What process decreases the salinity of ocean water?

Biology
1 answer:
Cloud [144]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

increased runoff from rivers

Explanation:

Salinity of the ocean is the degree of concentration of salts in the ocean. It is the extent to which ocean water contains dissolved salt materials in it. It describes the saltiness of the ocean.

When runoff from rivers increases into an ocean, the salinity will reduce drastically. More fresh water implies a reduction in salt water content of the ocean. Runoff reduces or we can say dilutes the degree to which ocean water is salty.

List the three principal hormones that regulate glucose metabolism. Explain the effects these molecules have on carbohydrate met
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The three hormones are insulin, glucagon, and GIP and GLP-1.

Explanation:

After the ingestion of carbohydrates, insulin increases in the blood generating peaks in blood glucose, therefore the hormone that will increase is insulin to lower blood glucose, promoting the entry of this monosaccharide into the cells.

Different from the moments when the person enters into physical activity, and blood glucose is low, therefore glucagon is activated and seeks to remove the energy reserves from the interior of the cell.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

miR-223 inhibits the expression of the fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene, and thereby ESCs cells maintain their undifferentiated state .

Explanation:

Non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) are molecules that regulate gene expression, thereby playing important biological functions in cell differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis, etc. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of ncRNAs capable of controlling gene expression patterns by regulating mRNA stability and by suppressing their translation into proteins. It has been shown that miRNAs function by imperfectly base-pairing with the 3′ UTR of target mRNAs (Pillai et al. 2005).
