Based on my observations, the earth rotates from west to east about the axis of rotation. The counter-clockwise rotation of the earth is as viewed from the North Pole star Polaris.

My observations supporting the counter-clockwise rotation of the earth are:

  • The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
  • All celestial objects including the stars and the moon rise in the east and set in the west.

The rotation is the result of the strong geomagnetic field of the earth. It is also responsible for the formation of day and night on the planet.

How does altered ventilation and diffusion affect these processes?
mestny [16]
<span>Lungs take in air, and diffuse (absorb) air into the capillaries of the blood. However, this process is two steps, one for inhalation and one for exhalation. Diffusion takes place in both processes, and serves different purposes. One is to absorb oxygen, the other is to rid co2.</span>

What is the difference between code, codon, and anticodon?
NeX [460]
The codon is a set of 3 nucleotides that can be read to convey a message in your DNA. It can be a code saying to "start" the process of protein synthesis, or "stop" it, or to encode for an amino acid - the building blocks of proteins. 
<span>The DNA is read, and proteins are made by DNA Polymerase (simple version here, it is more complicated, but this is the gist of it) travelling down the DNA. As it travels, it reads the nucleotides and builds a chain of amino acids, that corresponds to the information gleaned from the DNA. </span>
<span>So, the codon is only on one side of the DNA, and there are 2 sides. In order to be able to keep the DNA safe, and package it well (and loads of other reasons ) there is a complimentary strand. The nucleotides that make up DNA are A, T, C, and G. A links to T and C to G, and vice versa. </span>
So if your DNA strand's codons read "AAG AGG TCA"
Then the complimentary strand will read "TTC TCC AGT" the three codons on the complimentary strand ARE THE ANTICODONS of the codons on the strand being read (aka "expressed").
<span>So a codon and an anti codon are made of the same things, it just is a matter of which is being actively expressed. Now, this gets insanely complicated when you learn more about reading frames! Not only are there those codons, but if you shift and start reading the "code" either one nucleotide earlier or later, it completely changes the message.</span>

The nitrogen cycle could not exist without
sasho [114]
<span>The nitrogen cycle could not exist without first nitrogen. The cycle is about this specific element which goes to show that if this element is not present then, there will not be any nitrogen cycle. Also, an important factor for the cycle is the presence of the bacteria and other microorganism which are needed for the fixation. </span>

Community ecologists study the factors that determine the abundance of different species. The Abundance of three algae species (
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The abundance of three algal species in Lake A is now represented by the vectors:

[97, 84, 43] and [100, 80, 50]

Now if we look at Lake A, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

a = [100 -97, 80 - 84. 50 - 43]

a = [3, -4, 7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|a| = \sqrt{(3)^2 +(-4)^2+(7)^2}

|a| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|a| = \sqrt{74}

|a| =8.6 \ mg/mL

The abundance of three algal species in Lake B is now represented by the vectors:

[25, 59, 22] and [20, 63, 15]

At Lake B, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

b = [20 -23, 63 - 59. 15 - 22]

b = [-3, -4, -7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|b| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(4)^2+(-7)^2}

|b| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|b| = \sqrt{74}

|b| =8.6 \ mg/mL

Hence, for both Lake A and B, the magnitude of change is the same.
