Primary Pollutant:

1. They are pollutants which are passed into environment in the form they are produced.

2. They belong to various categories like particulate, aerosol, reduced, oxidized.

3. They are less toxic.

4. They do not show synergism.

5. Primary pollutants persist in the form they are released in the environment.

When translating secretory or membrane proteins, ribosomes are directed to the ERmembrane byA) a specific characteristic of the

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

B) a signal-recognition particle that brings ribosomes to a receptor protein in the ER membrane.

Explanation:

Each synthesized protein has to be targeted to the specific location and transported to that location. There are two possible ways for that transport: post-translational transport or co-translational transport.

• Co-translational transport occurs during the process of translation, and proteins transported this way are proteins bound for organelles in the endomembrane system (such as the ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosome), plasma membrane proteins or proteins for the exterior of the cell. They have an amino sequence called a signal peptide which sends them to ER first.

• Proteins that do not have a signal peptide stay in the cytosol so, their transport is after the translation (post-translational).

Why are both mitosis and meiosis important in passing on information from one generation to the next?

nignag [31]

Mitosis makes copies of the host, so it is a good option to increase the population because it is a fast process. Meiosis is important to create genetic diversity, because it makes four genetically different haploid cells, instead of two genetically identical diploid cells, as mitosis does.

Mantle plumes are areas of hot, upwelling mantle and hot spots develops above these plumes as noted in the map above. Magma gene

harkovskaia [24]

The answer is C) extrusive igneous. This rock starts as magma, so you know it must be a type of igneous rock. The question tells you that the rock forms when it is cooled by the water, so you know it is formed outside of the Earth's interior, therefore making it extrusive igneous rock.
