How are sand grains transported by the wind?

Biology
1 answer:
Airida [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option B, by saltation in the first few meters above the land surface

Explanation:

In the process of saltation, sand is carried by air and the sand grains remains suspended for a small distance till the fall down. These sand grains form a parabolic trajectory before falling down. The other characteristics such as height and time of suspended grains depends on grain size, shape, and density, lift  & drag force and characteristics of wind such as velocity and turbulence.  

Hence, option B is correct

Which of the following events takes place in the electron transport chain?A) the breakdown of glucose into two pyruvate molecule
castortr0y [4]

The correct answer is: C) the extraction of energy from high-energy electrons remaining from glycolysis and the citric acid cycle

Electrons from electron carriers (NADH and FADH from glycolysis and citric acid cycle) donate electrons to the electron transport chain and that causes changes in protein complexes of electron transport chain. As a consequence, protein complexes pump H+ across a selectively permeable cell membrane from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space of mitochondria.  H+ can only get back and pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane with the help of ATP synthase (down their electrochemical gradient). ATP synthase turned by the force of the H+ diffusing through it forms ATP by adding a phosphate to ADP. This type of ATP synthesis  is called oxidative phosphorylation and it is based on chemiosmosis-movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane.

The cells in the meristematic region of the root are undergoing
tangare [24]

The answer is d. mitosis.

The cells in the meristematic region of the root are embryonic cells. Thus, these undifferentiated cells have the capacity to undergo continuous mitotic divisions and divide into new cells. The meristematic region of the root contains meristem cells for the root growth.

When a peptide hormone reaches its target cell, which event happens next?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
<span> They are unable to pass through the plasma membrane and have different methods of action. They attach to their receptors in the target cell surface and influence activity within the cell through cytoplasmic intermediates called second messengers. </span>

<span>The two most important messengers are cAMP and inositol triphosphate. </span>

<span>Cyclic AMP: ATP is converted into cAMP after a series of reactions on the plasma membrane following the attachment of the hormone to the membrane. cAMP relays the signal from the membrane to the metabolic machinery of the cytoplasm. </span>

<span>Inositol Triphosphate: Involves the use of Ca+2 that regulates cellular protein activity.
