Where is over 95% of incoming ultraviolent radiation absorbed

Biology

zheka24 [161]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Over 95% of incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed in :

A. The Stratosphere.

Explanation:

  • Stratosphere is the second layer of the earth's atmosphere that lies next to the troposphere.
  • This layer experiences very little turbulence of air and is very significant because of the presence of Ozone layer in it.
  • The UV rays entering the Earth's atmosphere, photo dissociates ozone into O₂ and O. But these molecules quickly recombine to form ozone.Thus, stabilizing the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere.
  • During this photo dissociation UV radiations loses much of its energy. Thus, 95% of incoming Ultraviolet radiation gets absorbed in the Stratosphere.
  • Absorption of ozone UV radiation increases exponentially with the thickness of ozone layer.

mixer [17]

Answer:

The environment the moths lived in used to be unpolluted. This made dark moths rare. As the area where light moths were found became more polluted, the light moths became less common in the polluted/dark areas. Light Moths began to evolve after not being able to survive in dark forests, they began to get darker and blend in with the polluted area to be safe from predators.

Answer:

The further away means it gets a weaker source if light and less reaches it.

Explanation:

Since the plant produces oxygen in photosynthesis, you can use this to measure the rate of photosynthesis. Which is affected by light and it's availability.

By what process do most bacteria divide? *
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: D. Binary fission

Explanation:

A. Mitosis  This is the process by which somatic cell divide, from 1 cell the result is 2 cells.

B. Meiosis   This is process by which reproductive cells divide, the product of this process is 4 daughter cells.

C. Conjugation  is a process by which bacteria transfer DNA to another cell but is not a process of division.

D. Binary fission , this is the process by which Bacteria reproduce, the result of the mechanism is 2 identical daughter cells.

Order these steps of the lytic cycle. A. Assembly B. Penetration C. Lysis D. Synthesis E. Adsorption
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The correct order is

E. Adsorption

B. Penetration

D. Synthesis

A. Assembly

C. Lysis

Explanation:

Virus can have two reproduction cycle that is lytic and lysogenic. In the lytic cycle first step is virus adsorption or attachment on the host cell surface. The second step is penetration in which the virus penetrated the host cell and injects its genetic material in the host cell.

The third step is synthesis, in this stage, the viral genome gets incorporated and produces viral proteins required for capsid formation. The fourth step is assembly in which viral protein assembled around viral nucleic and form new viruses.  

The final step is lysis where the new viruses lyse the host cell to come out of the host cell and infect other cells.
