How is energy transferred with ocean currents?

1 answer:

8 0

Heat moves in predictable ways, flowing from warmer objects to cooler ones, until both reach the same temperature. Because water in the ocean holds a large amount of heat, the ocean has a major effect on climate. When air in contact with the ocean is at a different temperature than the sea surface, heat transfer by conduction takes place. The ocean also absorbs and stores energy from the sun, and when precipitation falls, it releases heat energy into the atmosphere.

The correct answer is contractile vacuole.

The contractile vacuole is a water bubble present in the endoplasm of the amoeba. The role of the contractile vacuole is same as the role of the central vacuole in plants.

The contractile vacuole stores the water and the waste material of the cell, along with some mineral and other substance, so, they help in the maintenance of the osmolarity. In case, the walls of the contractile vacuole is damaged, the cell may burst out.
