Answer:

The actual velocity of the canoe is 17 mi/hr in downward direction.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of canoe, $v_c=5\ mi/hr$ (downstream)

Velocity of stream, $v_s=12\ mi/hr$

We need to find the actual velocity of the canoe. Let it is equal to v. As it is clear that both velocities are in same direction. So, the actual velocity of the canoe is given by the sum of velocity of canoe and the stream.

$v=v_c+v_s$

$v=5+12$

v = 17 mi/hr

Since, the velocity is positive. It means it is in downstream direction. So, the correct option is (d) "17 mi/hr, downstream".

What is the job of the protons (H+) in the ETC?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The proton gradient produced by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP. Protons flow down their concentration gradient into the matrix through the membrane protein ATP synthase, causing it to spin (like a water wheel) and catalyze conversion of ADP to ATP. Hope this helps!

As part of their normal function, many proteins bind to dna briefly and then release it again. which types of bonds might be inv

STatiana [176]

The type of bonds that are involved in these transient protein - DNA interactions include: IONIC BOND, VANDER WAAL FORCES AND HYDROGEN BOND.
Protein - DNA interaction occur when a protein bind to DNA molecule; this reaction usually occur in order to regulate the function of DNA, especially that of expression of genes. Protein interaction with DNA may be specific or non specific.
