Answer:

superconductor - noun: superconductor; plural noun: superconductors  a substance capable of becoming superconducting at sufficiently low temperatures.  a substance in the superconducting state.  "as they are cooled through a critical temperature, they suddenly become superconductors"

insulator- noun: insulator; plural noun: insulators

a substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound.  "cotton is a poor insulator"  a substance or device which does not readily conduct electricity.  a block of material, typically glass or ceramic, enclosing a wire carrying an electric current where it crosses a support.

conductor- noun: conductor; plural noun: conductors  1.  a person who directs the performance of an orchestra or choir.  "he was appointed principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra"  2.  BRITISH  a person in charge of a train, streetcar, or other public conveyance, who collects fares and sells tickets.  3.  PHYSICS  a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this.  "graphite is a reasonably good conductor of electricity"  another term for lightning rod.

semiconductor- noun: semiconductor; plural noun: semiconductors  a solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors, notably silicon, are essential components of most electronic circuits.

How can you test the idea that solar energy is required for the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

In addition to biology, evidence drawn from many different disciplines, including chemistry, geology, and mathematics, supports models of the origin of life on Earth. In order to determine when the first forms of life likely formed, the rate of radioactive decay can be used to determine the age of the oldest rocks (see optional problems C and D, below) exposed on Earth’s surface. These are found to be approximately 3.5 billion years old. The age of rocks can be correlated to fossils of the earliest forms of life. A. The graph compares times of divergence from the last common ancestor based on the fossil record with a "molecular time" constructed by comparing sequences of conserved proteins to determine a mutation rate (after Hedges and Kumar, Trends in Genetics, 2003). Explain how such a molecular clock could be refined to infer time or the evolution of prokaryotes. B. Using a molecular clock constructed from 32 conserved proteins, Hedges and colleagues (Battistuzzi et al., BMC Evol. Biol. 2004) estimated the times during which key biological processes evolved. A diagram based on their work is shown. Connect the time of the origin of life inferred from this diagram with the age of the oldest fossil stromatolites and the age of the oldest exposed rock to show how evidence from different scientific disciplines provides support for the concept of evolution. Evaluate the legitimacy of claims drawn from these different disciplines (biology, geology, and mathematics) regarding the origin of life on Earth. The oldest known rocks are exposed at three locations: Greenland, Australia, and Swaziland. The following application of mathematical methods provides essential evidence of the minimum age of Earth.

What is the best description of what viruses are made of?
Mazyrski [523]

The answer is C.

A virus is made up of or consists of a nucleic acid in varying quantity which may either be RNA or DNA.

The nucleic acid is surrounded by a protein shell called a capsid. The word capsid comes from the Latin word  capsa which means box.The capsid and the nucleic acid within it are together referred to as nucleoprotein.The  capsid is made up of small sub units called capsomeres.

In many viruses, the nucleoprotein makes up the whole virus. More complex viruses have one or more further enclosing structures also made mostly of protein. These structures are referred to as envelopes and each envelop is specific to a particular virus.
