Convection currents transfer thermal energy from warmer to cooler region.

Option C

<u>Explanation</u>:

Thermal energy is transferred by convection from hot places to cold places. It is form of "kinetic energy" that is transferred as heat. When the hot liquid or gas becomes cool liquid or gas then convection happens. Then the cooler gas or liquid will goes to the place of hotter gas or liquid. This results in a "continuous circulation sequence".

"Water boiling" in a beaker is one of good examples of these "convection currents". Atmosphere is also example of convection. The Earth surface gets heat by sun the warm or hot air rises and cool air moves in. Other options are incorrect as thermal energy transfers from warm to cool places by convection.

Most organisms can be divided into two categories - prokaryotes and eukaryotes. What is the main difference between these two ca
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The main difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cell is that, eukaryotes contain membrane bound organelles like nucleus where as prokaryotes do not. The genetic material is present at the center and is called nucleoid in prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Example of prokaryotes include bacteria and archea bacteria. Examples of eukaryotes include plants and animals. Prokaryotes lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic resticulum and lysosomes which are present in eukaryotes. Both the groups contain ribosomes but its 70s ribosome in prokaryotes and 80s ribosomes in eukaryotes.

The main function of the small intestine is nutrient absorption. Which of the following structural qualities of the intestine in
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option a and b.

Explanation:

The food is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, a long folded tube which lengths about 20 ft or 6m.  

The small intestine increases the surface area for food absorption as they have circular folding as well as the finger-like projections called villi and microvilli in the lumen of the intestine. These villi help in absorption of the nutrients from the intestine.

Thus, option a and b are the correct options.

gHow would an inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase affect glucose mobilization in muscle? It would reduce cAMP levels and inhibit
Ksivusya [100]
<h2>cAMP and glucose mobilization</h2>

Explanation:

It would maintain high cAMP level and elevate glucose mobilization

  • Phosphodiesterase is an effector enzyme which degrades secondary messenger cAMP(cyclic adenosine monophosphate)
  • Here in this case an inhibitor is inhibiting the phosphodiesterase therefore cAMP level will increase
  • As cAMP level rise it activates a protein called protein kinase A which phosphorylates phosphorylase kinase and activates it
  • Phosphorylase kinase becomes active that phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase and makes it active,glycogen phosphorylase catalyse breakdown of glycogen(in liver and muscle cells)
  • In liver cells breakdown of glycogen occurs and glucose 1 phosphate gets converted into glucose and supplied to whole body through blood
