What is the difference in the beginning between primary succession amd secondary succession
lianna [129]
Primary succession is when, for example, a volcano explodes and there is nothing left and even the soil is ruined. It would take at least a hundred years for the land to be like it was before the volcano erupted. Secondary succession is when, for example, a wild fire happens but the soil is not ruined. It would take at least 25-50 years for the land to be like it was before the fire.

Use the principles of diffusion to explain why oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung go into the blood
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung diffuse into the blood because the concentration of oxygen in the lung's tissues is more than the concentration of oxygen in the blood.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration of the molecule to the region of lower concentration of the same molecule. Molecules in diffusion move <em>downward the concentration</em> <em>gradient</em> created by difference in concentration between two regions until an <em>equilibrium (equal concentration in the two regions)</em> is established.

Oxygen molecules diffuse into the tissues of the lung when an organism breathes-in during the process of breathing. The molecules in the now oxygen-rich tissues eventually start diffusing into the blood in the lung because the blood passing through the lung is always de-oxygenated or has lower oxygen concentration compared to the tissues of the lung.

Oxygenated blood moves into the heart, pumps round the body by the heart, gets depleted of oxygen and eventually find its way back to the lung where the process is repeated.

Diffusion of oxygen from the tissues of the lung into the blood will keep happening as long as oxygen keeps getting dissolved into the lung's tissues and an equilibrium is yet to be established between the tissues and the blood.

Adenine in DNA is complementary to
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

DNA is also called deoxyribonucleic acid which is made up of two chains which wind around each other to form a double helix model. The 2 DNA strands are also called polynucleotides and they are made up of monomeric units known as nucleotides. These nucleotides are made up of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases: cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine, a phosphate group, and sugar known as deoxyribose.  

Nitrogen bases present on the two separate polynucleotides strands are bound together with the help of base pairing (such as adenine with Thymine) and with hydrogen bonds to form double-stranded DNA.

So, adenine in DNA is complementary to thymine.

sergey [27]

A eukaryotic chromosome consists of histones.

<h3>Properties of eukaryotic chromosome</h3>

Eukaryotes posses pairs of linear of chromosomes and they are all contained in the nucleus of the cell, possessing characteristic forms.

Eukaryotic chromosomes consists of histones which are condensed and DNA surrounding nuclear proteins.

Therefore, a eukaryotic chromosome consists of histones.
