Answer:

Closed Systems. The earth system as a whole is a closed system. ... Virtually no mass is exchanged between the Earth system and the rest of the universe (except for an occasional meteorite). However, energy in the form of solar radiation passes from the Sun, through the atmosphere to the surface.

Answer:

The earth is a closed system because only energy is naturally transferred outside the atmosphere.

Explanation:

A closed system is a system in which only energy is transferred with its surroundings. An open system, however, is a system in which both energy and matter can transfer.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is : C .It will decrease ATP production because fewer protons will be able flow down through ATP synthase.

Explanation:

  • Oxidative Phosphorylation is a process which involves two steps:  
  1. Transport of electrons from the reduced compounds like NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) and FADH₂ (Flavin adenine dinucleotide dihydrogen) through the electron transport complexes, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, to oxygen for the generation of water molecules.
  2. Synthesis of ATP or adenosine triphosphate from ADP or adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate by an enzyme called ATP synthase which is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This enzyme harnesses energy by carrying protons from the inter-membrane space into the mitochondrial matrix and in the process produces ATP.
  • Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the mitochondria, especially involving the inter membrane space, inner membrane and mitochondrial matrix
  • During the transport of electrons through the protein complexes (I, II, III, IV) of the electron transport chain a proton gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
  • The proton gradient is such that the concentration of protons is more in the inter-membrane space and less in the matrix of the mitochondria.
  • This proton gradient provides the energy to the ATP synthase for the synthesis of ATP.
  • Dinitrophenol is responsible for making the inner mitochondrial membrane permeable to protons. As a result protons can directly diffuse through the inner mitochondrial membrane from the inter-membrane space into the mitochondrial matrix equalising the concentration of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This causes distortion in the proton gradient.  Hence, protons are no longer available for the ATP synthase to operate and synthesise ATP.

3. Explain the difference between the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Goshia [24]

Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. And the greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

Neurons are either classified by their structural differences or their ? differences.
DedPeter [7]
Nerve cells are functionally classified as sensory neurons, motor neurons, or interneurons. Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) are unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar shaped cells that conduct action potentials toward or into the central nervous system.
