Answer:

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) is the first of NOAA's next generation of geostationary weather satellites. Among the many missions of this satellite, it will collect ocean and climate data.

Explanation:

Using satellites, NOAA researchers closely study the ocean. Information gathered by satellites can tell us about ocean bathymetry, sea surface temperature, ocean color, coral reefs, and sea and lake ice. Scientists also use data collection systems on satellites to relay signals from transmitters on the ground to researchers in the field—used in applications such as measuring tidal heights and the migration of whales. Transmitters on satellites also relay position information from emergency beacons to help save lives when people are in distress on boats, airplanes, or in remote areas.

MAIN IDEA: Life depends on hydrogen bonds in water. Choose whether the statement is true or false. 1. true / false Polar molecul

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3.True

Explanation:1. Polar molecules have two regions but the regions are with a partial +tive charge and a partial -tive charge

2. Water is a polar molecule because of the partial +tive and partial -tive charge hence it dissolves polar solute(solute with ions)

3.The more electronegative region bonds with an electrophile to form a weak bond(Hydrogen bond)

What do you think would have the greatest effect on the body—a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the complete question is: What do you think would have the greatest effect on the body—a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell, or a harmful mutation in an adult multipotent stem cell?The correct answer is a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell.

Explanation:

Pluripotent Stem Cells can self-renew and differentiate into any of the three germ layers, which are: the ectoderm, the endoderm and the mesoderm. These three germ layers subsequently differentiate to form all the tissues and organs within a human being. If during embryonic development, genetic mutations - alterations in genes - occur in the embryonic stem cell, they pass to daughter cells as a consequence of cell division, and an individual is generated whose cells differ at the genetic level. Multipotent stem cells are organospecific cells, that is, they can give rise to any type of cells but from a specific organ (a lung, a kidney or the brain). Their differentiation ends the moment they specialize and become a cell with a specific function within a specific tissue or organ. If there were a mutation in these cells, it would damage a specific designed tissue or organ.

Cellular respiration “ adds or removes” carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

zimovet [89]

Answer:

'Adds' is the correct option

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration.

Explain the rock cycle of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks?

Paha777 [63]

Igneous - A rock formed by the cooling and crystallization of magma (molten rock) at or below the Earth's surface. Sedimentary - A rock formed as a result of the weathering process, either by compaction and cementation of rock mineral fragments, or the precipitation of dissolved minerals.
