"Using the transit method, how many times must a dip in the brightness of a star be observed before it can qualify as an actual

planet detection
Geography
1 answer:
joja [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Four times.

Explanation:

  • The transit method is a method that is used to detect the star or a planet system and has orbits aligned to each other and the planet travel between the planets and the star and it temporarily blocks some of the light each time in orbit.  
  • And this dimming of the light can help us identify the size of the planet as a star will create slight dimming light while a large planet will have a noticeable effect.  And this method can be used to calculate the planets density and composition and mass.
  • The primary transit is when the planet passes in front of the star and the secondary transits are when it completely disappears behind the planet while the brightness dimes more in at the third and second time the star passes by.

Which statement contrasts viruses and bacteria?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Viruses can replicate inside cells, while bacteria release toxins to destroy cells.

Explanation:

Viruses and bacteria are both considered microorganisms that can be pathogens. Bacteria are singled celled organisms, where as viruses are non-cellular. Therefore, viruses are sometimes considered non-living, or "on the edge of life"

Viruses consist of (at the minimum) a genome surrounded by a protein coat. To replicate, they have to insert their genome into a host cell. This is another reason they are sometimes considered non living.

In contrast, bacteria can release toxins but do not replicate inside cells.

Therefore, the answer is viruses can replicate inside cells, while bacteria release toxins to destroy cells.
