Fades into outer space

No clear upper boundary  

Not all scientists agree that it is part of atmosphere

The phrases above are describing <u>B) exosphere layer of our atmosphere</u>

Explanation:

  • The exosphere is the uppermost region of Earth's atmosphere as it gradually fades into the vacuum of space.
  • Air in the exosphere is extremely thin - in many ways it is almost the same as the airless void of outer space.
  • The exosphere is perfect for placing satellites as there is very little friction and they are able to orbit fairly easily without being disrupted. Most of the molecules that exist in the exosphere end up being pulled back into earth's lower atmospheric levels by gravity.
  • The air in the exosphere is very thin, and is made up mostly of helium, and hydrogen.
  • Traces of other gases such as atomic oxygen and carbon dioxide can also be found. The upper level of the exosphere is the farthest point from earth that is still affected by earth's gravity.
  • The exosphere is an important atmospheric layer as it functions as a transition zone between the earth's atmosphere and outer space
  • It is the layer in which we can find artificial satellites that carry out constant studies of the earth and outer space. It also acts as a transit zone towards outer space.

Suppose the phloem of a seed plant is damaged and does not function properly.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:The might likely die.

Explanation:

Phloem and xylem tissues are the major conducting tissues in plant. Xylem conduct ( transports) water and minerals salts from the soil through the roots to all parts of the plant while phloem conducts manufactured food from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Now, if the phloem of a seed plant is damaged and not functioning well, the manufactured food will not get to other parts of the plant where it is needed or supposed to be stored.

If the plant is no longer getting these nutrients, its growth and development will be affected. It might lead to the death of the plant.

Why is this relationship between a plant and bacteria called a mutualism?
belka [17]
Mutualism is relationship that is beneficial to both organisms involved. The relationship between a plant and a bacterium called a mutualism because both of them help each other. Bacteria are involved in increasing the fertility of the soil by fixing atmospheric nitrogen and thus provide plant with nitrogen. In return, the bacteria make their homes in what usually become nitrogen "nodules" along plant roots. The plant gets food, the bacteria gets shelter, everybody wins.

(c) The researchers predict that for any particular concentration of substrate, the C. aurantiacus enolase-catalyzed reaction is
Bess [88]

Answer:

<u><em>This is because the enzymes might work best at higher temperature than 37 degrees Celsius. Increase in temperature will increase the catalysis of the reaction.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>When the temperature is increased, the molecules possess greater kinetic energy. This will allow more substrate and enzymes to collide. As a result, there will be more enzymes taking place in the reaction which will cause the rate of the reaction to increase.</em>

<em></em>

However, if the temperature goes too high, then the shape of the active site of the enzymes will get changed. The enzyme will deactivate and the reaction will stop.
