How does an ocean wave change as its movint from deep water to shallow water

1 answer:

5 0

When deep-water waves move intoshallow water, they change into breaking waves. When the energy ofthe waves touches the ocean floor, the water particles drag along the bottom and flatten their orbit (Fig. ... Transitional waves occur when the water depth is less than one-half thewavelength (D < 1/2 L).

Why do red blood cells appear smaller after being exposed to a hypertonic starch solution?

Ivahew [28]

Hypertonic solutions cause water to diffuse out of the cell. This occurs because the concentration of starch is inside the cell is smaller compared to the ammount outside of the cell.

If the virus infects a host cell and replicates, the new viruses will contain A. influenza A virus protein coats and poliovirus

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It will depend on the type of virus that infects the host's cells. For example, if it is a poliovirus, the answer will be <em>"D. poliovirus protein coats and poliovirus genetic material"</em>

Explanation:

A virus is composed of genetic material encapsulated by a protective coat protein (capsid). The genetic material of a virus can be either DNA or RNA and single-strand or double-stranded (either DNA or RNA). Moreover, the capsid may be surrounded by an additional spikey coat known as envelope. During infection, a virus invades the host´s cells to replicate both its genetic material and its proteins (they use host cellular machinery to synthesize new viral proteins). Depending on the type of virus, they can integrate and replicate its genetic material into the host genome (DNA viruses and RNA retroviruses) or replicate its genetic material outside the host genome (RNA viruses in general).
