The correct options are as follows:
1. Human skin color variation is primarily determined by the type and amount of melanin pigment in the skin.
2. Human skin color variation likely evolved in response to differences in the intensity of sunlight around the world.
3. Human skin color evolve recently in hominid evolution, once some population of human ancestor migrated out of Africa.
The color of human skin is primarily determine by melanin. The intensity of the sun in the climate where one is living also affect the type of skin color that will dominate in a geographical area.

The right answer is A, B, and D.

Over the millennia, the color of the skin of humans has adapted to the local sunshine.

Answer:

from the intermembrane space to the matrix

Explanation:

In the electron transport chain (ETC), electrons flow from one protein complex to another. However, as this electrons are transfered, protons (H+) is built up from the intermembrane space of the mitochondria to the mitochondrial matrix.

Hence, according to this question, a proton gradient is formed when hydrogen ions (H+) are moving from the intermembrane space to the matrix of the mitochondrial.

Orographic lifting is associated with?

Agata [3.3K]

Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically, which can raise the relative humidity to 100% and create clouds and, under the right conditions, precipitation
