Answer:

  1. Cold currents
  2. Warm currents.

Explanation:

Sea currents, in a simplified form, are the streams of water with common characteristics that move along the oceans. As temperature is one of the main factors related to this ocean water dynamics, it is used as a criterion for the classification of ocean currents. Thus, the currents are divided into warm and cold.

Warm currents: They come from the equatorial ranges of the planet, where the heat stroke is higher and the temperatures too. These characteristics make them more shallow and move faster than other currents. In them, the evaporation rate is higher, which causes the areas bathed by them to receive a greater amount of moisture. The main warm currents are the Guyana, Gulf of Mexico and Brazil currents.

Cold currents: Conversely, cold currents come from polar bands with high latitudes and are therefore colder. They move toward the Equator Line. Because cold substances are naturally denser, these currents tend to be deeper and move more slowly. Similarly, the evaporation rate is lower, making the surrounding areas receive less moisture and rainfall. The main cold currents are those of Humboldt, on the west coast of South America, and the Antarctic Circumpolar.

Which of the following is a plant structure that is involved in asexual production?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

2. Tuber

Explanation:

Reproduction is the process by which living organisms multiply themselves. They do this through two major ways namely: asexually and sexually. Sexual reproduction involves two organisms (male and female) that each donate a gamete (sperm and egg). In plants, the sexual reproductive structure is the FLOWER. The male flower is called STAMEN, while the female flower is called PISTIL.

However, plants can also be propagated asexually by making use of certain plant parts including tubers, leaf etc. TUBER is a structure in plant specifically used to asexually reproduce plants like yam, potato, cassava etc.

spin [16.1K]

Step 1. mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus, exits to the cytosol through, and binds to a ribosome.

Step 2. Protein synthesis occurs at the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Step 3. The protein travels by vesicle from one organelle to another inside the cell.

Step 4. The Golgi apparatus processes, sorts, and tags the protein for delivery to its final destination.

Step 5. Exocytosis.

The Sun has a part in many natural processes on Earth, such as _____.
sammy [17]
All of the above, here's an explanation. The sun helps the water cycle due to evaporation which causes it to turn into a steam/gas. Now for wind, it's because the sun heats up the air and causes thermal energy which later turns into wind. And finally, weather, obviously the sun evaporates water which causes it to be rainy/drowsy.
