Antarctic soil differs from other soil because it is formed from volcanic rocks

Answer:

The principal difference is the amount of organic content in the soil

Explanation:

In warm places of the world there is a lot of life, there we can find big forests where are living thousands of animals and plants; when this organisms die they rest on the ground and start a descomposition until become part of the soil. This kind of soil is very dark, almost black, is humid and very rich in nutrients and minerals.

The Antartic weather doesn't allow a lot of life to be there and for that reason its soil has a poor amount of organic content. Besides, the climate there is considered dry and its soils have not enough amount of water.

There are differences related with the rocks under the soil, but actually we have all kind of rocks all over the world, so it is not the most important difference.

Put the following steps in the correct order from 1-9

storchak [24]

Answer:

transcription of mRNA from DNA

small ribosomal subunit binds to mRNA

initiation complex formed with addition of large ribosomal subunit

translocation

codon recognition (non-initiating site)

peptide bond formation

ribosome reads a stop codon

polypeptide chain is released from the P site

ribosomal subunits dissociate

Explanation:

The above describes the process of translation in the ribosome. After transcription of DNA to mRNA, the mRNA is taken to the ribosome to undergo translation, here the mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subuits and to other initiation factors; binding at the mRNA binding site on the small ribosomal subunit then the Large ribosomal subunits joins in.

Translation begins (codon recognition; initiating site) at the initiation codon AUG on the mRNA with the tRNA bringing its amino acid (methionine in eukaryotes and formyl methionine in prokaryotes) forming complementary base pair between its anticodon and mRNA's AUG start codon. Then translocation occurs with the ribosome moving one codon over on the mRNA thus moving the start codon tRNA from the A site to the P site, then codon recognition occurs (non-initiating site again) which includes incoming tRNA with an anticodon that is complementary to the codon exposed in the A site binds to the mRNA.

Then peptide bond formation occurs between the amino acid carried by the tRNA in the p site and the A site. When the ribosome reads a stop codon, the process stops and the polypeptide chain produced is released and the ribosomal subunits dissociates.

Suppose that a leaf disk that has had the air sucked out is placed in bicarbonate solution under a dim light that results in a l

saul85 [17]

The answer is; NO

This is because the leaf would not have tiny oxygen bubbles spread across its base (because the base is where most stomata are) that would help it float on the water. The reason is that the oxygen produced in the process of photosynthesis would be consumed in respiration because the rates of the two biochemical processes are the same.
