Answer;

-Latitude

Explanation;

-The distance, measured in degrees, north and south of the equator is referred to as latitude.

-Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. A circle of latitude is an imaginary ring linking all points sharing a parallel.

-The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator.

LATITUDE is the distance, measured in degrees, north and south of the equator. They are parallel lines to the equator.

<h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>
  • The equator is the imaginary line that divides the earth into two hemispheres - north and south. It is assigned as the reference point, hence, 0 degrees latitude. The point 90 degrees north of the equator is called the north pole and 90 degrees south of the equator is the south pole.
  • Longitude lines (also called meridians) are lines perpendicular to latitude lines and extend from the north pole to the south pole. They are measured in degrees based on the angle they make from the reference point which is the prime meridian.
  • The Prime Meridian is the imaginary line that is assigned 0 degrees longitude. It is the arbitrary line that serves as the reference point in determining the the western and eastern hemispheres. It passes through Greenwich, England.
  • The Arctic Circle has a latitude of 66.5 degrees North. It is the boundary of the Arctic Region. It passes through several countries including Canada, Finland, Greenland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and United States of America.

In a hemoglobin variant known as hemoglobin Kansas, an Asparaginein
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The false statement is option a.

Explanation:

If there occurs a disruption of a hydrogen bond, which usually stabilizes the R-state of hemoglobin, there is not likely to be an elevation in the concentration of R-state due to the unsteadiness of the hydrogen bond. The R-state would either remain constant or will get slow down.  

Thus, the statement, that is, in hemoglobin Kansas, there is an elevation in the concentration of R-state and a reduction in the concentration of T-state is false.

Increasing the number of stomata per unit surface area of a leaf when atmospheric carbon dioxide levels decline is most analogou
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Increasing the number of stomata per unit surface area of a leaf when atmospheric carbon dioxide levels decline is most analogous to a human

B. putting more red blood cells into circulation when atmospheric oxygen levels decline.

<h3>What are stomata?</h3>

The stomata are apertures in the epidermis, each bounded by two guard cells. There are small openings on the lower surface of the leaves. These pores are called stomata. Loss of water from the stomata creates an upward pull, that is suction pull, which helps in the absorption of water from the roots. That is helpful for the transpiration process. They help in exchange for gases. Any of the tiny pores or openings in the epidermis of leaves and young stems are referred to as a stomate, sometimes known as a stoma, the plural of which is stoma or stomas. On the underside of the leaves, stomata tend to be more numerous. They enable the exchange of gases between the atmosphere outside and the leaf's branching network of interconnected air canals.
