Why does summer receive more daylight hours than winter?

Biology
2 answers:
Andrews [41]3 years ago

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The amount of sunlight (daylight) earth receives is directly related to the tilt of the earth's imaginary rotation axis. The tilt of the earth is 23.5°. During the time of summer in the northern hemisphere, the tilt of the earth faces more towards the sun, and the sunlight is directly incident on it. So, the amount of daylight (or the duration of the day) is higher in summer.

On the other hand, during winter, the tilt of the sun faces opposite to the sun, so it receives a lesser amount of daylight, and so is cold during this time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

What experimental evidence is there for the origin of life hypotheses?
ololo11 [35]

"The earliest evidence of life on Earth comes from fossils discovered in Western Australia that date back to about 3.5 billion years ago. These fossils are of structures known as stromatolites, which are, in many cases, formed by the growth of layer upon layer of single-celled microbes, such as cyanobacteria. (Stromatolites are also made by present-day microbes, not just prehistoric ones.)

The earliest fossils of microbes themselves, rather than just their by-products, preserve the remains of what scientists think are sulfur-metabolizing bacteria. The fossils also come from Australia and date to about 3.4 billion years ago

Bacteria are relatively complex, suggesting that life probably began a good deal earlier than 3.5 billion years ago. However, the lack of earlier fossil evidence makes pinpointing the time of life’s origin difficult (if not impossible)."

Describe the function of the proteins embedded in the cell membrane
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Protein deeply embedded in the bilayer are called integral membrane proteins. Most of this integral membrane proteins span the whole bilayer and they are called Transmembrane protein.

Because many molecules and ions can not pass through the hydrophobic core of the cell membrane they need a carrier mediated transport to go in and out of the cell. Transmembrane protein serves as channels, receptors (hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitter), tissue specific antigens, ion channels, membrane based enzymes etc that moves in and out of the cell.
