1. The contour interval is 20.

Explanation:

On the map we can see a relief that is depicted with contour lines. The contour lines tend to be very close to each other in general so we can safely make the assumption that the relief is relatively steep, though in accordance to the elevations it is not a high one, but instead the highest points are actually hills.

From the numeric markings on the contour lines we can see the numbers 100, 200, 300, and in between them there are four contour lines. Since the difference in elevation in between every fifth contour line is 100, if we divide that number by the number of contour lines from one thicker contour line to another, which is five, than we get a value of 20, meaning that that is the contour interval.

2. and 3. A has an elevation of 80, B of 60, W between 301 and 319, X between 21 and 39, and Y of 400.

Explanation:

The contour interval is 20 on this map, so with the values we already have as marked on every fifth contour line, as well as the additional contour elements on the map or better reading of it, we can relatively easily establish the value of any point. We have five points in question, some being on the contour lines themselves, while some inside of them, meaning that for the ones on the contour lines we can give an exact value, while for the one inside we can give approximate value.

The points A, B, and Y are all marked on contour lines. A is on the contour line just below the one marked with 100, so minus 20 means that it has a value of 80. The point B is on the second contour line below the one marked 100, so minus 40 means it has a value of 60. Point Y is marked on a main contour line which is not marked, but it is the first thick one after the one marked with 300, so 100 plus means it has an elevation of 400.

Points W and X are marked inside the contour lines, so we can just give a range of value for them. Point W is marked above the contour line marked with 300 and there is no next contour line. Since the contour interval is 20, it means that this point can have value ranging from 301 to 319. Point X is marked below the contour line with a value of 40 and there is no other contour line below, meaning that the value can be in the range of 21 to 39.

Question: Using your understanding of the 4 macromolecules explain how Earth’s early atmosphere and the 4 molecules taught could
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Advanced forms of life existed on earth at least 3.55 billion years ago. In rocks of that age, fossilized imprints have been found of bacteria that look uncannily like cyanobacteria, the most highly evolved photosynthetic organisms present in the world today. Carbon deposits enriched in the lighter carbon-12 isotope over the heavier carbon-13 isotope-a sign of biological carbon assimilation-attest to an even older age. On the other hand, it is believed that our young planet, still in the throes of volcanic eruptions and battered by falling comets and asteroids, remained inhospitable to life for about half a billion years after its birth, together with the rest of the solar system, some 4.55 billion years ago. This leaves a window of perhaps 200-300 million years for the appearance of life on earth.

divine interventionThis duration was once considered too short for the emergence of something as complex as a living cell. Hence suggestions were made that germs of life may have come to earth from outer space with cometary dust or even, as proposed by Francis Crick of DNA double-helix fame, on a spaceship sent out by some distant civilization. No evidence in support of these proposals has yet been obtained. Meanwhile the reason for making them has largely disappeared. It is now generally agreed that if life arose spontaneously by natural processes-a necessary assumption if we wish to remain within the realm of science-it must have arisen fairly quickly, more in a matter of millennia or centuries, perhaps even less, than in millions of years. Even if life came from elsewhere, we would still have to account for its first development. Thus we might as well assume that life started on earth.

How this momentous event happened is still highly conjectural, though no longer purely speculative. The clues come from the earth, from outer space, from laboratory experiments, and, especially, from life itself. The history of life on earth is written in the cells and molecules of existing organisms. Thanks to the advances of cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, scientists are becoming increasingly adept at reading the text.

An important rule in this exercise is to reconstruct the earliest events in life's history without assuming they proceeded with the benefit of foresight. Every step must be accounted for in terms of antecedent and concomitant events. Each must stand on its own and cannot be viewed as a preparation for things to come. Any hint of teleology must be avoided.
