1. What is the force behind mass movements?

Biology
2 answers:
Sergeu [11.5K]4 years ago

The correct options are as follows:
1.GRAVITY.
 Mass movement refers to the movement of surface materials such as soils, mud, rocks, etc down a slope. The force of gravity is responsible for pulling the materials down the slope. Mass movement usually occur along mountain side and hill side as a result of angle of repose of the land form involved.

2. MASS MOVEMENT ALWAYS LEADS TO LANDSLIDE.
This statement is not true, mass movement does not always result into landslides. Mass movement basically leads to bulk movement of earth surface materials from one location to another location. It can happen rapidly or gradually over a long period of time.

 3. THE ANGLE OF THEIR SLOPES IS GREATER THAN 40 DEGREE.
 The principal cause of mass movement is the slope angle of the land form concerned. If the angle is overly steep, that is, above 40 degrees, the force of gravity will pull the surface materials downward causing a mass movement.

4. SLUMP.
 Slump refers to the downward movement of large segments of earth surface, which occur when the base of a land form can no longer support the weight at the top of the land form. The sediments usually break off in one piece and water is usually one of the factors that lead to the break off.

 5. MUD FLOW.
 Mud flow refers to the type of mass movement that involves rapid, surging flow of materials that has been made liquefy by the addition of water. Mud flow usually contains large amount of clay, which makes it fluid in nature and enhances its ability to travel over long distances. Mud flow is usually made up of different materials which have different sizes.

6. EVAPORATED.
 Huge amount of water are usually evaporated from different water bodies on a daily basis as a result of heat from the sun. When the cloud become saturated with the evaporated water, the water is release back to the earth in form of rainfall. Thus, the amount of water evaporated from the earth surface and the amount of rainfall released to the earth are usually of equal amount.

7. VELOCITY.
 The velocity of a river refers to the speed with which the water body moves through its channels. Water velocity is usually highest near the surface and lowest near the bottom. The higher the velocity of a water body, the higher will be its ability to transport materials and the reverse is also true.

 8. GRADIENT.
<span>Gradient refers to the stream grade, which is measured based on the ratio of drop in elevation per horizontal distance. It is usually measured in meter per kilometer or feet per mile. A high gradient implies a steep slope and rapid flow of water while a low gradient translate to slowly moving water.</span>

Which can not take place during a chemical reaction
Oksanka [162]

In a chemical reaction, only the atoms present in the reactants can end up in the products. No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.

Which step in transcription occurs first?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

<em>Option 3 </em>: RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter.

Long Answer:

<h2>What is RNA? How is RNA produced?</h2>

RNA is a nucleic acid that is single stranded and comparable to DNA. DNA is also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, whereas RNA is short for ribonucleic acid. The word "ribo" in the name refers to the kind of sugar that makes up the nucleic acid backbone. Although RNA comes in a variety of forms, the three primary kinds all play crucial roles in the cell's translation of the DNA code into functional proteins. A copy of a gene's DNA sequence, known as messenger RNA, exits the cell's nucleus. A ribosome converts the sequence in the mRNA into a polypeptide (unprocessed protein). RRNA is used to make ribosomes (ribosomal RNA). The polypeptide's building blocks, amino acids, are joined to tRNAs (transfer RNAs). Transfer RNAs ensure that the right amino acid is delivered to the polypeptide that the ribosome is producing by matching with their complement bases on the mRNA.

<h2>What is transcription in biology?</h2>

Transcription is the biological process through which a complementary RNA strand is created using DNA as a template. This is the initial phase of either the creation of proteins or the transfer of information inside a cell. Genetic information is stored in DNA, which is subsequently used to transmit it to RNA during transcription and then control the synthesis of proteins during translation. Messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA are the three forms of RNA that may be produced (rRNA). Pre-commencement, initiation, elongation, and termination are the four phases of transcription. By attaching to a promoter region at the 5' end of a DNA strand, the RNA polymerase subunit starts pre-initiation, also known as template binding. The enzyme can access the template strand because the DNA strand is denatured, which separates the two complementary strands. Partner strand refers to the opposite strand. The DNA strand's promoter sequences are essential for the effective start of transcription.The identification of some of these motifs, including TATAAT and TTGACA in prokaryotes and TATAAAA and GGCCAATCT in eukaryotes, has been determined. Promoter sequences are particular sequences of the ribonucleotide bases making up the DNA strand (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine). These patterns are referred to as cis-acting elements. For RNA polymerase to more easily attach to the promoter region in eukaryotes, an extra transcription factor is required.

<h2>What is the process of transcription and translation within biology? What are some examples?</h2>

First, the double-stranded DNA unzips, and the mRNA strand generated (the sense transcript) will be complementary to the original strand of DNA (therefore containing particular codons/triplets of bases) and connected to the DNA through hydrogen bonds between complementary bases. Following this, the mRNA generated will separate from the DNA, exit the nucleus through a hole, and enter the cytoplasm. Then it will connect to a ribosome, which is where translation takes place. Specific amino acids are delivered to the ribosome via tRNA anticodons that are corresponding to the mRNA codons (as they have specific amino acid binding sites). When two tRNA molecules are present in the ribosome, they keep the amino acids in place while a condensation process creates peptide bonds between them to form a dipeptide. This procedure is repeated to create a polypeptide chain or protein by condensation polymerization, which has a certain primary structure because it contains a particular amino acid sequence or order. The translation step is now. Due to specific interactions (such as ionic bonds, disulfide bridges, covalent bonds, and hydrogen bonds) between particular R groups, this structure folds in a specific way, resulting in the secondary structure, which can be an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet, and then the functional tertiary (3D) protein, which has a specific structure and consequently a specific function. As a result, it influences a cell's structure and functionality, leading to its specialization. A quaternary structure can be created by making further changes to the tertiary structure. This happens when the tertiary structure is linked to another polypeptide chain (for example, collagen is a fibrous protein made up of three polypeptide chains wound around one another and joined by hydrogen bonds) or another non-polypeptide group via covalent bonding or London forces/permanent dipole forces/ion dipole forces to form a conjugated protein (for instance, the conjugated globular protein haemoglobin contains the prosthetic group Fe2+). Thus, some proteins with a particular structure and consequent function are generated during translation. These proteins alter the structure and function of the cell, leading to its specialization.

What categorizes a chromosomal disorder as a numerical or structural chromosomal disorders
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Numerical abnormalities are whole chromosomes that either have too many chromosomes the pair or is missing one. Meanwhile, structural abnormalities are where chromosomes duplicate or delete themselves, or it could also be two different chromosomes forming together awkwardly.

Which of the following would be expected to have the greatest impact on primary productivity?
AVprozaik [17]

Solar energy would have the greatest impact on the primary productivity.

Explanation:

The autotrophs are the primary producers which create organic compound by photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight.

The energy flow is initiated by autotrophs alone and energy flow in ecosystem is by the photosynthesis.

So the primary productivity depends upon the solar energy to perform photosynthesis and flow of energy in trophic level is maintained.

The organic compound as glucose is the source of energy for all consumers.

it is known that if primary productivity is imbalanced the whole food chain, trophic levels and ecosystem will be disturbed.
