As distance west of kilauea increases the size of the islands generally appears to decrease. What is likely the reason for this

trend?
Biology
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]3 years ago
4 0

The reason is two fold, the first is the active volcano of Kilauea implies there is a lot of heat under the big island of Hawaii, and that heat causes the island to be buoyed up. However, the other islands do not have active volcanos, are colder, and have subsided, the 2nd is, because the volcanoes on the older islands are dormant, those islands are and are no longer growing and are steadily eroding away.

Explain why treehouses dont change in height as a tree grows
Dmitrij [34]
Treehouses are built on the stem and the three branches, which do not grow in length, only in width. Trees grow in length only in the area of the buds, which are located at the ends of branches. 
Maybe it is easier to understand this if you imagine that you put a small house replica on the palm of your hand and that your fingers are constantly growing from their tips.  So, the house on your palm would not move, only your fingers, (the analogy to the three top buds) would become longer.

Identify the substances that can readily pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane.
KIM [24]

Answer:

A,C E

Explanation:

The inner membrane of the mitochondria separate the matrix of the mitochondria from the cytosol(inner membrane space.). It is invaginated  folded inwards  to form the critae. This is an adaptive feature to increase the surface area for biochemical reaction in the mitochondria.

The invagination gives two compartments the inner mitochondria also creates the outer intermembrane space and the inner matrix

These are the substances that can pass freely the inner membrane of the mitochondria.Pyruvate and H+ can not pass through.Specifically,it is not preamble to H+ because, hydrogen ions are needed to generate the electrochemical gradients needed for the chemical energy  for phosphorylation of ADP by  P to form ATPs by the enzyme ATPase synthase.If the inner membrane is permeable to H+ the electochemical gradient will not be produced, and therefore ATPs productions stops.

O2 needs to pass through the inner membrane because it it the final electron acceptor. Therefore if not allowed to pass through oxidative phosphorylation  and ETC will nor occur.

CO2 must pass through because its accumulation will increase the acidity of the inner  mitochondria

If you found a vertebrate skull in the woods and the teeth were sharp and scissor-like, what type of food would you expect this
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: B) flesh of another animal

The shape of teeth is tightly connected with the food that animal eats.Examples:

• Herbivores (plant eaters) have flat teeth specialized for the grass chewing.

• Carnivores (flesh eaters) have long and sharp teeth for meat cutting.

• Omnivores (eat meat and plants) such as humans have various types of teeth with different functions.

There are four main types of teeth: incisors (at the front, sharp for cutting), canines ( to grip and tear food), premolars (flat surface for food crushing), molars (the biggest with flat biting surface, to chew).
