FrozenT [24]3 years ago

The phospholipid molecule is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic which allows it to organize into a bilayer with the hydrophobic tales tucked away and the hydrophilic head exterior. This bilayer is also semipermeable allowing some small molecules in for the cell to use

Why do pigs wallow in the mud?
MAXImum [283]

Answer: Option B

Pigs wallow in the mud to cool themselves down.

Explanation: Pigs' skin contains lots of fats, and fats serves as thermal insulator during cold (low temperatures); unfortunately, this feature turns becomes a disadvantage during heat (high temperatures). Hence, pigs frequently wallows in the mud (or any nearby cool water place) - to reduce their body temperature.

What effect does the Earth spinning on its axis have on winds and currents?
olasank [31]

Answer:

B) Global winds will move along a curved path and therefore cause ocean currents to curve.

Explanation:

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun.

Basically, the effect of the Earth spinning on its axis have on winds and currents is that Global winds will move along a curved path and therefore cause ocean currents to curve. As a result of the Earth's rotation on its axis, a phenomenon known as Coriolis effect arises. Coriolis effect occurs when circulating winds are deflected to the left in the southern hemisphere and to the right in the northern hemisphere.

Hence, rather than have this air circulating in a straight pattern, it is deflected to the left of the southern hemisphere and to the right of the northern hemisphere, typically in a curved path or pattern.

How does relative-age dating help scientists learn about fossils?
Marysya12 [62]
It basically allows them to see what time period it is from or from where it is from (they predict from the age). It also allows them to arrange geological events more accurately depending on where the rock was found.
