Describe how surface currents in gyres redistribute heat between the equator and the poles.

1 answer:

6 0

Warm surface currents flow out of ocean gyres from the tropics to higher latitudes, and cold surface currents flow from colder latitudes toward the equator. The oceans redistribute heat from high to low latitudes by moving warm water from the equator toward the poles.

Why is the term "food web" more appropriate than "food chain" in referring to the energy relationships among the species of a co

BaLLatris [955]

Food web is more appropriate because of how wide spread the animal kingdom is, there are many predators for many different animals. For example, if a rabbit is killed by a wolf and the wolf eats a part of the carcass and leaves it, soon other scavengers will come and eat the remains, which then spans out into a web of animals, which allows us more data than what a chain may give us to visualize.

Dimas [21]

Tryptophan self-controls its synthesis. If we have a large amount of tryptophan in the sense that it exceeds, tryptophan would act as a co-repressor which prevents synthesis of more enzymes for its production. Hope this answers the question.

The letter X in the diagram below represents what enzyme used in the process shown?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Option D. RNA polymerase.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process which is used to produce RNA from a DNA template.
The enzyme involved in the process of transcription is RNA polymerase which is responsible for separating the DNA strands and making an RNA which is complementary to the DNA.
RNA polymerase joins the nucleotides in the newly formed RNA strands by utilizing the energy released from the cleavage of the additional phosphate bonds that are removed by it.
The RNA polymerase dissociates from the DNA only after the process of transcription is complete.
