Which property of water allows water to not fluctuate temperatures in bodies of water

Biology
1 answer:
Damm [24]3 years ago

Water has a high specific heat vapacity, so it takes a lot of energy to increase its temperature. water at about 4C (39F) is more densethan than water at 0C (32F).

What alternate form of genes do nucleic acids have that allows them to offer variability allele codon nucleotide chromosome
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The options to this question are:

A) allele

B) codon

C) nucleotide

D) chromosome

The answer is A) allele

Explanation:

RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in living organisms used for transferring and storing genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living organisms that contains segment coding for useful products/proteins and transmits genetic information from one generation to another. These segments are called GENES.

However, genes contain an alternate form responsible for genetic variation in the traits coded for by them. These alternate or variant form of a gene is called ALLELE. In a diploid organism like human, each trait is encoded by genes which contain contrasting pair of alleles that allows variation for that particular trait i.e. two alleles for each gene. For example, height trait in humans are encoded by gene, which possess two alleles; one coding for short variety (t) and the other for tall variety (T).

3. a) What are three ways for materials to move in and out of cells? (6 points)
zalisa [80]
Answer: Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport
Explanation:
The processes of transport between the cell and the external environment can be grouped into groups: Passive Processes - occur through the plasma membrane, without energy expenditure to the cell, to equalize cell concentration with the external medium. Examples of such processes are diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis. Active processes - occur through the plasma membrane, with energy expenditure, maintaining the concentration difference between the cell and the external environment. For example, sodium-potassium pump. Diffusion In diffusion, particles move from the highest concentration medium to the lowest concentration medium, so that it can be distributed throughout the medium. Therefore diffusion is a process called passive transport. Facilitated Diffusion is the passive transport of substances across the plasma membrane, without wasting cell metabolic energy, allowing the passage of substrates (molecules or ions) from a more concentrated to a less concentrated medium through specific mediation of carrier proteins, enzymes carriers or permeases along the plasma membrane. This process is mainly used to transport carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins and some ions: sodium, potassium, calcium. Osmosis is the name given to the movement of water between media with different concentrations of solutes separated by a semipermeable membrane. It is an important physicochemical process in cell survival.
The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Sodium concentration is higher in the extracellular environment while potassium is higher in the intracellular environment. Importantly, the energy required for this change comes from the breakdown of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate. The sodium (Na +) ion in the cytoplasm is pumped out of the cell. In the extracellular medium, the potassium ion (K +) is pumped into the internal medium. If there was no efficient active transport, the concentration of these ions would equal. Thus, the sodium and potassium pump is important as it establishes the difference in electrical charge between the two sides of the membrane that is critical for muscle and nerve cells and facilitates the penetration of amino acids and sugars.
