How is mass wasting different from other forms of erosion?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Examples of mass wasting are slides, falls, creeps, and flows.  Mass wasting processes are easily observable because they happen fast and suddenly and the changes are vividly evident in very short bit of time.   However, other methods of erosion such as mechanical and physical weathering occur very slowly and it would take many years for the changes associated wth their proceses to be vivid to the naked eye.

How do organisms interact with other living things
irinina [24]
“No man is an island.”This saying is also true for organisms in an ecosystem. No organism exists in isolation. Individual organisms live together in an ecosystem and depend on one another. In fact, they have many different types of interactions with each other, and many of these interactions are critical for their survival.

Filip, aged 64, was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. His medical reports will most likely reveal a diminished production of
UNO [17]

Answer:

Filip's medical report, diagnosed with Alzhaimer's, may reveal a diminished production of acethylcholine.

Explanation:

Alzhaimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that causes immediate memory loss, behavioral changes and cognitive impairment, due to neuronal alterations and atrophy.

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine —related to neuronal transmission and body movement— may experience a decrease in its production leading to Alzheimer's, according to the cholinergic hypothesis.

Many therapies and treatments at present are based on the use of drugs to correct the acetylcholine deficit.

Regarding other options:

  • <em>Dopamine: alteration or deficit is related to Parkinson's disease.</em>
  • <em>Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA): deficiency is not common and is related to a type of congenital and infantile neuropathy. </em>
  • <em>Serotonin: deficit of this neurotransmitter can lead to depression and psychological disorders.</em>

Protein synthesis consumes four high-energy phosphate bonds per added amino acid. Transcription consumes two high energy phospha
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

30 protein molecules per mRNA molecule

Explanation:

In this problem, it is necessary to have into account that the transcriptional process requires six (6) phosphate bonds to synthesize one (1) codon (i.e, each three nucleotides), and also discards 95% more energy to make mRNA, it means 19 times this amount of energy >> 6 x 19 = 114 bonds. In consequence, transcription requires 120 phosphate bonds (6 + 114 = 120), while translation requires four (4) phosphate bonds per codon. From this deduction, it is possible to find the number of protein molecules synthesized with regard to the energy cost of the translation process and the transcriptional process >>> 120 bonds (transcription) /4 bonds (translation) = 30 protein molecules.
