<span>There are two types of modern wind turbines. In a Verical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs), the shaft is mounted on a vertical axis perpendicular to the ground. They are aligned with the wind so there’s no adjustment necessary when the wind direction changes. It can’t start moving on itself that is why it needs a boost from its electrical system to get started. It uses wires for support so the rotor elevation is lower. They are less efficient than HAWTs due to its lower elevation. Lower elevation means slower wind due to ground interferences. The other type is Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs), the shaft s mounted horizontally parallel to the ground. It is constantly aligned with the wind using a yaw-adjustment mechanism. This mechanism moves the entire rotor left or right in small increments. It uses a tower to lift the turbine components to an optimum elevation for wind speed and take up very little ground space. It is much more efficient than VAWT. The motion that converts into electricity is the rotor. The answer is letter D.</span>

How much protein should Sarah add to her diet if she gets pregnant?Sarah's protein requirements during pregnancy would be higher

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Sarah should add 19 grams of protein to her diet if she gets pregnant.

Explanation:

Daily protein requirements = body weight in x conversion factor

Pregnant women= 1.1g/kg prepregnancy body weight

Sarah's prepregnancy weight= 132 pound

Sarah should add about 19 grams of protein to her diet to account for the higher protein requirements of pregnancy. That’s only about 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Pregnancy might be the time to switch to these “twice the protein” products.

Oliga [24]

Answer: The maximum number of amino acids that could be coded is 2

Explanation:

A codon in this microorganism is 2 bases instead of 3 bases .
In order to encode a protein a sequence requires a start and stop codon

If you assume no start codon: then only 2 bases would make up the stop codon.

This leaves 4 bases which is 2 codons. This would encode 2 amino acids.

If you assume a start and stop codon, then each codon would be allocated 2 base pairs each = 4 base pairs
This only leaves 2 base pairs, a single codon which would only code for 1 amino acid

<h3>What does a biological system mean?</h3>

A biological system is a collection of organs that cooperate to carry out a certain task. For instance, the circulatory system transports nutrients and waste products to and from the body's cells, while the skeletal system protects and supports the body.

Cells, organelles, macromolecular complexes, and regulatory pathways are examples of biological systems that exist on the micro to nanoscopic scale. A living system, such as an organism, should not be confused with a biological system.

The aim of systems biology is to understand vastly complex biological systems in a way that enables us to model and predict how they will behave.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Speciation results in biodiversity.

Explanation:

This phylogenic tree shows the changes in bacterial species from the ancestral species to the most current split in the modern classification system. This tree supports the theory that <u>speciation results in biodiversity</u>. As we know speciation is the terminal source of the latest species, in a similar way, that modification is the terminal source of genetic divergence within species (and extirpation is comparable to lack of alleles). Inequities in the movements of speciation are therefore expected to provide large scale biodiversity exemplars.
