Water has a characteristically high specific heat, making it an important vector (or mechanism) for redistributing heat around the globe.

Specific heat can be defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. The units of specific heat are usually calories or joules per gram per degree Celsius.

The specific heat of water is 1 calorie (or 4.186 joules) per gram per degree Celsius. The incoming radiation from the sun is responsible for warming up the Earth. Water in particular, has a high heat capacity at 4.18 J/g*C, which indicates that more heat is needed to warm a gram of water. This is the reason that throughout a warm summer day, the water in the ocean does not experience a significant change.

Antibiotic resistance evolved in a population of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Select the
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance can evolved in bacterial population in the following ways:

Explanation:

  • In response to constant exposure to antibiotics some members of a bacterial population develop some beneficial mutations in some essential genes that gives them survival advantage in terms of food and space over the sensitive bacterial strains and hence they are capable of out-competing the sensitive bacteria.
  • This happens due to the process of Natural Selection.
  • These genes are called antibiotic resistance genes and bacteria usually carry them on plasmids in form of cassettes where genes resistant to multiple drugs are incorporated. These plasmids are called the MDR or Multi-Drug Resistance Plasmids.
  • These resistant plasmids can be easily transferred among bacterial populations by conjugation, transformation or transduction or direct plasmid transfer.
  • The resistant genes encode for proteins that render the drug ineffective by promoting their efflux from the cells, preventing their entry into the cell, chemically modifying them such that they become non-functional or altering the target site of the drug.

Which of the following is not a sign of possible pest infestation?
Brrunno [24]

The right answer is smelly garbage.

Infestation is the penetration into the body of a parasite whose nature is not microbial.

smelly garbage is not synonymous of infestation, because the olfactory system only detected smelly metabolites of these microorganisms. This does not necessarily mean that the microorganism has managed to penetrate the body.

By cons other proposals are signs and tools for infestation (torn packaging with food leaking out, dead insect bodysuits, feathers, and fur).

Muscle fibers are directly surrounded by which thin layer of connective tissue?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- epimysium

Explanation:

Epimysium is the fibrous connective tissue envelope which surrounds the muscle fibers of the muscle as a whole.

The epimysium plays an important role in maintaining the muscle structure as it protects the muscle from the friction caused by the associated bones and the muscles. The epimysium is continuous with other layers called the endomysium, perimysium, tendons and the fascia.

Thus, epimysium is the correct answers.

A convergent boundary is a location where tectonic plates move toward each other. which feature of the ocean floor is caused by
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.
