To survive in the intertidal zone, aquatic organisms have adapted specialized exteriors. Sea stars have thick skin, mussels have

hard shells, and rockweed algae have a rubbery exterior. Which tidal process causes such adaptations to be necessary in the intertidal zone?
When the tide comes in, predator organisms arrive.

When the tide comes in, water salinity increases.

When the tide recedes, food resources decrease.

When the tide recedes, organisms are exposed to the air.

Answer: When the tide recedes, organisms are exposed to the air.

Intertidal zone represent the part of the marine ecosystem, which exhibit shallow water and the marine organisms are partially exposed. This zone is exposed to high and low tides.

Sea stars have thick skin, mussels have hard shells, and rockweed algae have a rubbery exterior all these adaptations are beneficial when the tides recedes, organisms are exposed to the air. The animals in the intertidal zone  are exposed to danger of being eaten by land predators. Therefore, these adaptations provide them protection from being eaten and hunted by the land predators.

What is an advantage of using nuclear power?
My name is Ann [436]
<span><span>Large nameplate capacity per plant, typically around 1 GW.
</span><span>Typically 90% capacity factor, maximizing output from the nameplate capacity.
</span><span>Small fuel transportation volumes as the fissionable material just isn't that big or heavy compared to equivalent fossil fuel BTU sources.
</span><span>Low CO2 per MWH on a full life cycle basis. ~12 grams which is only slightly more than wind / solar.
This is a reason nuclear is a much better source for one of the major pressing problems of today than fossil fuels: global warming.</span>No particulate matter pollution.No sulfur dioxide or other chemical pollution.<span>Low fatalities per TWH. 
Nuclear is higher than renewables according to current statistics, but much, much lower than fossil fuel generation.</span></span>

Nuclear power generates lots of clean, stable energy.

Describe two factors that are responsible for regulating the cell cycle. What is their role in the regulation process?
finlep [7]

Answer:

The cell cycle is controlled by many cell cycle control factors, namely cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs). Cyclins and Cdks, which are positive regulators of the cell cycle, activate cell cycle factors that are essential for the start of the next cell cycle phase.

Explanation:

Listen to pronunciation. (sel-SY-kul REH-gyoo-LAY-shun) Any process that controls the series of events by which a cell goes through the cell cycle. During the cell cycle, a cell makes a copy of its DNA and other contents, and divides in two.

Molecular phylogenies show all land plants are a monophyletic group. This suggests ________.
guapka [62]

Answer:

D.  There was a single transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats

Explanation:

Based on the molecular differences at the level of DNA sequence and inheritance, the molecular phylogenies show that all land plants are a monophyletic group. This is why it suggests a single transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats occur.

How does a noncompetitive inhibitor decrease the rate of an enzyme reaction?
Wittaler [7]

Answer :B. By changing the shape of the enzyme's active site.

check the attachment

Explanation: This is a type of inhibition , in which a molecule binds to another part of the enzyme instead of the  active site.

On binding, it disrupts the  normal hydrogen bond and hydrophobic   interactions holding the enzyme molecule in its three dimensional shape, therefore distorting the conformation and   ACTIVE SITE of the  enzyme (changed it shape).

Since the active site is the precise location enzyme must bind with substrates for enzymatic reactions,this makes the enzyme not fit  for binding with the substrate, therefore  the efficiency  is reduced. No substrate-enzyme complex, and hence no substrate-product  complex for the release of  products, this brings down the turnover rate and eventually

<u>the rate of reaction of the enzyme</u>

Thus, the enzyme function is totally blocked, even in high concentration of the substrate,
