             <span> A supercell is a type of thunderstorm. Supercell thunderstorms have an intense rotating updraft. This rotating updraft is known as a mesocyclone. Supercell thunderstorms often produce large hail and tornadoes. Large hail is created by the very strong updraft of a supercell. The updraft is strong enough to keep water suspended aloft in the storm. This causes the water to freeze. As it starts to drop, it is caught in the updraft and sent back up into the storm. This repeats several times until the hail stone is too large for the updraft to keep aloft.

It takes a thunderstorm to produce a tornado. Thunderstorms are created when cold dry air from the north interacts with warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. Warm moist air rises as the cold dry air sinks. This can help create atmospheric instability.

Some tornadoes are formed from supercell thunderstorms. It is known that there is air underneath the storm that is rotating horizontally. When the updraft of the storm strengthens, with the help of inflow winds, the horizontal rotating air can be tilted into the vertical. If the rotation is strong enough, a lowering from the base of the storm cloud can form and make a wall cloud. Sometimes, the wall cloud can be rotating as well.If the updraft, downdraft, and rear flank downdraft are present, this can strengthen the rotation and can create a funnel cloud. If the rotation remains strong and eventually reaches the ground, then a tornado has formed. </span>

What are the end products of the electron transport chain?
solong [7]

The end products of electron transport chain are:

Water

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

Explanation:

  • Most of the free energy released during the oxidation of  glucose to CO₂ is retained in the reduced co-enzyme NADH and FADH₂, generated during the kreb's cycle.
  • Electron are released from these co-enzymes and are eventually transferred to an oxygen molecule to form water.
  • These transfer of electron from co-enzymes to oxygen molecule occurs through a series of protein complexes in the mitochondrial membrane. And the process is termed as Electron Transport Chain.
  • The large amount of free energy is released during the oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ is used in the production of ATP

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

here

Explanation:

In a negative feedback loop, an increase in a factor will result in a change in the body that'll reduce the value of this factor to the set point.

For example, an increase in the blood glucose levels after a meal will cause an increase in the levels of insulin in the blood which will lower the glucose levels.

However, in this example, an increase in the pressure generated by the fetus also increases the frequency of uterus contractions. So the more the pressure, the more the contractions.
