BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!!!! Explain what Lunar phases are in specific detail in one paragraph.

Biology
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
4 0

The lunar phase or phase of the Moon is the shape of the directly sunlit portion of the Moon as viewed from Earth. The lunar phases gradually and cyclically change over the period of a month (about 29.5 days), as the orbital positions of the Moon around Earth and of Earth around the Sun shift.


The Moon's rotation is tidally locked by Earth's gravity; therefore, most of the same lunar side always faces Earth. This near side is variously sunlit, depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit. Thus, the sunlit portion of this face can vary from 0% (at new moon) to 100% (at full moon). The lunar terminator is the boundary between the illuminated and darkened hemispheres.


Each of the four "intermediate" lunar phases (see below) is around 7.4 days, but this varies slightly due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit. Aside from some craters near the lunar poles, such as Shoemaker, all parts of the Moon see around 14.77 days of daylight, followed by 14.77 days of "night". (The side of the Moon facing away from Earth is sometimes called the "dark side of the Moon", although that is a misnomer.)



Take what you want from that. Don't plagerize.

In order to use amino acids as fuel, ____________ must occur. This process results in the formation of a(n) ____________ .
kaheart [24]

In order to use amino acids as fuels, amino acid metabolism must occur. This process results in the formation of 2-oxo-acids.

<h3>What is amino acid metabolism? </h3>

The excess proteins/amino acids in the body are to be broken down or catabolized as there is no mechanism for the storage of amino acids in the human body. Different amino acids have different mechanisms of catabolism.

Based on their catabolism process, amino acids are categorized into two types.

1. Glucogenic amino acids - The amino acids which can be converted into glucose, pyruvate, and intermediates of the TCA cycle are called Glucogenic amino acids. These intermediates are converted to 2-oxo-acids.

2. Ketogenic amino acids - These are either converted to fat, Acetyl CoA, or AcetoacetylCoA. These condense with 2-oxo-acids and the net gain is zero.

Therefore, amino acid metabolism results in the formation of 2-oxo-acids.

Stem cells have the ability to divide
allochka39001 [22]

Stem cells provide new cells for the body as it grows, and replace specialised cells that are damaged or lost. They have two unique properties that enable them to do this: They can divide over and over again to produce new cells. As they divide, they can change into the other types of cell that make up the body.

Hope it helps you in understanding!
