Why does the moon have such hot days and cold nights?

1 answer:

7 0

Temperatures on the moon are very hot in the daytime, about 100 degrees C. Atnight, the lunar surface gets very cold, as cold as minus 173 degrees C. This wide variation is because Earth's moon has no atmosphere to hold in heat at night or prevent the surface from getting so hot during the day.

Based on these data alone, identify the most appropriate hypothesis that explains the effect of peptides 1 and 2 on the quorum-s

DochEvi [55]

Data shows results of an experiment which was added to each peptide to culture the TRAP. Mutants of S. aureus and culture of the Agr. mutant of s. aureus.
Peptide 1 and three blocks Agr pathway
Peptide 2 blocks TRAP pathway
This is because the mutants are already blocked for one of the pathways.
Therefore it gives way to determine which pathway each peptide act on.

Why do we classify organisms??

OLEGan [10]

Answer: we classify organisms to group living beings who share the same characteristics or who have common attributes

Explanation: So, since the late '60s and based on the proposal of the researcher Robert Whittaker, most biologists group living beings into 5 large groups called Kingdoms, based mainly on three characteristics:

* type of cell,

* number of cells in each organism and

* the way of obtaining energy.

As a result, we could have 5 kingdoms; and these kingdoms are:

Monera, represented by the microorganisms of prokaryotic type known colloquially as "bacteria"

-Fungi, represented by mushrooms

-Plantae, the kingdom of the plants

-Animalia, the kingdom of the animals, and

-Protist, a very diverse group of organisms of eukaryotic type.
