Match the surface to its respective albedo score.

Biology
1 answer:
Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago
7 0

Fresh snow ---- 0.95

Soil----0.2

Ocean(high-angle sun)----0.05

Ocean (low-angle sun)-----0.9

Explanation:

Albedo refers to the fraction of incoming solar radiation that is reflected compared to the absorbed one.

A high albedo implies that a body reflects a huge amount of radiation compared to the one it absorbs.

A low albedo implies a high amount of radiation absorbed.

A white body for example will reflect all radiation that falls on it completely.

The nature of the surface affects the amount of radiation that will be absorbed or reflected.

Snows and glacier usually have a very high albedo. The sun is at a low-angle to their surface. Light that reaches here is in diffused form.

Soils, ocean water around the tropics generally have low albedo.

The following is a list of events involved in the activation of a cell by a steroid hormone. Which one of the following answers
ira [324]

Answer:

diffusion of the hormone through a target cell membrane

formation of a hormone-receptor complex

activation of a gene

cellular response to the hormone

production of a protein

Explanation:

Steriod hormone are primary hormones derived from lipids. Such as reproductive hormones i.e the testosterone and the estrogens, which are produced by the gonads (testes and ovaries). Steroid hormones are not soluble in water (they are hydrophobic). For a new cell to be activated by a steriod hormone, there are a lot of steps invovled, Steriod hormones must travel to their target cell bound to a transport protein (i.e diffusion of the hormone through a target cell membrane).

Once the hormone binds to the receptor in the targeted cell, a chain of events is initiated that leads to the target cell’s response (I.e formation of a hormone-receptor complex). Hormones plays a vital role in the regulation of physiological processes because of the target cell responses they regulate.

The message a hormone sends is received by a hormone receptor, (a protein located either inside the cell or within the cell membrane). The receptor will process the message by initiating other signaling events such as (activation of a gene) or cellular mechanisms that result in the target cell’s response. Hormone receptors recognize and respond to them (i.e cellular response to the hormone). Thus, the response triggered by a hormone depends not only on the hormone, but also on the target cell.

Once the target cell receives the hormone signal, it can respond in a variety of ways. The response may include the (production of protein synthesis), activation or deactivation of enzymes, alteration in the permeability of the cell membrane,  and stimulation of the secretion of products. etc

How to figure the scale diameter of a planet
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Planet diameter = 2p × (distance to the planet) × (planet's angular size in degrees)/360°. Planet volume = (p/6) × (planet diameter)3. Density = mass/volume.

Which one I need help
sasho [114]
Both of them are correct.

Methane is an explosion hazard in enclosed areas. Liquefied Methane floats on water and boils. The vapor cloud produced is FLAMMABLE

In landfills, the food and yard waste that trash contains is decomposing and releasing methane, a greenhouse gas that's 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
