The rate of atmospheric CO2 has never been as low as today and the temperature / CO2 content relationship is still poorly understood Since the Earth existed, that is to say 4.567 billion years ago [1 ], if it is indeed a constant is that it never remained fixed as it was, and that it was constantly deeply modified in a rather random way. This concerns as much the internal processes (in particular the composition of the lithosphere and the variations of the mechanisms affecting the continental drift) as the external processes

Among the latter, the atmosphere has not ceased to vary completely, particularly with regard to its gaseous composition. All of these internal and external processes have continually 'telescoped' and have led to complex feedbacks at the root of the many climate changes observed in the geological record. To these parameters are also added those piloted at the extraterrestrial scale, among the most important are the activity of the Sun or the variations of the orbital parameters of our Planet (precession, obliquity, ecliptic). The result is an extremely complex combination of regular cumulative processes, irregular, linear or not, often chaotic, playing at all time scales and affecting at any time the climate that constitutes an answer. Physicists, chemists, biologists, geographers ... geologists try each one from his pre-square to unravel this skein particularly difficult to understand. The synergies between the disciplines are fortunately numerous and the climate system is gradually exposed through the geological time.

L'étude du climat actuel semble plus simple que celle des paléoclimats, il s'agit cependant également d'une situation complexe vu l'importance des paramètres mesurables et mesurés qui contribuent à établir la dynamique de notre atmosphère aujourd'hui. L'étude de l'atmosphère est donc bien un des points incontournables pour qui veut comprendre un système climatique, elle est en prise directe avec la partie interne de la Terre (exemple des volcans, de l'érosion continentale suite aux orogenèses ou formations des chaînes de montagnes…), avec la partie externe ou superficielle (exemple des océans, des forêts…) et la composante extraterrestre (exemple des flux des rayons galactiques cosmiques, des impacts de météorites …). Nombre de ces paramètres sont cernés de manière satisfaisante depuis que la Terre existe. Cette connaissance débute avec le modèle du ‘paradoxe du Soleil froid' ou hypothèse astronomique du Soleil pâle[2].

Les premières atmosphères, des réservoirs de gaz à effet de serre

Ce modèle d'évolution du Soleil prédit que sa luminosité était plus faible de 25 à 30% de l'Hadéen à l'Archéen, soit d'environ 4,6 à 4,0 Ga (Ga = milliards d'années). Si l'on considère que la Terre possédait durant cette période une atmosphère semblable à la nôtre il faudrait alors attendre 2 milliards d'années (donc jusqu'au début du Paléoprotérozoïque) pour que sa température de surface dépasse 0°C, la température initiale à 4,6 Ga étant comprise entre -43 et -23°C suivant le modèle du ‘paradoxe du Soleil froid'. La quasi-totalité des océans aurait dû être couverte de glace. Les géologues n'ont jamais relevé de trace de glaciation globale durant cette longue période excepté quelques glaciers locaux à 2,9 Ga (glaciation ‘pongolienne') et à 2,4 Ga (glaciation huronienne). Ils concluent bien au contraire à une période chaude comme en témoignent notamment la présence de cyanobactéries à 3,8 Ga[3] et d'un cycle érosif de l'eau déjà actif ayant mené à l'accumulation de petits cristaux de zircon il y a 4,4 Ga[4]. L'eau était donc déjà présente 160 Ma (= millions d'années) après la formation de la Terre et les températures océaniques déduites des isotopes de l'oxygène et du silicium mesurés sur des roches siliceuses variaient entre 30 à 50°C (Archéen et Paléoprotérozoïque) bien loin d'un climat qui aurait du être globalement très froid comme le laisserait supposer un ‘Soleil pâle' de faible luminosité.

How are DNA and RNA different in terms of function, # strands, and sugars?
goldenfox [79]

DNA is double-stranded while RNA is single stranded.  DNA contains thymine base whereas RNA contains uracil base.  RNA contains a ribose sugar while DNA contains a deoxyribose sugar.  The function of DNA is long term storage of generic info.  The function of RNA is for translating and transferring genetic code from the DNA to ribosomes to create proteins.

The myelin on myelinated neurons can be degraded or destroyed in diseases such as multiple sclerosis-a process called demyelinat
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

<h2>The speed of action potential propagation get slower down</h2>

Explanation:

Myelination is the process of generating myelin in neurons. In CNS,  oligodendrocyte make the  myelin sheath.

The main function of myelin is to increase the speed of electrical impulses  along the myelinated fiber.

Myelinated fibers lack voltage-gated sodium channels along the myelinated internodes,  having them only at the nodes of Ranvier though which the molecules moves.

Demyelination is the loss of the myelin sheath,  result due to some neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases, resulting in the decrease of the speed of action potential propagation.

Saltwater fish constantly drink water but still excrete concentrated urine to compensate for the water loss. They also have gill
SOVA2 [1]
They do not influence the salinity level in their environment, they maintain the salinity in their body. If they don't, osmosis will cause their cells to shrink due to the fact that the salinity in the cell is lower than outside the cell. This will make water leave the cells. So they need to get rid of excess salt all the time. Freshwater fish need to retain the salt in their bodies, otherwise the opposite will happen. Salinity level in the cell is higher than outside the cell and this causes influx of water which will make the cell build up turgor pressure. Ultimately they will explode. So fishes in both environments adapted to deal with osmosis.
