Geothermal energy is an alternative energy source. However, it is not resourceful enough to replace more than a minor amount of

the Earth's energy needs. Why is this?
A.

Once the cool water is poured down the well and filters through the rocks, the rocks cool off and are no longer hot enough to turn water into steam.


B.

Drilling through the Earth to reach areas hot enough to create steam is possible, but very expensive and difficult.


C.

The center of the Earth is not hot enough to make a significant energy contribution.


D.

There are only a few places where the Earth's core is hot. It is cool in places like Antarctica.

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Geothermal energy refers to the heat energy that is stored in the interior of the earth, and is primarily used to generate electricity. The geothermal energy increases with the increasing depth.

This energy is not that resourceful in a broad picture. It is because in order to extract this energy, the drilling and excavations must be made. And it is a very expensive process as it is very difficult to carry out the entire process.

Due to this drawback, it is much less resourceful.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Answer:

A scientist's response to the increase in food poisoning sick patients should be examining the type and source within the foods consumed.

Explanation:

Food poisoning involves the effects that decomposed or contaminated food can have on a group of people who eat it, and can cause illness in all or most individuals.

Although patients' symptoms should be treated and preventive education provided, the best course of action for a scientist is to investigate the cause.

The response of a scientist to the increase in food poisoning cases is to determine the type and source of food, as well as the nature of the alteration it has -decomposition, contamination, bacteria- in order to <u>eliminate the source and avoid new cases</u>.

  • <em>The other options may be valid in the face of the appearance of food poisoning cases, but they are not the best procedure with which a scientist would respond. </em>

The p53 gene is important to the cell cycle in G1 and G2, and cancer. What happens to the cell cycle when a mutation occurs in t

Answer:

PFFT this might help? sorry if not mate

Explanation:

Cell cycle checkpoint controls play a major role in preventing the development of cancer [see Sherr, 1994, for a more detailed discussion]. Major checkpoints occur at the G1 to S phase transition and at the G2 to M phase transitions. Cancer is a genetic disease that arises from defects in growth-promoting oncogenes and growth-suppressing tumor suppressor genes. The p53 tumor suppressor protein plays a role in both the G1/S phase and G2/M phase checkpoints. The mechanism for this activity at the G1/S phase checkpoint is well understood, but its mechanism of action at the G2/M phase checkpoint remains to be elucidated. The p53 protein is thought to prevent chromosomal replication specifically during the cell cycle if DNA damage is present. In addition, p53 can induce a type of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, under certain circumstances. The general goal of p53 appears to be the prevention of cell propagation if mutations are present. The p53 protein acts as a transcription factor by binding to certain specific genes and regulating their expression. One of these, WAF1 or Cip1, is activated by p53 and is an essential downstream mediator of p53-dependent G1/S phase checkpoint control. The function of p53 can be suppressed by another gene, MDM2, which is overexpressed in certain tumorigenic mouse cells and binds to p53 protein, thus inhibiting its transcriptional activation function. Other cellular proteins have been found to bind to p53, but the significance of the associations is not completely understood in all cases. The large number of human cancers in which the p53 gene is altered makes this gene a good candidate for cancer screening approaches.
