<span>The Leeward side of a mountain range is in fact in a rain shadow. A rain shadow is an area of elevation where little to no rain falls, due to precipitation being forced out of passing clouds on the windward side of the mountain. Precipitation condenses as clouds rise over the mountain, and in general it precipitates as it crests over the mountain, leaving no moisture for the leeward side. An example of this is the American west, just west of the Rockies, where little to no rain falls.</span>
Answer:
Option A, the liquid level in a capillary tube will drop below the surrounding liquid and the surface in the capillary tube will have a convex meniscus.
Explanation:
A liquid will wet the surface of the container in which it is contained only when the adhesive forces between the molecules of the liquid are weaker than the adhesive force between the surface wall of the container and water.
A convex meniscus is formed when the attractive forces between the molecules of liquid (cohesion) becomes greater than attractive forced between the water molecule and the container's surface (adhesion)
Convex meniscus simultaneously move the surface of the liquid in the downward direction due to which its level become lower than the surrounding layer.
Hence, option A is correct
Answer:
C. Succinate is the substrate, and fumarate is the product.
Explanation:
Succinate is the substrate of the enzyme Succinate dehydrogenase, and as a product is obtained fumarate. In this scenario, malonic acid plays the role of a competitive inhibitor because its structure resembles the succinate's, so they compete for the active site of the enzyme. So, A option is wrong because fumarate is not the product. B option is wrong too because malonic acid is an inhibitor, not the substrate. Also, D is incorrect because malonic acid is a COMPETITIVE inhibitor, not a noncompetitive one. Finally, E can´t be true because malonic acid is not product and fumarate is the product, not an inhibitor.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Xeroderma pigmentosum arises as a result of the cell being unable to correct lesions induced by UV. This can be as a result of mutations in the enzymes which include XP A-E needed for correction of the lesions. Failure to correct these lesions leads to their accumulation and then damage to the cell.
