<em><u>Air is less dense on a mountain top than at sea level.  </u></em>

<em><u>More force pushes on the air at the bottom of an air column.  </u></em>

<em><u>As you descend a mountain, air molecules are closer together. </u></em>

Answer: Option A, D & E

<u>Explanation:</u>

Air pressure means the effect of gravitational force acting on the surface area. Density is the measurement on the arrangement of the molecules. Altitude is the height above sea level. Air pressure decrease with altitude.

The altitude always determines the air pressure and density. As we get above the sea level the air is less dense lacking Oxygen. At higher altitude the air molecules spread more. Due to earth’s gravity the air is pushed towards the bottom of an air column.

The climate of Houston, Texas is humid subtropical, with a temperature

The culprit is an "arctic outbreak" that originated just above the US-Canada border, which is freezing temperatures across much of the US territory.

<h3>Arctic outbreak</h3>

"Bursts" of cold air like this are usually confined to the Arctic region thanks to a series of low-pressure systems, says the NWS. However, one of these waves advanced through Canada and "escaped" to the US.

According to experts heard by Reuters, it is a vast mass of icy air in the atmosphere, which brings with it frigid temperatures - which can be prolonged if storms form.

From this information we can conclude that according to the US Weather Service (NWS), the culprit is an "arctic outbreak" that originated just above the US-Canada border, which is freezing temperatures across much of the US territory.

Predict what the calf produced in a union between each of these parents might look like. Explain your answers.
Charra [1.4K]
We know that purebred means that the organism contains the same alleles for the trait and hybrid means that it contains two different alleles for the trait. Dominant means that it will be shown in a hybrid and a purebred, but recessive traits will only be shown in purebred recessive organisms.

a) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull, would be all hybrid brown (dominant). This is because as I stated above, dominant traits are shown when the offspring has both dominant and recessive alleles for the same trait.

b) The offspring of a purebred brown (dominant) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull would all be purebred brown (dominant). This is because if both of the parents have only alleles that code for brown color, the only color that the offspring can be is brown.

c) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred white (recessive ) bull would all be purebred white (recessive), for the same reason stated above in part b), the only difference being that the alleles are recessive and code for white color instead of being dominant and coding for brown color.

d) The offspring of a hybrid brown (dominant) cow and a purebred white (recessive) bull would be half hybrid brown (dominant) and half purebred white (recessive). This can be seen best if you set up a Punnett Square, which is a diagram that shows allele frequencies in offspring. This shows you that the chance that the offspring get the dominant allele from the mother cow is 50%, thus 50% would be hybrid brown (dominant), as the father can contribute only a recessive white allele. The other 50% would be purebred white (recessive) because the mother cow would be contributing a white allele and so would the father.

Hope this helps! :)

Name the type of bacteria involved in the process labelled B
Zanzabum

Picture attached

Answer:

Nitrifying bacteria

Explanation:

The process labelled B is the conversion of inorganic nitrogen from organic products to atmospheric nitrogen. This process is called denitrification.

Denitrification is a process where nitrate is reduced to molecular nitrogen  through a series of intermediate products. This processed is carried out by bacteria called denitrifying bacteria.

Denitrifying bacteria are an important part of the nitrogen cycle.
