Which field of earth science seeks to understand why Jupiter's moon has so many active volcanoes?

Biology

Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Jupiter's fifth moon, Io, is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. Plumes of sulfur spew upward as high as 190 miles. The surface of Io is splotched with lava lakes and floodplains of liquid rock.

Astronomers have mapped about 150 volcanoes on the moon, some of which blast lava 250 miles (400 km) out into space. There are volcanoes all over Io's surface, and as scientists perform observations they still occasionally see new hotspots pop up. For example, NASA's Juno spacecraft, which is currently orbiting Jupiter, found a possible new hotspot on Io on Dec. 16, 2017.(k r

As described in lecture, cells form actin filaments in particular regions of the cell in part because they nucleate filament for
LenKa [72]
<h2>e) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Cap Z is a capping protein which controls the access to the free barbed ends of actin filaments and is therefore a major factor affecting actin filament elongation
  • Capping proteins have a high affinity for barbed ends and their micromolar concentration in the cytoplasm ensures that most barbed ends are capped
  • Depletion of capping protein promotes increased filament assembly away from the leading edge in migrating cells
  • Cap Z helps favor actin assembly by preventing the loss of actin subunits to the barbed end and also prevent annealing of severed or de-branched filaments and they block both the association and dissociation of subunits at the barbed end
