How does wet and dry barometer work?? Thnx

Biology
1 answer:
tatiyna3 years ago
6 0

Wet barometer - The tool works by measuring atmospheric pressure to predict incoming weather. Since the glass is only filled halfway with water, the other half is exposed to the atmosphere. When the outdoor atmospheric pressure rises, the pressure in the glass decreases, and causes the water to move down the spout.

Dry barometer - A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.

I hope this helps!

The majority of marine organisms are found in coastal regions, rather than the open
mezya [45]

Answer:

Ocean currents bring nutrient-rich water into coastal regions.

Explanation:

About 70 percent of our planet is covered by water. The earth has been declared a "blue planet" because it looks blue from space. About 96 percent of this water is the sea or salt water, made up of the ocean that covers the Earth.

Within these oceans, there are many different types of habitats or environments inhabited by plants and animals, from the freezing of polar ice to tropical coral reefs. Most marine life is found in coastal habitats.

An individual with the disorder Xeroderma pigmentosum is hypersensitive to sunlight succumbs to DNA damage caused by light expos
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Mutations of enzymes involved in nucleotide excision repair.

Explanation:

  • Xeroderma pigmentosum is a genetic disorder and the person suffering from this disorder is sensitive to ultraviolet light due to the disability of the enzymes involved in nucleotide excision repair which prevents DNA damage caused by ultraviolet light.
  • Thus, the individuals are sensitive to the exposure of UV and suffer severe problems when exposed to sunlight.
  • The major cause of the disorder is the inability to repair DNA damage caused by exposure to sunlight due to the mutation in an enzyme involved in nucleotide excision repair.
  • Nucleotide excision repair is a DNA repair process that can excise out single-stranded DNA that is damaged by UV.
  • UV exposure leads to the addition of bulky adducts in the DNA known as thymine dimers. The enzymes of NER are involved in the removal of these adducts by excising out a segment of DNA that contains such lesions.
  • However, in the case of XP, the mutations make this repair system non-functional or partially functional and thus, the individual becomes highly sensitive to UV exposure.
