Biology

Alika [10]3 years ago

A long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance. Undersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down. Tsunami waves are formed as the displaced water, which acts under the influence of gravity, attempts to find a stable position again.

Bright Light: Mary wanted to conduct an experiment to determine if the color of light changes how a plant grows. She selected fo
AysviL [449]

Answer:

color of light

Explanation:

<em>The independent variable is the variable that is supplied and often varied/manipulated by the researcher during the course of experiments. It is varied/manipulated in order to see the effect it will produce on another experimental variable - the dependent variable.</em>

In this case, out of all the variables supplied by Mary, only the color of light supplied was varied - red, white, green, and blue; other variables supplied were kept constant. Hence, <u>the independent variable is the color of light.</u>

What would happen if (G) guanine lined up with (T) thymine during meiosis. Please help me with this.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:they won't for a pair

Explanation:Basically it all depends on process called complementary base pairing, the structure of thymine and adenine is such that it forms two hydrogen bonds and therefore pair up

2.guanine and cytosine have such structure that they form three hydrogen bonds and pair up

So Adenine complements only thymine and guanine complements cytosine and there aren't any chances of guanine pairing up with thymine.

The greenhouse effect refers to what?
podryga [215]

The green house effect refers to gases trapping the heat energy reflected from earth’s surface.

gases trapping heat energy reflected from the earth's surface.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is the greenhouse effect that made earth a planet that supports life. if there was no green house effect the earth would have been too cold to live on. Sunlight contains rays like UV and infrared.  

UV rays being harmful are blocked by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Infrared rays that enter the earth’s atmosphere are trapped by the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane etc. the trapped infrared rays help in providing warmth.

black coffee has a pH of 5, therefore its H+ concentration is ______ times greater than a solution with a pH of 10.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

100,000

Explanation:

pH of coffee = 5

pH of solution = 10

Concentration of H+ ions between successive pH values are in multiples of 10

Hence, the pH difference :

pH of solution - pH of coffee

(10 - 5) = 5

Hence, difference in H+ ions will be :

10^5 = 10*10*10*10*10 = 100,000 times

What makes nekton swimming abilities different from plankton and benthos
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The nektonic organisms are those marine organisms that are found in almost every depth. These can move freely from one place to another in the ocean body due to its ability to swim. For example, Turtles, sharks, Fishes, and dolphins.

The planktonic organisms are passive swimmers, as they can move along with the ocean currents and are mostly found in the upper portion of the ocean body. For example, Diatoms and Rotifers.

The benthos is the bottom-dwelling organisms that cannot swim. For example, Bivalves, Corals and Sponges.

The nektonic organisms are different from the planktons and the benthos because the nektons can easily swim. They are constructed with such body parts that allow them to swim and migrate from one region to another region within the ocean water body. Whereas the planktons and the benthos cannot migrate easily and are considered as sessile organisms.
