1 answer:

5 0

1. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of the air surrounding the path of a lightning bolt. ... From the clouds to a nearby tree or roof, a lightning bolt takes only a few thousandths of a second to split through the air. The loud thunder that follows the lightning bolt is commonly said to come from the bolt itself.
2. thunderstorms mostly occur in rainforests. Some of the most powerful thunderstorms happen in the United States of America.

3. Cumulonimbus is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. If observed during a storm, these clouds may be referred to as thunderheads. Cumulonimbus can form alone, in clusters, or along cold front squall lines.

4. The air cools as it rises. Water vapor condenses and forms cumulus clouds. When condensation occurs, heat (latent heat/energy ) is released and helps the thunderstorm grow. At some point, condensation high in the cloud (now in the form of water droplets and ice) falls to the ground as rain.

In animal cells the mitochondrial electron transport chain is responsible for reoxidizing most of the nadh produced by oxidative

notsponge [240]

The answer is TRUE. Oxidative phosphorylation is usually a redox reaction in which energy is released and used to form ATP from ADP and Pi. Oxygen is the main electron acceptor. In eukaryotes, these redox reactions are carried out by a series of protein complexes (electron transport chain) within the inner membrane of the cell's mitochondria. NADH dehydrogenase or complex I is the first protein in the electron transport chain. The reaction that is catalyzed by this enzyme is the two electron oxidation of NADH by coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. those traits are from a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Homologous structures are the structure that may be superficially different or may do not share the same function but they are developmentally related to each other because homologous structures are derived from a common ancestor.

For example, wings of bats and forelimbs of birds are homologous structures which means they share a common ancestor. Divergent evolution is responsible for producing homologous structures. In divergent evolution, related species become more dissimilar. Therefore the correct answer is a.
