Ultraviolet sun rays it damages the cells and can cause skin cancer.
gayaneshka [121]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: ... in the UVB light exposure.

Explanation: When DNA is exposed to UVB radiation, thymine bases that are close to each other in the genetic sequence bond together, and this bond <u>cannot be copied</u> by the enzimes responsible for reproducing the genetic material. In the skin, it causes sunburns and stimulates the production of melanin. Luckily, DNA is only damaged by 0,1% of those UVB radiation photons, but even this percentege is enough to cause a sunburn anyway.

The generation of an action potential in a neuron requires the presence which type of membrane channels
valentina_108 [34]

The right answer is: voltage-gated channels

Ionic channels are membrane proteins that allow the selective passage of the cell membrane by ions (Na +, Ca2 +, K +, Cl-, ...) following the electrochemical gradients. They play a vital role in cellular excitability, triggering and propagation of action potential. They intervene in the coupling excitation-contraction and excitation-secretion. Ion channel selectivity is based on the adequacy of ion size and charges with the structure and amino acid sequence of the channels.

Among these channels, there are voltage-gated channels.

These are ion channels whose opening is activated by the membrane potential.

These dependent volumetric channels are characterized:

- by the selectivity of the ions (Ca2 +, Na +, K +, Cl-, ...)

- by their conductance

- by their activation domain (significant depolarization to low)

- by their kinetics of inactivation (slow, fast or transient)

Professional gardeners often soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide before planting them. Why?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Professional gardeners often soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide before planting them in order to increase the germination percentage or to reduce germination failure. When the seeds are soaked in hydrogen peroxide, the seed coat becomes soft and enzymes present in the seed becomes active. Due to soaking of seeds, the seed takes less time to germinate. So that's why gardeners uses this method.

During photosynthesis, plants capture light energy and form carbon-containing molecules, such as glucose. Which is not a use for
nlexa [21]

Answer:

During photosynthesis, plants capture light energy from the Sun to break weak bonds in reactants, such as carbon dioxide and water, and form carbon containing molecules, such as glucose. The carbon containing molecules can then be used:

✓ to assemble larger molecules, such as DNA, proteins, and fats.
