What is the distance of one degree of lattitude

1 answer:

8 0

One degree of latitude equals approximately 364,000 feet (69 miles), one minute equals 6,068 feet (1.15 miles), and one-second equals 101 feet. One-degree of longitude equals 288,200 feet (54.6 miles), one minute equals 4,800 feet (0.91 mile), and one second equals 80 feet.

What term is used to describe bacterial cells that can naturally take up dna from their environment?

Maru [420]

<h2>The correct answer is: Competent cells</h2>

Explanation:

Bacterial cells have the capability of incorporating foreign naked DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid fragments from the environment or the exterior of the cell to the interior of the cell. This process is known as Transformation.
The bacterial cells which are able to undergo transformation are called Competent bacterial cells.
Some of the bacterial cells are naturally competent like<em> Bacillus subtilis, Streptocossus pneumoniae</em> while others like <em>Escherishia coli </em>need to be chemically treated to make them artificially competent.
In natural competence, the foreign DNA from the cell exterior is incorporated into the cell interior through specific protein complexes present in the plasma membrane of the bacterial cells.
In artificial competence, the negative charge on foreign DNA is masked by positively charged calcium ions (so that it is not repelled by the negative charge of the lipid bilayer of the bacterial cell plasma membrane) and then small pores are created in the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane of the bacterial cells by giving a heat shock to the cells. This results in the uptake of the DNA by the bacterial cells.

Artist 52 [7]

No that is just, no just no. DNA is copied through cell reproduction where a cell splits to create more (growing for multi called organisms and asexual reproduction for single celled organisms) The mitochondria is an organelle that is the "power house" of the cell, the "digestive system".

As skin cells move toward the surface of the body, they produce a protein that reduces water loss. This process is called

fomenos

Answer:

As skin cells move toward the surface of the body, they produce a protein that reduces water loss. This process is called Keratinization.

Explanation:

Keratinization is a process which changes the stratum corneum of the skin to a hard cover which provides protection.

The process of keratinization involves polymerization of keratin polypeptides. The keratin polypeptides gets polymerized into intermediate filaments of keratin. Each of the intermediate filament of keratin constitute around 30,000 polypeptides of keratin.
