Biology

navik [9.2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Diamond is the hardest of all the minerals. According to Mohr's hardness scale, it has a hardness of 10. The carbon atoms in diamond are shared by a strong covalent bond. They are formed in the mantle at a depth of about 150 km and beyond that, where the temperature and pressure condition is extremely high. These diamonds are carried to the near-surface region with the help of kimberlite pipes due to the deep volcanic eruption that is initiated. <u>Diamonds are very expensive because they are formed at huge depth and their cost of extraction is really high.</u> <u>They are very rare so they are really valuable</u>.

Thus, diamonds are used as a gem because of their hard and adamantine luster.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Nonetheless algal bloom can produce both beneficial and harmful cycles.

It is beneficial because it can provide organic compounds needed by higher organisms, for this reason productivity increases because there's more algae in the water which means that more carbon dioxide is used from the atmosphere and that more oxygen is being released into the atmosphere which is needed and necessary for many living things

What do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?
aliina [53]

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A <u>ligand</u> corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the <u>receptor</u> is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that <u>each receptor can bind to a specific ligand</u>, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.
