Water cycle affects ocean salinity on different levels.

For example, evaporation of ocean water increases the salinity of the ocean, while precipitation and melting of ice decrease it, achieving the balance. Temperature, salinity and water cycle are tightly connected. As global temperatures rises, evaporation increases, and so the salinity. Salty ocean has a tendency to sink. On the other hand warmer ocean rises to the surface and this has influence on ocean currents which then impact the weather.

Where does nad+ deliver electrons compared to fad in cellular respiration?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "NADH delivers its electrons to complex I and FADH₂ deliver its electrons to complex II" in cellular respiration.

There are mainly four complexes associated with electron transport chain of cellular respiration.

Complex I or NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase is the complex at which NADH is oxidized to form NAD⁺. The free electrons are transported with the help of ubiquinone.

Complex II or succinate dehydrogenase is the complex associated with oxidation of FADH₂ to FAD⁺. It also transports the free electrons with the help of the ubiquinone pool.

Complex III or cytochrome bc1 complex transport free electrons from ubiquinone to the cytochrome C which is a water-soluble electron carrier.

Complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase transport the free electrons to oxygen to form water.

Prokaryotes can exchange genes with each other. True or False.

makvit [3.9K]

Given Question:

Can prokaryotes exchange genes with each other?

Answer: True

Explanation:

By the process of conjugation, their DNA is transferred from one prokaryote to another by means of a pilus, which brings the organisms into contact with one another. The DNA transferred can be in the form of a plasmid or as a hybrid, containing both plasmid and chromosomal DNA.

Hello! THere are many differences between a grassland and a savanna. For one, a savanna is a grassland, however, A savanna is usually very dry. A savanna also has very few trees, while grasslands can be plush with many trees. Grasslands could also be in mountains while savannas are vast dryer lands with animals who live in dry weather. Grasslands also contain a lot of water sources like lakes, rivers, ponds, and savannas usually don't. Those are just a few o the many differences between them!
