Eclipses only occur if the Moon is located within 0.5 degrees of the plane of the ecliptic, on a line that passes through the center of the Sun and the Earth. The Moon travels along an orbit that is inclined by 5 degrees to the ecliptic plane, so there are only two opportunities each month when it passes through the plane of the ecliptic. These points are called the ascending and descending nodes. Eclipses of the Sun only occur if new moon occurs when the Moon is near of one of these nodes. A similar argument explains why lunar eclipses do not occur every full moon at the node opposite the Sun from the Earth. this is what NASA said. hope it helps

Sorry for your wait! The second choice “ large scale insulin can be produced in relatively lesser time” seems to be the correct answer.

Since this bacteria can produce insulin identical to that which humans make, we could quickly and more effectively produce more of it at a more rapid rate.

I hope this helped! If it did, would you consider marking my answer Brainliest?

<span>The cpt codes that should be reported for this procedure are as follows: 64493-50, 64494-50.

Net production efficiency (NPE) is defined as the product of 100 and the quotient of net consumer productivity and assimilation.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The assimilation of the primary consumer is 5000 kcal/m2/yr, option C.

Explanation:

From the information in the question, the Net Production Efficiency, NPE can be calculated using 100Cp/AS.

Where CP is the consumer productivity and AS is the Assimilation.

Therefore, 20 = 100 x 1000/AS

AS = 100,000/20 = 5000 kcal/m2/yr. Option C.
