Why is the moon white

Biology
2 answers:
solniwko [45]4 years ago
6 0

Moonlight is no longer thought of as the cause. In the 16th century, moonmilk, a soft white limestone precipitate found in caves, was thought to be caused by the rays of the Moon.

Answer:

The moon is not actually white, it's grey.

Explanation:

What I learned is that what makes it white is the reflection of the sun and the sun makes it glow, that's why it looks white.

And if you focus on the moon when it's not full you'll see the other part of it showing but it looks grey not white, because as I told you it's the suns reflection.

Hope I helped!

Have a good day. =)

Which of the following hormones is not produced by the anterior pituitary?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

oxytocin

Explanation:

The pituitary gland is a small gland that divides into two distinct portions, the anterior and posterior lobes, and is located at the base of the brain.

The anterior pituitary, also known as the adenohypophysis, secretes six important peptide hormones, they are:

  • The growth hormone;
  • Adrenocorticotropin;
  • The thyroid stimulating hormone;
  • Prolactin;
  • Two gonadotropic homons - FSH and LH;

Oxytocin is not a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary but by the posterior pituitary, which is known as the neurohypophysis.

why would having both polar and nonpolar properties in a protective boundary be advantageous for the cell?
Reika [66]

Explanation:

The polar nature of the membrane’s surface can attract polar molecules, where they can later be transported through various mechanisms. Also, the non-polar  region of the membrane allows for the movement of small non-polar molecules across the membrane’s interior, while preventing the movement of polar molecules, thus maintaining the cell’s composition of solutes and other substances by limiting their movement.

Further explanation:

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrophobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backbone) with up to 36 carbons. Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties i.e. they are amphiphilic. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane.

You cross purple-flowered and white-flowered pea plants, and all offspring are purple. how come? select one:
Vaselesa [24]
To solve this problem on genetic dominance, we will need a punnet square.

Let's let P represent purple-flowered and p represent white-flowered.

We have one purple flowered plant with the alleles PP, and we have one white flowered plant with the alleles pp. Using a punnet square, we can determine the alleles of the offspring.

       <u>P</u>     <u>P</u>
p|    Pp   Pp

p |   Pp   Pp

As we can tell from our punnet square, all of our offspring will have purple flowers. This is because the purple-flower allele is dominant and the white-flowered allele is recessive.

Since each flower has a dominant and recessive allele, they are heterozygous.

Therefore, the solution to this problem is D.
