This is data from a visible satellite image. What types of weather conditions are associated with the image?
masya89 [10]
Hurricanes (also known as typhoons or cyclones, depending on the location on Earth where they form) are often associated with extremely powerful winds and torrential rains. I am not sure about the pressure, but the only option here that mentions both strong winds and a lot of rain is A. low pressure, high winds, high precipitation, so I'd say that is the correct answer.

Which two factors of a molecule determine whether or not it can cross the membrane? A. Color and weight B. Shape and texture C.
myrzilka [38]
D. Polarity and size. 
<span>The size, polarity, and charge of a substance will determine whether or not the substance can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. The cholesterol was an example of a lipid, and is highly soluble in the nonpolar environment of the lipid bilayer. You saw, in the animation above, the cholesterol freely passing into the hydrophobic environment of the membrane. Cholesterol distributes freely in the membrane and then some fraction will dissolve in the aqueous environment of the cytoplasm. Water, on the other hand, while polar, is small enough to cross the membrane at a slow rate. Note that specialized transport proteins in certain cell membranes can provide a channel for the water, greatly increasing its rate of crossing the membrane. The lipid bilayer is much less permeable to the ion, because of its charge and larger size. As a general rule, charged molecules are much less permeable to the lipid bilayer.</span>

Match the term to its description.
Amiraneli [1.4K]
I believe that the correct match will be;
Prominences- A
Sunspots - B
Solar flares - C
Convection -D
Prominence is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun's surface. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the Sun's hot outer atmosphere, called the corona.
Sunspots are darker, cooler areas on the surface of the sun in a region called the protosphere. Solar flares are large eruptions of electromagnetic radiation from the sun lasting from minutes to hours.
