Biology

The correct answer is B.) White Sand

Explanation:

The term "albedo" is used to describe the amount of radiation a surface reflects, this is also related to how fast a surface increases its temperature. In general terms, the lighter the surface is the most albedo it has as dark/black bodies absorb all radiation. For example, white snow has an albedo of 80% while dark wet soil has radiation of 10%; also, in the case of water, this has a low albedo (around 10%). According to this, the substance that has a high albedo is white sand as this is a light surface and therefore it is expected it reflects most of the radiation it receives, around 50% (or even more) albedo.

Answer:

Which substance has a high albedo? B) White Sand

Explanation:

The albedo is the amount of energy that is reflected by a surface. It is determined by the refletivity of that surface. Albedo can range from 0 (no reflection) to a value of 1 (100% reflection). Generally, dark surfaces have a low albedo and light surfaces have a high albedo. Liquid water is considered to have a low albedo, like dark rock and rich soil.

What type of biomolecule contains the code for making helicase?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

DNA

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is known as the hereditary material of cells. It carries information for coding all type of proteins in the body.

As helicases are proteins, the genetic code from which they are to be made would be present in a specific sequence on part of DNA. This code would be transcribed and mRNA will be formed. After this, the mRNA will be translated and modified into a helicase enzyme.
