The four layers of Earth's atmosphere include;

1. Thermosphere

2. Mesosphere

3. Stratosphere

4.Troposphere


Thermosphere extends from 80km above the surface odf the earth to the outer space. The molecules in the thermosphere receive surprising large amounts of energy from sun if the temperature is hot and might be high.


Mesosphere ia above stratosphere and it extends from 50 to 80km above the surface of the earth. It is the cold layer where temperature decreases and altitude increases.


Stratosphere is above trophosphere and is 35km deep. It extends from 15 to 50km above surface of the earth. Its top is warmer than the bottom part. Lower portion has constant temperature together with height and in the upper portion the temperature increases with altitude due to absorption of sunlight by ozone.


4. Troposphere is the closest to the surface of the earth. It extends up to 10 to 15 km above earth surface. It has atmosphere mass of 75%. It is wider in the equator than at the poles. If you go higher to the troposphere, the temperature, the pressure, and temperature drops.

There are four layers to the Earth's atmosphere. The Troposphere is where rain, snow, and storms occur. The Stratosphere is the ozone layer that absorbs the UV radiation. The Mesosphere is where most meteoroids burn up and leave a meteor trail. The Thermosphere is the furthest away from the Earth's surface and extends into space.

How does the concept of a circle relate to cyclins?
baherus [9]

The progression of a cell by the cycle of cell is regulated by the protein family Cyclic

Explanation:

  • In the year 1982, Cyclin was located by Timothy Hunt as a family of proteins which has a vital function in the progression of a cell.
  • CDK enzymes or ‘cyclin dependent kinase’ gets activated by it that synthesizes the cycle of the cell.
  • The concentration of this protein moves in a cyclic way in the cell cycle. No enzymatic function is seen in them but it aims at CDK’s different location.

Explain the effects of radiation on the cellular process of mitosis and meiosis
Anarel [89]

<span>Mitosis is a process whereby somatic cell divides while meiosis is a process in which germ cell divides.</span>Both are essential processes that occur during development.  However, delay in mitosis can result into alteration in cell kinetics pattern resulting in depletions of all populations.

Arrange the following in the correct sequence, from earliest to most recent, in which these plant traits originated. 1. sporophy
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Earliest- gametophyte dominance, sporophyte dependence

Middle- sporophyte dominance, gametophyte independence

Recent-  sporophyte dominance, gametophyte dependence

Explanation:

The life cycle of plant alternates between the two phases: the haploid gametophyte which produces gametes and the diploid sporophyte which produces spores.  The evolution of land plants shows how these are dependent on each other in terms of the requirement of nutrition.

In bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant phase on which the sporophyte depended. Later in pteridophytes, the sporophyte became dominant which is present in the later evolved groups namely the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. The gametophyte was independent on the sporophyte but in angiosperms and gymnosperms, it is dependent.
