Most coastal areas on Earth experience two high tides and two low tides every lunar day. What is a lunar day? Our days on Earth

are 24-hour solar days, the time that it takes for a specific site on the Earth to rotate from an exact point under the sun to the same point under the sun. A lunar day is time it takes for a specific site on the Earth to rotate from an exact point under the moon to the same point under the moon. A lunar day is 24 hours and 50 minutes. That means a lunar day is 50 minutes longer than a solar day.
If the first low tide occurs at 5:10 AM on Friday, when will the next low tide occur?

A) 5:10 AM Saturday

B) 5:10 PM Friday

C) 5:35 PM Friday

D) 6:00 PM Friday

Answer:

C. 5:35 PM Friday There are two high tides and two low tides each day. Divide the lunar day in half. That equals 12 hours and 25 minutes.  Hope this helps!

The correct answer is - C) 5:35 PM Friday.

The low tides occur twice in a lunar day, thus they are diurnal. The low tides appear when the Moon is between that point of the planet and the opposite of that point of the planet, thus in between, which is happening twice, on opposite parts of the planet.

Since the lunar day lasts for 24 h 50 m, we should just divide it in two, thus get 12 h 25 m. Than we should add the 12 h 25 to the time when one of the low tides appeared, which is 5:10 AM, so we will get 5:35 PM.

The low tides appear because the Moon is pulling the water upwards with its gravitational pull above the place where it is, so the side parts of the planet have their waters dragged away,thus resulting in the retreating of the water, known as low tide.

Lilit [14]

George is lifting weights. He starts by doing biceps curls which involves flexing his elbows.  His elbow is able to bend because the humero-ulnar joint is a hinge joint.  Sam is doing leg presses, extending his knees as he pushes against the weights. Meanwhile, Jane is doing "lat pulls" by pulling downward on a weighted bar. This movement involves adduction of her arms.  Her shoulder joint is a  ball-and-socket joint, allowing a wide range of movements.

Indicate whether each of the following occurs mainly in G1 phase (G), S phase (S), or G2 phase (H) of the cell cycle. Your answe
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Correct choice should be:

"SGSG"

Explanation:

The cell cycle consists of G1, S, G2 and M phase. The former three phases include the interphase and M phase is the dividing phase of cell . G1 prepares cell for DNA synthesis. S phase is the phase where DNA replication takes place. G2 phase prepares cell for cell division or M phase.

G1 phase preceeds replication or S phase and G1 phase licences DNA replication.

During other phases of cell cycle, ORC complex masks origin of replication. ORC phosphorylation takes place at S phase, which removes this omplex and unmasks origin of repication site so that replication machinery can bind to it.

DNA helicase activation: S phase

DNA helicase deposition on DNA at the replication origins: G phase (actually G1)

ORC phosphorylation: S phase

Licensing of replication origins : G phase (actually G1)

Hence correct choice should be:

SGSG
