How do oozes differ from abyssal clay?

Oozes contain at least 30% biogenous particles (by weight); in contrast to abyssal clay which contains less than 30% biogenous material.

The bulk of the remaining percentage (up to 70%) of abyssal clay deposits  comprised of lithogenous clays

How productivity, destruction, and dilution combine to determine whether an ooze or abyssal clay will form on the deep-ocean floor

Whether or not an ooze forms depends on the relative rates of biogenous and lithogenous particle deposition in an area.

The deposition rate of biogenous particles is a function of the rate at which they are produced (productivity) versus the dissolution rate (destruction) in ocean water. The seawater dissolution rate for silica is slow and steady at all ocean depths, but increases significantly with increasing water depth for calcium carbonate.

Finally, if the deposition rate for lithogenous particles is greater than the deposition rate for biogenous particles, the lithogenous particles will dilute the concentration of biogenous particles and biogenous ooze will never form as a result of this dilution

State the reason why a solution is most dilute
ozzi

Answer:

Explanation:

Dilute solutions are prepared so as to allow a significant amount of light to pass through the solution and be measured by the recorder. Opaque solution are also diluted so light can pass through and be recorded. Similarly other substances which have very large absorption have to be diluted so that significant amount of light could reach detector.

How do neurons communicate? place in order the sequence of events that occurs when a neuron fires?
monitta

Answer;

-Dendrites receive chemical signals.

-When more excitatory than inhibitory signals are received, the cell depolarizes.

-An action potential is set off and travels through the cell and down the axon.

-The action potential excites the terminal buttons to release their chemicals into the synaptic cleft.

Explanation;

-The electrical signal that passes along the axon and subsequently causes the release of chemicals from the terminal buttons

. Chemical signals (excitatory and inhibitory signals.

-Positive sodium pours into the breach, Action potential propagates along the axon, after firing returns to its slightly negative resting state.

-An action potential can be generated if the amount of excitatory input can raise the membrane potential to -55 mV. This then floods the cell with sodium ions and raises the membrane potential. When it reaches a certain point (about +30 mV), the sodium ion channels close and the potassium ion channels open. This drops the membrane potential back down.

Bacteria can reproduce by exchanging DNA. This exchange is called:
Cloud [144]

Answer:

conjugation

Explanation:

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, resulting in two daughter cells identical to the parent cell. Bacteria can exchange DNA through the processes of conjugation, transformation, or transduction.

Humans and chimpanzees share some DNA and protein sequences:
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The DNA sequence that can be directly compared between the two genomes is almost 99 percent identical. When DNA insertions and deletions are taken into account, humans and chimps still share 96 percent of their sequence. At the protein level, 29 percent of genes code for the same amino sequences in chimps and humans.
