heahstræte) was the word before 17c. applied to highways and main roads, whether in the country or town, especially one of the Roman roads. In more recent usage, it generally is the proper name of the street of a town which is built upon a highway and was the principal street of the place.
Anatolian Plateau: Running along Saudi Arabia's border with the Red Sea, these two ranges of lower mountains averages 6,000 - 7,000 ft. Positioned between the Black and Caspian Seas, these mountains dominate the landscape of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia where the Middle East begins.
Middle Eastern Landforms and Waters This sea is a northwestern extension of the Indian Ocean, positioned between India, Oman, Pakistan and Yemen, and Cape Guardafui in far northeastern Somalia. The sea connects with the Persian Gulf through the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz. In the southwest, the Gulf of Aden connects it with the Red Sea.
The Middle Way The Rejection of Extremes. [Photo by Giusepe Milo CC BY] Shakyamuni’s life exemplifies a basic interpretation of the Middle Way as the path between two extremes, close to Aristotle’s idea of the “golden mean” whereby “every virtue is a mean between two extremes, each of which is a vice.”. Born a prince, Shakyamuni enjoyed every physical comfort and pleasure.

Color blindness Some of the inherited diseases known to cause color blindness are: 1 cone dystrophy. 2 cone-rod dystrophy. 3 achromatopsia (a.k.a. rod monochromatism, stationary cone dystrophy or cone dysfunction syndrome) 4 blue cone monochromatism (a.k.a. blue cone monochromacy or X-linked achromatopsia) 5 Leber's congenital amaurosis.
Color blindness The different kinds of inherited color blindness result from partial or complete loss of function of one or more of the different cone systems. When one cone system is compromised, dichromacy results.
Color blindness Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is the decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Color blindness can make some educational activities difficult. Buying fruit, picking clothing, and reading traffic lights can be more challenging, for example. Problems, however, are generally minor and most people adapt.
Color blindness There is also a study suggesting that people with some types of color blindness can distinguish colors that people with normal color vision are not able to distinguish. In World War II, color blind observers were used to penetrate camouflage.
Color blindness Most clinical tests are designed to be fast, simple, and effective at identifying broad categories of color blindness. In academic studies of color blindness, on the other hand, there is more interest in developing flexible tests to collect thorough datasets, identify copunctal points, and measure just noticeable differences. Management
Color blindness Color vision deficiencies can be classified as acquired or inherited. 1 Acquired: Diseases, drugs (e.g., Plaquenil), and chemicals may cause color blindness. 2 Inherited: There are three types of inherited or congenital color vision deficiencies: monochromacy, dichromacy, and anomalous trichromacy.

What is File Extension QSA? by: Jay Geater, Chief Technology Writer. Did someone email you a QSA file and you're not sure how to open it? Maybe you have found a QSA file on your computer and wondering what it's for? Windows might tell you that you can't open it, or in the worst case, you might encounter a QSA file related error message. Before you can open a QSA file, you'll need to figure out what kind of file the QSA file extension refers to. Tip: Incorrect QSA file association errors can be a symptom of other underlying issues within your Windows operating system.
What is File Extension QSA? In the case that your QSA file doesn't open, it is highly likely that you do not have the correct software application installed on your PC to view or edit QSA file extensions. If your PC opens the QSA file, but it's the wrong application, you'll need to change your Windows registry file association settings. In other words, Windows is associating QSA file extensions with the wrong software program.

Alfred Wegener The first reason Wegener's hypothesis holds weight is that Wegener used geological evidence to back his claim that Africa and South America were at one time connected. The collection of maps, rock formations, and fossil records provided the evidence Wegener needed to connect South America to Africa.
- important discoveries of the 20th century—plate tectonics. You have already learned about Earth’s surface and that it is. covered with a lithosphere that is broken into pieces called. “plates.” Plate tectonics is the study of the movement of these. plates. It is a relatively new field of study. Scientists have. only arrived at our current understanding of plate tectonics. over the past 40 years. This is a very short time in science.
- Briefly discuss the evidence used by Alfred Wegener to support his theory of continental drift. Explain why continental drift was not accepted by most scientists when the theory was originally proposed. Explain the theory of polar wandering and how it helped to renew interest in the idea of continental drift. Discuss geomagnetic reversals and seafloor spreading, and how each contributed to the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s.
What is the importance of continental drift? Continental drift refers to the movement of the Earth's continents relative to each other. The theory was first proposed by Frank Bursley Taylor in 1908, at a meeting of the …Geological Society of America.
Continental Drift: Theory & Definition In the 1960s, geological research suggested the theory of plate tectonics, which accounted for the theory of continental drift. Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface.
Where is DNA located in the Eukaryotic cell ? Report Abuse. DNA may be located in two particular locations within a Eukaryotic cell. In the nucleus and in the mitochondria (and chloroplast). However, DNA found in the mitochondria (and chloroplast) are similar in structure to those found in prokaryotic cells. You should be more specific the next time you ask a question like this.
Why mitochondria is also known as powerhouse of the cell? The complete aerobic degradation of glucose to CO2 and H2O is coupled to synthesis of as many as 36 molecules of ATP (Chapter 2). In eukaryotic cells, the initial stages of glucose degradation occur in the cytosol, where two ATP molecules per glucose molecule are generated.

- In eukaryotic organisms, the majority of DNA is found within the nucleus of the cell in the form of a chain of chromosomes. Eukaryotes also have extra chromosomal DNA that is found within various cell organelles located outside of the nucleus, primarily in the mitochondria and chloroplasts. Keep Learning.
Where and in What Form Is Eukaryotic DNA Found? In eukaryotic organisms, the majority of DNA is found within the nucleus of the cell in the form of a chain of chromosomes.

Airship La France made the first flight of an airship that landed where it took off; the 170 ft (52 m) long, 66,000 cu ft (1,900 m3) airship covered 8 km (5.0 mi) in 23 minutes with the aid of an 8.5 hp (6.3 kW) electric motor, and a 435 kilograms (959 lb) battery.
Why was the airship invented? Best Answer: They couldn't stick to conventional aircraft because they had not yet been invented. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin started construction of his first airship in June, 1898: http://www.airships.net/zeppelins. The Wright Brothers did not make their first flight until December, 1903:
The First Zeppelins: LZ-1 through LZ-4 The First Zeppelin: LZ-1. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin began construction of his first airship, LZ-1, in June, 1898 in a floating wooden hangar on the Bodensee (Lake Constance) at Manzell (Friedrichshafen) in Southern Germany, not far from the Swiss border.
Airship An airship or dirigible is a type of aerostat or lighter-than-air aircraft that can navigate through the air under its own power. Aerostats gain their lift from large gas bags filled with a lifting gas that is less dense than the surrounding air.
The First Zeppelins: LZ-1 through LZ-4 Triangular girders similar to those used on LZ-2 would be used on every subsequent zeppelin airship, and Ludwig Dürr would remain as chief engineer, designing every ship built by the Zeppelin Company after LZ-2. LZ-2 made its only flight on January 17, 1906.
Airship Non-rigid airships, often called blimps, rely on internal pressure to maintain the shape of the airship. Semi-rigid airships maintain the envelope shape by internal pressure, but have some form of supporting structure, such as a fixed keel, attached to it.
The First Zeppelins: LZ-1 through LZ-4 The record-breaking Switzerland flight of LZ-4 brought national attention to the success of Count Zeppelin and his machine, and the public began to look on the airship as a practical innovation. On July 3, 1908, King Wilhelm II of Württemberg and his wife, Queen Charlotte, were passengers on the fifth flight of LZ-4.
Why was the airship invented? Airships were invented before airplanes thats why. Airshipes could carry more people longer distances then airplanes (back in the day). Hydrogen was the cheapest item the Germans could get (because all the Helium was controlled by the USA and costed more), thats why the Hindenburgh was loaded up with Hydrogen instead. A blimp and an airship are two different things. Helium would be the safest item to use on an airship or blimp.

13 Signs of the Teen Growth Spurt For older girls and women, their periods pretty much stick to a regular pattern. The entire cycle lasts the same number of days (21 to 34) and they have bleeding for about the same number of days (less than a week). For the first year, a girl's periods are often irregular and hard to predict. It's a good idea to keep track of your period with a calendar. Talk with your doctor if you're concerned about the length of your period or cycle. About 6 years after a girl's first period, the cycles usually get shorter and more regular.
