Write a script that will ask for pressure value in psi and display the equivalent pressure in kPa with a statement, such as "The converted pressure is: ..."

% This script converts pressures from psi to kPa % User is prompted to enter pressure in psiclc % Clear screen disp('This script converts pressures from psi to kPa:')disp(' ') % Display blank line psi=input('What is the pressure value in psi? ');kPa=psi*6.894757; % Calculating pressure in kPa disp(' ') % Display blank linestr = ['The converted pressure is: ', num2str(kPa), ' kPa.'];disp(str); The script output is as follows: This script converts pressures from psi to kPa:What is the pressure value in psi? 150The converted pressure is: 1034.2135 kPa.

Write a script that generates a table of conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius temperatures for a range and increment entered by the user, such as

Enter the beginning temperature in F:
Enter the ending temperature in F:
Enter the increment value:

Test your script with 20 the beginning Fahrenheit value, 200 the ending Fahrenheit value and 20 the increment.

Pascal's Law states that pressure is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout a fluid at rest. (See the illustration below). An initial force of 150 N is transmitted from a piston of 25 mm^2 to a piston of 100 mm^2. This force is progressively increased up to 200 N. Write a script that computes the corresponding load carried by the larger piston and tabulate your results.

How bacteria create energy to survive?
Muhamad Reply
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Muhamad
they make spores

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products

They are friends to host only when Host immune system is strong and become enemies when the host immune system is weakened . very bad relationship!
