Lava flows are typically finer grained (i. e. the rock is made up of smaller mineral grains) than intrusive igneous rocks because the extrusive magma cools quickly so the mineral grains do not have time to grow.

When lava comes out of a volcano and solidifies into extrusive igneous rock, the rock cools very quickly. Crystals inside solid volcanic rocks are small because they do not have much time to form until the rock cools all the way, which stops the crystal growth. Magma, called lava when molten rock erupts on the surface, cools and solidifies almost instantly when it is exposed to the relatively cool temperature of the atmosphere. Quick cooling means that mineral crystals don't have much time to grow, so these rocks have a very fine-grained or even glassy texture.

Not all intercellular signals require transduction. Which one of the following signals would be processed without transduction?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The correct answer would be a lipid-soluble signal.

Signal transduction refers to the set or cascade of bio-chemical reactions take place in a cell in order to transmit the chemical or physical signal from outside the cell to inside target molecule.

It is usually initiated by receptors present on the membrane of the cell which sense the extracellular stimulus (such as ligand, hormone, pressure, temperature, pressure etc). Once activated, these receptors activate the cascade of reaction which ultimately reaches the target molecule and produces a cell's response.

In contrast, the lipid-soluble signals (such as steroidal hormones, thyroid hormone etc) enter the cell membrane without any hindrance. They directly bind to intra-cellular receptor present in the cytoplasm or on the nuclear membrane.

The hormone-receptor complex then enters the nucleus and act as transcription factor and produces the response in the form of transcription.

A DNA molecule with the base sequence A-G-C-T-C-A was used as a template for the synthesis of
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A-G-C-U-C-A

Explanation:

A-G-C-U-C-A is the base sequence correctly represents the corresponding portion  of RNA molecule if DNA molecule with the base sequence A-G-C-T-C-A was used as a template. It is because the RNA molecule is formed from the same bases used in DNA except thymine. In RNA molecule, instead of thymine, uracil is attached with other nucleotide bases.
