astra-53 [7]4 years ago

A jet stream forms high in the upper troposphere<span> between two </span>air masses<span> of very different temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the air masses, the faster the wind blows in the jet stream. </span>

<span>This river of air has wind speeds which often exceed 100 mph, and sometimes peak over 200 mph. Jet streams usually form in the winter, when there is a greater contrast in temperature between cold continental air masses and warm oceanic air masses.

hope this helped :)

Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

they are Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion channels.

Explanation:

Ionotropic acetylcholine receptors are also called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors because beside acetylcholine (Ch) they respond to nicotine. These receptors are  primary receptors in muscle for motor nerve-muscle communication that controls muscle contraction.

Two molecules of ACh are required for receptor to open. Since the receptors are  linked to ion channels, the channels open. Opening of the channel allows positively charged ions to move across it: sodium enters the cell and potassium exits.
