What role does hot ion-rich water play in the process of metamorphism?

Biology
1 answer:
Anna [14]3 years ago

<span>Water flows downhill, eroding the host rock to make it smooth. Water cleanses the iron­bearing minerals, which helps to delineate the crystal faces. Water boils the rocks that it comes in contact with, causing them to liquefy and slowly cool and harden into a new, stable state. Water interferes with mineral crystallization, thereby delaying the process of metamorphism. Water migrates into host rock carrying ions to stable minerals in order to facilitate growth of new metamorphic minerals. </span>

Dna replication is called semiconservative because _______________ of the original duplex appears in the duplex formed in replic
finlep [7]
HALF.. This is a form of replication where two copies were produced each will contain one of the original strand and the other is a new copy. This happens because each nitrogenous base should pair with the complimentary partner, such as adenine with thymine and cytosine and guanine. DNA replication happens due to the action of enzymes. Each new strands will form an identical copy of the original DNA strand. There are various models proposed to explain how replication occurs. These are the conservative, semiconservative and dispersive.

Put the steps of the nitrogen cycle in order, starting with the step that
Pepsi [2]

Nitrogen Cycle steps:

N molecules breaking apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing food after plants use nitrogen-containing compounds.

The organic matter decays via decomposers

N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.

Explanation:

The nitrogen-fixing bacteria removes atmospheric nitrogen by fixing nitrogen through nitrification. The atmospheric nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants and hence has to be converted into nitrates. This conversion takes place by nitrifying bacteria present in leguminous plants.

Animals (herbivores) consume the plants that have absorbed nitrogen/

When these animals die, decomposing bacteria acts on the dead organic matter, decomposition takes place through ammonification, converting the organic nitrates into ammonia

The nitrates are converted back again to nitrogen by the action of denitrifying bacteria.  

The nitrogen thus formed is released to the atmosphere

The branch of biology known as evolutionary-developmental biology is the study of:_______.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

B) how changes in development underpin the evolution of  morphology.

Explanation:

Evolutionary developmental biology is the new field of research in biology which studies the combined relationship of the evolution and the developmental processes.

This interdisciplinary study compares the developmental biology in terms of evolution or in a way that how the developmental biology process evolved in the organism on the basis of studying the phenotypic features of the organisms.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
