The correct answer is (B)

Yes, more solar radiation is absorbed by the oceans than by land. To understand this we have to understand solar radiation and absorption.

The earth is covered by 70% water thus the amount of solar radiation and absorption is influenced by water bodies and it also depend on the the physical state of water( solid or water). Now, the concept of reflection/radiation can be explained through albedo. Albedo is how reflective  a substance is. A substance with high albedo will reflect all the solar radiation, Land mass having high albedo reflects most of the solar radiation and similarly oceans having low albedo absorbs most of the solar radiation.

The answer is B. The ocean will absorb more water because the land reflects it back.

15. Which of the processes has more than one type of RNA involved?
erastova [34]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

Translation is the process by which mRNA is decoded and translated to produce a polypeptide sequence, otherwise known as a protein. This method of synthesizing proteins is directed by the mRNA and accomplished with the help of a ribosome, a large complex of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and proteins. In translation, a cell decodes the mRNA’s genetic message and assembles the brand-new polypeptide chain. Transfer RNA, or tRNA, translates the sequence of codons on the mRNA strand. The main function of tRNA is to transfer a free amino acid from the cytoplasm to a ribosome, where it is attached to the growing polypeptide chain. tRNAs continue to add amino acids to the growing end of the polypeptide chain until they reach a stop codon on the mRNA. The ribosome then releases the completed protein into the cell.
