Answer:

3. Rocks erode and sediment is deposited.

4. No sediment is deposited over a long time.

Explanation:

An unconfomity is a break in stratigraphic record of a place usually as a result of non-deposition or erosion.

In a sequence of sedimentary rock strata some surfaces called unconformity surfaces gives clues about the depositional history of a particular place. During an unconfomity, there is usually no sediment deposition and when deposition resumes, the underlying rocks and the new ones will not share the same attribute especially by age. Unconformity can also be as a result of erosion of a sequence.

In the case of non- conformity, a sedimentary rock is deposited above an igneous or sedimentary rock. Option 5 is a simple example of an igneous intrusion called a sill. It is not unconformity.

Explain why the steroid hormone estradiol (MW 272) readily crosses membranes by simple diffusion but the much smaller H requires

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Estradiol has a higher partition coefficient than H+ ions

Explanation

Estradiol is a non-polar and hydrophobic molecule that has a higher partition coefficient than H+ ions, it means that the cell membrane is more permeable to this molecule because it can dissolve in and diffuse within the hydrophobic phase of the membrane. The movement of polar charged molecules (even small H+ ions) requires the input of energy to be able to dissolve within the lipid bilayer. In consequence, the movement of H+ ions requires proteins capable of transporting these protons through the membrane.
