Answer:

d. Views could be used to make topographic maps of the area.

Explanation:

Satellite views helps the planners in choosing  a location for the airport because it provides topographic maps of the area which contains all information about natural features of that area such as roads, railways, power transmission lines, contours, elevations, rivers and lakes. So the satellite images provides a great help to the planners to find out suitable place for the airport.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate limiting reaction of aerobic respiration involves the phosphorylation of fructose phosphate by the enzyme phosphofructokinase. The rate at which this enzyme makes product is [increased, decreased] when ATP levels rise because the molecule ATP binds to an allosteric site on the enzyme and acts as a direct inhibitor. When ATP levels fall AMP binds to the allosteric site of phosphofructokinase. This interaction leads to an increase of cellular ATP, so that this is an example of a negative feedback loop.

these are protein that is divided into two classes which are  called large ans small Proteoglycans.

The large proteoglycans has a large number of highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan side-chains that tends to hold water and whereby making the tendon to resist compression while the  small proteoglycans are known to have a relationship with collagen fibrils which are known to regulate collagen fibril diameters. they help in signal regulation  usually  from the angle of intracellular compartments. the are known great for their large diversity especially in terms of different cores and different numbers of GAGs with different lengths and composition.

An easy way to calculate the amount of energy available at each level is to
Contact [7]

Answer:

Use the rule that 10% of the energy is transferred between layers.

Explanation:

Energy is transferred between layers of a food pyramid. That means that the  producers at the bottom of the pyramid (e.g. green plants) provide energy to the primary consumers (e.g. rabbits), which are eaten by and provide energy to the secondary consumers (e.g. foxes).

However, very little of the energy is actually transferred to the next layer, roughly 10%. So an easy way to calculate the energy available at each level is to calculate 10% of what was available from the previous level. So if there is 600 kJ available from the primary consumers, then 60 kJ are transferred to the secondary consumers
