Answer:
Option D.
Explanation:
The above answer given is incorrect. Nucleotides consist of a phosphate group attached to a pentose sugar, with 5 carbons, (deoxyribose sugar in the case of DNA) and the pentose sugar is also attached to a nitrogenous base. DNA is incorrect as nucleotides are the building block of DNA hence DNA is NOT a component of nucleotides.
As part of the water cycle, this process is known as evaporation! :)
Answer:
The law of reflection defines that upon reflection from a smooth surface, the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of the incident ray, with respect to the normal to the surface that is to a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact.
The reflected ray is always in the plane defined by the incident ray and the normal to the surface at the point of contact of the incident ray.
The images produced by plane mirrors and curved mirrors can be understood by the law of reflection.
Law of reflection is defined as:
The principle when the light rays falls on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in the same plane.
What is Reflection of Light?
The process through which light rays fall on the surface and gets bounced back is known as a reflection of light.
Explanation:
Answer:
A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.
Explanation:
<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.
One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.
The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase
<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>
The correct option is A.
