Answer:

A. Earth's gravitational force is stronger

Explanation:

The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth.

The Earth and Moon compare in terms of gravitational force as Earth's gravitational force is stronger than the Moon's.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is the attractive force between two objects separated by a distance. The magnitude of gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them.

In this case, the gravitational force acting on us due to Earth will be considered due to the mass of Earth as the mass of Earth is very large compared to our mass.

$F=\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

So as the mass of the Earth is greater than the mass of the moon, so the gravitational force of Earth will be stronger than that of Moon.

In a mitochondrion, if the matrix ATP concentration is high, and the intermembrane space proton concentration is too low to gene

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

ATP synthase will hydrolyze ATP and pump protons into the intermembrane space.

Explanation:

Under normal conditions, the intermembrane space of mitochondria has higher proton ion concentration than the matrix. The inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to protons. The concentration gradient drives pass movement of protons through proton channels and the energy is used to drive the synthesis of ATP. The synthesized ATP molecules are released in the matrix.

If the matrix has higher ATP concentration and the proton concentration in intermembrane space is low, ATP synthase would use the energy of hydrolysis of ATP to pump protons from matrix towards intermembrane space. These conditions would not support ATP synthesis.

Describe the characteristics of the major terrestrial biomes

iris [78.8K]

There are eight major terrestrial biomes: tropical rainforests, savannas, subtropical deserts, chaparral, temperate grasslands, temperate forests, boreal forests, and Arctic tundra. Biomes are large-scale environments that are distinguished by characteristic temperature ranges and amounts of precipitation

What temperature pattern do the isotherms show? temperatures increase from south to north. there is a zone of low temperatures i

777dan777 [17]

The temperature pattern which is being shown by the isotherms is that: D. temperatures increase from the center of the country toward the Southwest.

<h3>What is an isotherm?</h3>

An isotherm refers to a line that is drawn on a map to join points that are having the same temperature, in order to show the distribution of temperature in a geographical area on Earth's surface.

Based on the weather map in the image attached below, we can infer and logically deduce that temperatures typically increase from the center of the country toward the Southwest.
