Answer:

Heamoglobin is the structure present in red blood cells which is involved in carrying of oxygen from the blood to all parts of the body.

Explanation:

Tertiary Structure :  A molecule of heamoglobin consists of four groups of heme and a group of globulin.A molecule of heamoglobin contains four iron atoms to which oxygen molecules get attached. As there are four iron atoms in a molecule of heamoglobin so a single heamoglobin molecule can carry four oxygen atoms.

Quaternary structure: Multi sub unit globular proteins combine to make the Quaternary structure of heamoglobin. Alpha helices are made by the amino acids present in heamoglobin. Non helical segments, short in length, connect the alpha helices. The helical segments are stabilized by hydrogen bonds which results in folding of the polypeptide into the specific Quaternary shape.

 Function:

1.The basic function of heamoglobin is that it transfers oxygen from the lungs to different parts of the body.

2. CO2 ions and hydrogen ions are also transported by the heamoglobin.

Deposition from flow into a lake or an ocean

A delta is a  feature of a river that occurs at its mouth whereby the river tends to drains into a water body (ocean or lake) through several drainages.

Explanation:

As a river approaches and drains into a water body, like a lake or ocean, it deposits a lot of sediments that it collected upstream. The high gradient upstream gives the river a high energy flow enabling it to have high erosion power and it can carry lots of sediments. The geographical gradient lowers closer to the mouth of the river and much of the sediments settle down due to the low speed and energy of the river flow at this stage. Over years, the sediment accumulates over a large area and the river has to find several channels to drain into the ocean or lake. This forms a delta.

Explain why some scientific theories are changed over time​
cluponka [151]

Answer:

A common misconception is that scientific theories are rudimentary ideas that will eventually graduate into scientific laws when enough data and evidence have been accumulated. A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence.
