How does the past existence of coral reefs in Orangeburg account for the Santee Caverns?

Biology
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because of the lime rock that is present in the caverns.

Explanation:

In the evolution of Earth, the different kind of soils that grows in an area is product of the leftovers of other living things in ancient times.

In the case of the Santee Carverns, the floor of these caverns are made of limestone, that is conform with a high concentration of calcium and magnesium in its composition, that mean, that in ancient times, both minerals were from coral reefs. On coral reefs, there is always a high concentration of these minerals, that is reason why coral reefs can maintain the carbon dioxide in water sea.

A carbohydrate composed of two covalently-bonded simple sugars (monosaccharides) is called a(n)?
Novosadov [1.4K]

A carbohydrate composed of two covalently bonded simple sugars is called a <u>disaccharide</u>.

Carbohydrates or sugars are one of the four main categories of the macromolecules that make up living things (the other three being nucleic acids, proteins and lipids). It can either be a simple sugar (sugar monomer or monosaccharide) or a polymer of simple sugars.

Carbohydrates are composed entirely of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Simple sugars or monosaccharides contain six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms. When two monosaccharides bond covalently, they form a disaccharide.

Some examples of disaccharides include:

  • Sucrose or table sugar - It is made up of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule
  • Lactose or milk sugar - It is made up of one glucose and one galactose molecule
  • Maltose or malt sugar - It is made up of two glucose molecules.

A student draws a fence with several gate as part of a model of cellular transport explain what defence indicates represent blam
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The given question says that a student has constructed a model of cellular transport using fences and several gates.  

This model can be used to demonstrate the cellular transport.

The gates of the fences can be supposed as the protein pumps and the other fence demonstrates the lipid bilayer.  

Let’s suppose in the fence, there are many cattles, and outside, there are less cattles, but the student open the gate and bring more cattles inside the fence. In this case, the transport of the cattles is similar to the active transport of the molecules using protein pumps. At cellular level, the energy for the active transport is provided by ATP molecules.

Now, let’s say, the student wants to feed the cattles with some nutrition rich food, which can help in maintaining the health of the cattles. The student fills his car with the cattle food and he enters inside the fence through gates. In this case, the food was not present in the fence, but was abundant in the outside environment, so, the diffusion would occur. But food cannot come self, without help of others, so, the movement is facilitated by the car, as it is done by the carrier proteins. Hence, it is an example of facilitated diffusion.
