The seismic waves that travel through Earth’s interior are known as the P waves and the S waves, these seismic waves have differences, first the P waves compress and enlarge the foundations(rocks) as they move through it, while the S waves, shakes the particles of their medium up and down and side-by-side. P waves can travel through solid granite, magma, water or even air, while S waves can only travel through solids, they are unable to travel through fluids. The P waves are the fastest of all known seismic waves, it is the first seismic wave to register on the seismograph, while the S wave is the second one.

You have isolated a highly lethal toxin from an octopus that you have reason to believe binds with high affinity to the pore ope
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

To determine the effect of toxin binding, you perform a Competitive Binding Experiment

Explanation:

Competitive binding experiments are very relevant when matters relating to cellular and or molecular toxicity are concerned.

They are used to determine the binding of a single concentration of labeled ligand in the presence of various concentrations of unlabeled ligand.

They are important because:

1. Validate a direct binding assay

2. Confirm whether or not a drug binds to the receptor

3. determine and explore how low-affinity drugs and receptors interact and it's resultant effects

Explain why treehouses dont change in height as a tree grows
Dmitrij [34]
Treehouses are built on the stem and the three branches, which do not grow in length, only in width. Trees grow in length only in the area of the buds, which are located at the ends of branches. 
Maybe it is easier to understand this if you imagine that you put a small house replica on the palm of your hand and that your fingers are constantly growing from their tips.  So, the house on your palm would not move, only your fingers, (the analogy to the three top buds) would become longer.

True or false, most lakes grow larger over time due to erosion?
ipn [44]

Answer: False

A lake is a water body that is surrounded by land. The water in the lake comes from melting glaciers, rain, groundwater, rivers. Lake formation also occurs when a water body is restricted to it's natural flow. Erosion due to wind  and water will limit the life of lake. As, soil removed during landslides or mudslides from hills or mountains get settled as debris at the bottom of lake will cause water pollution. Also, soil coming from agricultural field through water will carry in it fertilizers ,which will promote excessive plant and algal growth in lakes therefore, oxygen content of lake water will decrease which lead to death of animals residing in lake hence, will ultimately lead to water pollution ,which will be responsible for limiting the life of lake.
