Define each of the following zones:

Biology
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Benthic Zone-  bottom of ocean

Pelagic Zone- the open ocean that is not near the  coast.

Oceanic zone- Zone that is beyond the continental shelf

Neritic zone- Zone that exists over the continental shelf

Photic zone- Zone where sunlight pass through

Aphotic zone- Zone where sunlight cannot pass through

Explanation:

There two important zones of the  ocean that can be termed as Benthic Zone which lies at bottom of ocean or sea and Pelagic Zone that could be imagined as a cylinder or water column that goes from the surface of the sea or ocean to its bottom. At the very bottom of the sea there lies an ecological region termed as Benthic Zone.The pelagic zone can also be termed as the open-ocean zone and it is in contrast with water that is nearer to the coast or continental shelf.

There are different zones that lies within a Pelagic Zone. They are

Oceanic, Neritic, Photic, Aphotic. The zone that lies beyond the continental shelf comes under this oceanic zone and Photic and Aphotic as the name suggests it refers to light. It referes to the zones where sunlight can penetrate and can not penetrate respectively.

What scientist used radioactive bacteriophages to prove DNA is the
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase

Explanation:

In 1952 Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase were working with bacteriophages or phages, which are viruses that infect bacteria. They knew that a phage had an outer shell of protein and an inner core of DNA. In addition, from the electron microscope observations, they also knew that during infection the virus attacks the bacterium by its tails and introduces its genetic material into the bacterium to multiply using its metabolic machinery. They radioactively labeled two sets of phages: one with 32P (which marks only DNA) and another with 35S (which marks only proteins). In two parallel experiments, they infected bacteria with viruses marked on their DNA and with viruses marked on their proteins. The cultures were shaken with a mixer to separate the virus particles from the bacterial coatings. They then performed a centrifugation to separate the phages from the bacteria, so that the larger and heavier bacteria remain in the pellet, while the phages remain in the supernatant. They found that the radioactivity of 35S appeared in the supernatant while that of 32P appeared in the sediment, from which new radioactively labeled virus particles appeared, demonstrating that DNA was the genetic material.

Which statement most accurately describes what happens to proteins that lack an ER signal sequence?
Illusion [34]

The correct answer is: They are released into the cytosol.

A a sequence consisting of 5-30 hydrophobic amino acids on the N-terminus, which is called signal peptide or signal sequence is responsible for directing the transport of the synthesized protein. Proteins that contain such sequence are destined for secretion form the cell (vesicular), for the plasma membrane, the lumen or membrane of either the (ER), Golgi or endosomes. So, when the protein lack the sequence, it is released in the cytosol.

Drupady [299]

As a control for the sasquatch experiment, a fake deer is placed in the forest. The role of this control in experiment is to provide a basis of comparison to the experimental group.

Scientists often analyze hypotheses developed by them by means of controlled experiments. A controlled experiment is a scientific test performed under controlled conditions, denoting that only one or a few variables are altered at a time whereas, all the remaining variables are kept constant.

Controls are utilized in an experiment to reduce the effects of variables besides the one being tested. An experimental group is also sometimes referred to as a treatment group, which receives a treatment in an experiment.
