If I am a water molecule and I am in the physical state of vapor I would rise to higher layers of the atmosphere, where the temperature is lower. Upon reaching a certain altitude, I would go from the state of vapor to liquid (condensation) and form clouds, which are, in reality, a large amount of water droplets.

When rain started, a process also called precipitation, I would start to return to the Earth's surface, at that moment I would be being directly influenced by gravity. That way I could reach rivers, lakes and oceans, infiltrate the soil and rocks or I could be prevented from returning to the earth's surface by vegetation.

After that, sunlight would cause the water present on the Earth's surface to evaporate, causing me to return to vapor form and start the cycle over again.

Which of the following statements BEST describes chromosomes?
Blizzard [7]
<span>The answer is c. Chromosomes carry the codes for hereditary traits. Chromosomes are thread-like structures made of proteins and DNA. Codes for hereditary traits are present in a molecule of DNA. Chromosomes can be found in the nucleus of each cell. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell (not 460) arranged in 23 pairs (not 230). Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>

A state is looking to reduce the cost of transportation, which uses 7.10×10^14 BTUs per year. Currently the cost of 10^6BTUs is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$ 284 million dollars

Explanation:

If the energy usage of all transportation is 7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year, if their efficiency is to increase by 20%, The new energy usage will be (1 + 20/100)7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = (1.02)7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = 7.242 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year.

The energy saved is thus the difference 7.242 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year - 7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = 0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year.

Since 10⁶ BTU costs $ 20.00, then,

0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU costs 0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU × $ 20.00/10⁶ BTU = $ 2.84 × 10⁸ per year = $ 284 million dollars

So the state saves $ 284 million dollars in one year

Which digestive hormone is secreted when fats and carbohydrates, especially glucose, enter the small intestine?.
blsea [12.9K]

Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) a digestive hormone is secreted when fats and carbohydrates, especially glucose, enter the small intestine.

  • A member of the secretin family of hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide is an inhibitory hormone.
  • It is sometimes referred to as gastric inhibitory polypeptide or stomach inhibitory peptide.
  • The enteroendocrine K-cells, which are widespread in the small intestine secrete GIP.
  • The hormone gastric inhibitory polypeptide, which is released by intestinal mucosal cells, prevents the stomach from producing hydrochloric acid.
  • Additionally, it improves the islets of Langerhans' beta cells' ability to secrete insulin, which results in a considerable increase in blood insulin concentrations following oral glucose delivery.

Which viral replication cycle is represented in part A of this diagram?
Burka [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. lytic cycle.

Explanation:

The lytic cycle is one of the two viral reproduction cycle. Generally, it is the major reproduction cycle. In this cycle reproduction of the viruses takes place inside the host cell and produce more viruses. In the production of the more viruses the host cell and it''s destruction takes place in the end. The 5 steps that takes place are as follows:

1- attachment - viruses attach to the cell.

2-penetration- only nucleic acid or genetic material is injected into the host cell through the hole made by the tail fibers and enzymes.

3- synthesis - replication of viral nucleic acid and protein and envelope.

4- assembly - assembling of the new viruses formed.

5- release.

Thus, the correct answer is - option D.
