It is true that Urban sprawl covers land once used for food
production and destroys ecosystems. Many of the large cities that have come up
were once fertile lands for irrigation or were big jungles. These jungles were
cut down or the fertile lands destroyed to build cities and industries.
By the United States Census Bureau standards, a population
of 1000 people define an urban area is completely false statement. As per the
United States Census Bureau, more than 50000 people define an urban area.
The correct answer would be C.seasonal changes in the amount of daylight. Since leaves require sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis to keep the tree alive, when seasonal changes occur where there is not enough sunlight throughout the day, trees go dormant for the season until conditions are right.
Nitrogen. The acronym CHON is an easy was to remember these four biomolecules that make up life. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen are essential for life as we know it. Nitrogen plays a critical role in the construction of proteins and DNA. And Nitrogen is considered essential in the overall process of photosynthesis for the production of chlorophyll in plants.
Answer:
B) Telomerase is a ribonuclear protein containing a section of RNA complementary to the telomeres
C. telomerase is reactivated in cancer cells, contributing to their immortality
Explanation:
- Telomerase elongates telomere ends
- Telomerase binds to a RNA molecule containing a sequence complementary to the telomeric repeat.
- Telomerase is usually not active in somatic cells but is active in cancer cells- the protein acts to extend the shortened telomeres in these cells preventing them from dying
<span>The half-life of a radioactive isotope describes the amount of time that it takes half of the isotope in a sample to decay. In the case of radiocarbon dating, the half-life of carbon 14 is 5,730 years. This half life is a relatively small number, which means that carbon 14 dating is not particularly helpful for very recent deaths and deaths more than 50,000 years ago. After 5,730 years, the amount of carbon 14 left in the body is half of the original amount. If the amount of carbon 14 is halved every 5,730 years, it will not take very long to reach an amount that is too small to analyze. When finding the age of an organic organism we need to consider the half-life of carbon 14 as well as the rate of decay, which is –0.693.</span>
