Answer:

The stratosphere and the thermosphere

Explanation:

Stratosphere and thermosphere are the atmospheric layers. The atmospheric layers are varies in temperature due differential absorption of solar radiation. The stratosphere is the second major atmospheric layer, extends up 50 km above the planet's surface. Ozone layer in this layer plays the major role in the thermal regulation by absorbing ultraviolet radiation.

Above mesosphere, the thermosphere is located. The temperature in the thermosphere is very high (600- 2000°F) this is due to the absorption of intense solar radiation.

How should the unknown microscopic organism be classified as a prokaryote or a eukaryote

ratelena [41]

The main difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. The nucleus is where cells store their DNA, which is the genetic material. The nucleus is surrounded by a membrane. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Instead, their DNA floats around inside the cell.

For the gene encoding the first protein listed, what does the number 22,877 indicate?

vredina [299]

The table given in the figure below reflects the data being referred to (from the book: <em>Campbell Biology Australian and New Zealand Edition </em>by Reece, et al. (2014)).
The number 22,877 of the gene that encodes the first protein with the protein ID 298599 indicates that the amount of the RNA transcript of this gene made in the mycorrhizal parts of the fungus was 22,877 times higher when they were associated with the Douglas fir compared to those made in soil mycelium away from the root of the plants.
