Stella [2.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Protons + Neutrons = Atomic Mass

Explanation:

Each Proton and Neutron weigh one  (amu) adding all the protons and neutrons together gives you the atomic mass. (Electrons count as the .0 and don't play much part. Just round to the nearest number.)

What drives global thermohaline (conveyor belt) circulation?
Sergeu [11.5K]
Hi the answer to your question would be, Theremohaline circulation is mostly driven by global density gradients created by surface heat. So, deep ocean currents are caused by the water's density, which is controlled by the temperature (greek word thermo) and salinity (haline). This is thermohaline circulation described. Now once the sea water gets more saltier and then ice forms some salt is left behind and then density increases & starts to sink. Now surface water comes in to replace the sinking water & the temperature drops and then it becomes cold & salty enough to sink. This initiates the deep ocean currents which drives the global conveyor belt. Let me know if you need me to explain more. Hope this helped :)

How many nucleotide bases are there in 24 codons? Show work, circle final answer
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases).

Blood cells are _____ in shape because they lack a nucleus.
sesenic [268]


Red blood cells are disc shaped. It is thought one factor that allows them to have this shape is because they do not have a nucleus. This tends to increase amount of space inside the cell for hemoglobin.

They have a flexible disc shape which helps increase the surface- to- area volume ratio  which enables oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse across the red blood cell's plasma membrane more readily.

Their disc shape also enables them to squeeze through tiny capillaries that are half their size .
