Aquatic organisms in coastal areas face a variety of predators on land and in the water and air. Which ocean process exposes the

coastal aquatic organisms to land-based predators? a. Changing wind patterns alter the ocean currents, changing tide levels. b. Daily tidal patterns leave areas exposed to the land for part of the day. c. The constant wave action generates nutrients that attract predators. d. The ocean conveyor belt raises and lowers the water levels on the coasts.

Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer as to the ocean process that exposes the coastal organisms to land-based predators would be the daily tidal patterns that leave the coastal area exposed to the land for a part of the day.</em>

Some parts of the coastal areas become exposed to land during certain periods of the day as a result of tidal waves. When this happens, the aquatic organisms occupying these coastal areas become temporarily exposed to land predators who hunt and kill them for food.

<u>Therefore, the correct option is b. </u>

At one time, membrane biologists thought that transport proteins might act by binding a solute molecule or ion on one side of th
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The process of passage of different molecules, solutes, and liquids, through the phospholipid bilayer in human cells, and really in all animal cells, is highly dependent on a tight coordination between chemical, and thermodynamic balances, that will collaborate in these elements being able to pass, or not pass, through a cell´s membrane, and activate other mechanisms within the cell when their passage is not possible. Unlike what was once believed, that transport proteins were like buses parked at the membrane and waiting to be loaded with molecules to later remove themselves from the membrane and carry their load into the cytoplasm, scientific research has found that this is definitely so, and that transport proteins do not come off the layer to transport  molecules. They are permanently anchored to the membrane and through a series of second messenger systems, energy produced by the passage of certain ions like potassium and sodium, and other such processes, these transport proteins become activated, allow the passage of molecules and change them in such a way that they can be taken into the cell in vesicles, or, they will anchor them to second messengers, who will be responsible for carrying the molecule inside.

From the list of words given and the two sentences down below, which are two reasons why the earlier believed models for transport proteins are not correct would be:

1. Integral membrane proteins are embedded stably in the membrane and protrude from one or both side based on their hydrophobic, or hydrophilic, regions. These sides will not switch because of the disbalance that would be created if the two sides had to be switched chemically to allow them to pass to the opposie sides.

2. For protein to traverse a membrane, movement of its hydrophilic regions through the interior of the membrane would be required, which would be highly endergonic and hence thermodynamically improbable.

What is known as the medicine chest of the sea
kobusy [5.1K]

The legislation authorized Medicine Chest be carried on every American Flag vessel of more than 150 tons back in the 1700's, so long as it had a crew of ten or more. A loose network of marine hospitals, primarily in port cities, was established by Congress to care for disabled and sick American merchant seamen around 1798. Federal entities, namely, the Marine Hospital Service, the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, and lastly the Public Health Service continued to give healthcare to merchant seamen until 1981. The Medical Aid at Sea and Ship's Medicine Chest has been a part of much of this maritime history.

PLSS HELP how is gene knockout similar to gene sequencing?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Gene knockout is a technique used to determine the function of a gene that has already been sequenced, which is achieved by analyzing the phenotype of the individual carrying the knockout mutation(s). Moreover, gene sequencing is a technique used to determine the sequence of a given gene, which allows to determine how gene variants (polymorphisms) may be associated with the phenotypes of the target trait.  

Explanation:

In genetics, gene knockout is a technique used to trigger mutations in a (already) sequenced gene in order to inactive its function and observe the resulting phenotype for a particular trait. This approach that starts with the inactivation of a given gene and ends with the phenotype is known as reverse-genetics. On the other hand, gene sequencing can be defined as the methodologies/techniques/tools used to determine the nucleotide base pair sequence of a particular gene. The gene knockout technique involves knowing a priori the gene sequence in order to obtain a gene knockout (gene KO). The combination of the information obtained from these techniques can be used to determine how variation (genetic variation) affects the expression of a phenotypic trait.
