Answer:

Explanation:

Due to the inhibition of convection by the magnetic fields, these areas (usually occur in pairs corresponding to the two poles), the hot plasma from the sun’s interior doe not reach the surface of these areas hence creating local regions that are cooler than the rest of the photosphere. This cooler regions appear darker when observed with a telescope and are called sunspots.

so the answer is : B. Magnetic field reversal causes portions of the sun to die slowly over time, leaving dark marks.

<h2>Further explanation </h2>

Sunspots are the most prominent features of the sun; medium size spots about the size of the earth. Sunspots form and disappear for days or weeks. Sunspots are the coldest part of the sun and usually appear in pairs. Sunspots occur when a strong magnetic field appears on the sun's surface and causes the area to cool, from 6000 ° C to 4200 ° C; the area appears as a dark spot. The darkest area at the center of the spots is called the umbra; this is where the strongest magnetic field. The less dark areas around the umbra are called the penumbra. Sunspot activity is an 11-year cycle. Sunspots are an indicator of magnetic activity in the sun. Magnetic fields in spots store energy that is thrown in flares. As a result, flares usually appear in cycles that resemble 11-year cycles. Sunspots usually occur in groups (usually as simple pairs) but sometimes in complex arrangements with many complex spots and shapes. This unusual area often produces flares. Space weather forecasters use the complexity and shapes of sunspots to predict flares — the more complex the groups of spots there are, the more likely a flare will occur there.

For more than 300 years, the average number of sunspots regularly varies in an 11-year cycle. Every 11 years, the polarity of the magnetic field in the solar hemisphere changes. So, the complete solar magnetic cycle is 22 years.

Answer:

Multicellular

Eukaryotic

Heterotrophs

Explanation:

Both cells of fungi and animals are eukaryotic meaning they have nucleus and organelles. They are multicellular organisms (meaning they are composed of many cells). Their cells are also heterotrophic meaning they depend on organic molecules for energy as opposed to plants that can make their food from abiotic factors. Fungi, however, digest their molecules extracellularly while animals do it intracellularly.

Which of the following statements best describes the role of adenylyl cyclase in the epinephrine signaling pathway?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

It accelerates the production of a second messenger.

Explanation:

Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme capable of converting ATP molecules into cyclic adenosine monophosphate AMP (cAMP). The cAMP molecule is considered to be a second messenger that transfers the hormonal signal (i.e., epinephrine) inside the cell. Subsequently, cAMP activates molecular signaling events by binding and thus activating cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). Finally, this last protein (PKA) phosphorylates different proteins that control many diverse cellular processes.

The population density of frogs in a portion of a pond is 12 frogs per square meter. The size of the entire pond is 370 square m

max2010maxim [7]

Given: The population density of frogs in a portion of a pond is 12 frogs per square meter. The size of the entire pond is 370 square meters.

To find: The total population size of the frogs in the pond.

Method: Using unitary method of proportions

Solution:

Let p be the density of the frogs present per square meter.

Let A denote the total area of the pond.

∴ p = 12 frogs/m² and A = 370 m²

The total number of frogs in the pond is given by,
