An object with a kinetic energy of 200 J and Potential energy of 300 J, has a mechanical energy of what?
True [87]

Answer:

500 J

Explanation:

Emechanical=U+K,i.e., the mechanical energy Emechanical is the sum of the potential energy U and kinetic energy K.

So, the object has a mechanical energy of 200+300=500 J.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

transcription initiation

Explanation:

Transcription is a process by which genetic information from DNA is used to synthesize an RNA molecule, usually, a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is subsequently utilized to synthesize a protein by a process called translation. Transcription in prokaryotes has three steps:

1-Initiation: the RNA polymerase is a multisubunit enzyme (holoenzyme) composed of two α, one β, one β’ and one ω and σ subunits (α2ββ’ωσ). This holoenzyme binds to the promoter region of the template DNA strand.

2-Elongation. The sigma σ factor of the holoenzyme is released and the complex and the core enzyme (α2 ββω) moves along the template strand, thereby producing an mRNA sequence

3-Termination. This step can be Rho-dependent, where a protein named "Rho" recognizes the termination site and stop transcription, and Rho-independent (transcription continues until the termination sequence is reached).

In consequence, Rifamycin is likely to block the initiation of transcription because the core RNA enzyme needs to bind the sigma factor (σ) for initiation of transcription in bacteria.

jolli1 [7]

The correct answer is C. She added water that was hypotonic to the culture of organisms, and they ruptured.

Explanation:

In biology, a hypotonic solution is a substance with less concentration than the inner concentration in cells, this is the opposite of a hypertonic solution that has a higher concentration. Additionally, if cells are in hypotonic solution water or liquid will begin to get into them and this would make cells burst and finally explode and die due to the pressure in them.

This occurred in the case presented as it is likely the organisms collected from the ocean had a high concentration and therefore hen they were exposed to clean water in which concentration was lower, water entered into the cells and made them explode, which explains the only remains of them were bit and pieces.
