Rainfall is measured as depth on the surface of the Earth, typically in mm. We know the volume of water in the rain gauge: 1414 cubic centimetres. We know need to know the area of the Earth that this volume fell on. This would be the area of the funnel opening that points up to the sky to catch the rain. We know the diameter is 24 cm. So we need to determine the area of a circle with a diameter of 24 cm. The equation to use is: area = pi * radius^2. Since the radius of a circle is half the diameter, the equation is:

So area is <span>3.14159 * 12^2

= 452.39 cm^2
Volume = depth * area
depth = volume/area
depth = </span>1414/452.39
= 3.13 cm = 31.3 mm

Is the correct order in a homeostatic feedback system stimulus, receoptor, control centre, effector?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Correct

Explanation:

Homeostatic is nothing but ability of a system or living organism to manipulate its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium, for example the ability of warm-blooded animals to ascertain a constant body temperature.

The Homoeostatic feedback mechanism has three basis components and they are independent to one another.

These components are receptor, effector and integrating center. The function of receptor is to sense external stimuli and send information to integrating center. The integrating center generally hypothalmus in brain sends this signal to effector for example an organ to react to the stimuli.

So, the order  in a homeostatic feedback system stimulus, receoptor, control centre, effector is correct.

What is the function of helicase in dna replication? see concept 16.2 (page 322)?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The function of Helicase in the process of DNA replication is to untwist the double helix and separating the two DNA strands. This action of helicase creates the replication forks and replication bubbles where the process of replication is initiated. Their main role is the separation of double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied during the process of replication. It may also function in other cellular processes where the double-stranded DNA must be separated, including transcription and repair. <span />

What is the basic unit of a nucleic acid and what is it made of?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
The basic repeating unit of nucleic acids are known as nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of three distinct chemical groups, a 5-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a nitrogen-rich base - (cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) instead of T (in RNA), and phosphate.
