Answer:

The most appropriate unit for measurement of water conserved or stored is the acre-foot , if the conserved volume is low then the ideal unit is cubic foot.

Explanation:

  • One acre corresponds to 43560 square feet area
  • Likewise 1 acre-foot will be equal to 43560 cubic feet
  • In terms of gallon 1 acre-foot corresponds with 3,25,851 gallons of water.
  • In terms of cubic meter, 1 acre-foot is equal to 1233 cubic meters of water
  • As the above conserved water is pertaining to household reserve so 1 cubic -foot would be ideal unit for measurement.
  • 1 cubic foot corresponds to 7.4805 unit  of water in gallons.

URGENT PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nuclear energy is generated by initiating a process called nuclear fission (the splitting of atoms).  Very large atoms like Uranium are unstable and release a lot of energy when split apart. They also release neutrons which will then fly around and split up other uranium atoms, releasing more energy and more neutrons and the cycle continues. This chain reaction generates A LOT of energy. The energy is then used to heat up water into steam. The steam flows through pipes and into a turbine, spinning the turbine around (just like wind does to a wind mill). As the turbine spins around it powers a generator to create electricity, which can then be harnessed and distributed.

What role do insulator sequences play in the regulation of eukaryotic transcription? See Section 13.1 (Page 479) . What role do
Airida [17]

Answer:

D. They block communication between enhancers and non-targeted promoters

Explanation:

Insulator sequences are the group of DNA sequences that protect the protein-coding regions of the DNA from the surrounding regulatory sequences. Some insulator sequences are present between the enhancers and promoters of a gene. These insulator sequences do now allow these enhancers to regulate the expression of genes by sending inappropriate signals.

However, if the insulator sequences are not present between the enhancers and promoters of certain genes but are located somewhere else, enhancers can upregulate the expression of these genes.
