Transformation occurs first in a coal-burning power plant is Chemical energy to thermal energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Coal-burning power plants produce power by consuming coal in an evaporator to deliver steam. The steam delivered, under gigantic weight, streams into a turbine, which twists a generator to make power. The steam is then cooled, dense once again into water and came back to the evaporator to begin the procedure once again.

The combustion of coal releases a energy which is a chemical energy and as it releases electricity due to high temperature , the first transformation occurring in coal burning power plant is chemical to thermal energy.

Describe the most common molecular mechanism for recessively inherited human genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. When the child receives the defective gene from both of his parents, he suffers from cystic fibrosis. Because his parents are carriers. In recessive genetic disorder, the genes will be expressed when both recessive genes are present in one person. The person suffering from this disease have a lung infection and pancreatic dysfunction.  

In this cystic fibrosis, genes are located in chromosome 7. The effective gene is the CFTR gene. The CFTR gene is present in the DNA and by transcription, this forms CFTR protein. This is a channel protein and transports chloride ion.

This CFTR protein transports chloride ions and it makes a balance in the cell membrane. These genes are commonly present in the epithelial cells. Outside the epithelial mucus is present to keep the cells moist.

The epithelium gets a lack of water and chloride due to the defect. Therefore cells need CFTR proteins also. This causes lung infection and pancreatic disorder.

Alanine

Valine

Leucine

Isoleucine

Proline

Phenylalanine
