Answer:

The warm water that the <em>ocean conveyor belt </em>carries northwards<em>, </em>releases

heat into the atmosphere, keeping western Europe warm.

Explanation:

The Ocean conveyor belt, also known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning

Circulation (AMOC), "starts" in waters between Greenland and Scotland, more than one thousand miles away, in the north-east Atlantic.

The <em>Atlantic conveyor belt, </em>moves warm water from the tropics, up north to western Europe.

Without it, in winters, the <em>UK, </em>could be 5C colder.

I hope it helps!

It affects it by the warm waters in the gulf stream. Making the temperature up near Great Britain and Ireland Portugal etc. Much more mild then it would be per say in Eastern Canada. It's mainly affected by the Gulf Stream having it's waters flow upwards towards the countries listed.

Both humans and monkeys have this. A VERY long time ago Humans had very small "strings" of skin. This skin has evolved over time and now there is a bone left. Monkeys are technically un-evolved humans. Good thing they stuck around.

Which statement is most accurate concerning how photosystem II compares to the electron transport chain (ETC) of mitochondria? I

nordsb [41]

The correct answer is: In both systems, ATP is produced by chemiosmosis.

Both of the processes, photosynthesis and electron transport chain in mitochondria use chemiosmosis (movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient) to produce energy or ATP (via ATP synthase). The movement of hydrogen ions across the thylakoid membrane in order to galvanize the production of ATP is equal to the movement of those ions across the inner mitochondria membrane. Electrons are accepted by NADPH in photosynthesis (but not FADH2 as in mitochondria).

Angiosperms and life on land Many aspects of the angiosperm life cycle make flowering plants particularly well-suited to life on

vova2212 [387]

<h2>Angiosperms </h2>

Explanation:

Angiosperms are the most diverse group of plants, some statements which reflect angiosperm adaptations to life on land:

Flowers attract animal pollinators carrying pollen from other plants of the same species
Fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds by wind or by animals that carry or eat the fruits
In many angiosperms, the male gametophyte contained in a pollen grain can be transported many miles away by wind or animal pollinators
Floral parts of the sporophyte protect the reduced female gametophyte from drying out and from UV radiation
Seeds protect and nourish plant embryos, and fruits protect the seeds
Seeds enable plant embryos to be dispersed long distances from the parent plant via wind or animals
