Answer:

The seafloor is only 180 million years old due to the process of subduction. The floor of the sea's tends to get colder and denser with the passage of time. At a certain time, the seafloor becomes so dense that it sinks in the upper mantle. The Earth's crust cannot undergo this process and hence has oldest rocks. We can say that the seafloor is less than 180 million years old because it is typically recycled back into the mantle of the Earth.

5. List three mechanisms by which Earth's albedo can be increased.
KIM [24]

Explanation:

1. A decrease in the number of greenhouse gases that humans produce will result in lowered global temperatures. This will allow the ice sheets in the polar regions to increase increasing also albedo.

2. Using light-colored building materials on houses and pavement in urban centers will work towards increasing albedo as more sunlight is refelcted back by built environments.

3. Decreased deforestation/increase in aforestation increases the earth’s sirface albedo because vegetation reflects back more sunlight than the earth’s bare surface.

Why must you consume carbohydrates in the foods you eat? How does this relate to cellular respiration?
omeli [17]
The breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose use to obtain energy (ATP) for the human cellular respiration by the steps glycolysis, acetyl CoA and kreb cycle. In glycolysis, ATP is use to generate greater ATP called the ATP debt. Fat (lipid) and protein (amino acid) also can give human energy call gluconeogenesis but only when critical condition only.

Determine whether the statement is true or false. Suppose P(t) represents the population of bacteria at time t and suppose P'(t)
Lorico [155]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

If the population follows a logistic growth curve, the graph of P vs t will look like the diagram below.

The rate of growth (P') increases slowly at first, then increases rapidly from 2 to 4, and then slows down, but always P > 0.

The graph has an inflection point at (3, 1000). That's the point at which the rate of growth starts slowing down.

When t < 3, P'' > 0.  

When t = 3, P'' = 0.

When t > 3, P'' < 0, because the rate of population growth is slowing down.

Thus, if the population is in the final phase of logistic growth, the population is increasing at a decreasing rate (TRUE)..

Repressors are transcription factors that bind to _____________sequences in dna
Trava [24]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with operator.

Explanation:

The proteins that assist in turning on or turning off the function of a specific gene by getting combined with certain sections of the DNA are known as transcription factors. The transcription factors that activate the transcription of a specific gene are known as activators, while that prevents transcription and is termed as repressors.  

A repressor can be an RNA or a DNA binding protein, which prevents the articulation of genes by getting combined with the operator. A repressor, which binds with DNA prevents RNA polymerase from getting combined with the promoter, which further inhibits the transcription of the genes into mRNA.
