Answer:
A scientific law is simply an observation of the phenomenon that the theory attempts to explain. For example, suppose that you were lying under an apple tree and observed an apple fall from a branch to the ground. The observation of this phenomena can be called the law of gravity.
Answer:
C) the sun's rays that fall on the moon's surface.
Explanation:
The moon has different aspects and appearance because of the sun's rays that fall on the moon's surface. The shape of the Moon does not change itself, it occurs due to the sunlight. We only see that part of moon which is lit by the Sun. The phases of moon occur because the Sun lit different parts of the moon when the Moon revolves around the Earth so we can say that sun rays are responsible for the changing of shapes of the moon.
Answer:
the dissolved oxygen of the water decreases.
the fish need the oxygen for respiration, breathing through their gills.
Explanation:
The salinity decreasing doesn't affect the pickerel, because it's a freshwater fish. no salt needed.
more light penetrating the water just means that more aquatic weed or grasses would grow, giving the pickerel more area to spawn their eggs.
temperature increase in the summer has no affect on the fish, since the spawning happens in late winter.
Answer:
ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will stop.
Explanation:
Cyanide inhibits cytochrome oxidase that passes electrons to the molecule oxygen. Cytochrome oxidase also pumps two protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space during electron transfer. Inhibition of cytochrome oxidase would not allow the transfer of electrons to oxygen and the whole electron transport chain would be stopped. There would not be any generation of proton concentration gradient to drive the process of ATP synthesis. Hence, ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will be stopped after cyanide poisoning in aerobic cells.
