Answer:
Typically, the more massive the planet, the more massive the atmosphere it can acquire and maintain. This is important because the mass of a planet's atmosphere will directly influence its climate. The location of the “habitable zone” around a star will therefore be a function of the mass of the planet in question.

Answer:
Any process that involves active transport most often involves the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP hydrolysis.
Explanation:
Active transport in cells is a form of transport which involves the transport of solute molecules across a membrane against a concentration gradient using energy provided from some chemical reaction occuring in the cell.
Active transport is an endergonic (energy-requiring) process and therefore, must proceed only when coupled to an exergonic (energy-releasing) process such as the breakdown of ATP, an oxidation reaction, absorption of sunlight, etc.
In many instances in cell, such as the Na/K pump, ATP hydrolysis is the the common exergonic reaction to which active transport is coupled to.
Answer:
Non Renewable Energy Impact on Environment
All energy sources have some impact on our environment. Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions.

Answer:
Mitotic phase
Explanation:
Cell cycle is composed of interphase and mitotic phase. Interphase is aphase of cell preparation. It is subdivided into:
- G1 (gap 1 phase)-the cell grows and becomes larger
- S phase- replication of DNA, duplication of centrosomes
- G2 (gap 2 phase)-proteins and oranelles are made
Mitotic phase is phase of cell division, chromosomes are separated, daughter cell get identical sets of chromosomes. It is followed by cytokinesis-separation of cytoplasm. Stages of mitosis are:
- prophase-condensation of chromatin into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, mitotic spindle formation
- metaphase-the chromosmes line up (metaphase plate)
- anaphase-the siste chromatides move toward opposite cell poles
- telophase-the nuclear envelope forms again, cell division is almost complete
Answer:
The cell membrane (also called the phospholipid bilayer or the plasma membrane) is one of the most important structures a cell has. If you think of the cell as a really popular nightclub, the membrane is the bouncer. It decides what enters and exits the cell.
