biosphere 2 was an attempt to have humans lived within a perfectly closed system, as a model for living on other planets. The first attempt failed because the system began losing CO2, which was chemically reacting with the exposed concrete walls. How would you go about designing a habitat that is a closed system? Explain how matter and energy would flow within the system

Construct the hypothetical phase diagram for metals a and b between room temperature (20c) and 700c, given the following information: * the melting temperature of metal a is 480c. • the maximum solubility of b in a is 4 wt% b, which occurs at 420c. • the solubility of b in a at room temperature is 0 wt% b. • one eutectic occurs at 420c and 18 wt% b–82 wt% a. • a second eutectic occurs at 475c and 42 wt% b–58 wt% a. • the intermetallic compound ab exists at a composition of 30 wt% b–70 wt% a, and melts congruently at 525c.• the melting temperature of metal b is 600c. • the maximum solubility of a in b is 13 wt% a, which occurs at 475c. • the solubility of a in b at room temperature is 3 wt% a.

Although respiratory organs vary across different organisms, they all contain respiratory surfaces that have a large surface area and are extremely thin. explain why having an extremely thin respiratory surface with a large surface area is advantageous for the process of gas exchange

If two objects at different te,peraure are in contact with each other what happens to their temperature
