Making Inferences: Fossils of Mesosaurus, have been found only in Africa and South America. Using what you know about plate tect

The fossil of Mesosaurus proves the hypothesis of "continental drift". This can be defined as the gradual movement of continents across earth's surface by the movement of tectonic plates. This fossil is an example of the other fossils that are found on separate continents and no where else, this suggests that the continents were once joined. The distance between South America and Africa is not less, it is physiologically not possible for Mesosaurus to swim between  two continents. This proves that once the continents were joined and as a result of continental drift they are separated.

1) There is a larger number of hydrophilic molecules on the outside of a cell than on the inside. Identify the conditions that c
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<h2>C. placing carrier proteins in the membrane.</h2>

Explanation:

If there is no barrier preventing molecules from moving molecules, then there will be large movement of molecules  from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This passive process is known as diffusion. The phospholipid bilayer of a cell's membrane works as a barrier to large molecules, ions, and most hydrophilic molecules. Whereas small hydrophobic molecules can pass freely through the phospholipid bilayer, other molecules and ions are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Some transport proteins, allowing hydrophilic molecules and ions to passively move through them and across the cell membrane.

Examples: carrier proteins and channel proteins.

Placing carrier proteins in the cell membrane will allow the molecule to reach equal concentrations on the both the sides of the membrane and maintain that way over long time. In contrast, transport proteins known as pumps will use cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.

Placing equal numbers of intracellularly directed and extracellularly directed pumps would also equalize the concentrations of a molecule long over time. Pumps are to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, such as the sodium-potassium pump continuously moves sodium ions out of a cell.  

Through the use of carrier proteins, there is equalization of  concentrations of a hydrophilic molecule. This equalize the numbers of molecules on the inside and outside of the cell, but the pumps would continue moving the molecule inward, eventually resulting in more molecules inside of the cell than out.

Why are bullets shot into a barrel of water for testing?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

One of these specifications is a characteristic known as rifling, which refers to the spiral lands and grooves placed into the firearm's barrel to impart a spin on the bullet for accuracy. ... Examiners generally test fire into a water recovery tank to obtain comparison bullets for evaluation under the microscope.

Jenner's successful use of cowpox virus as a vaccine against the smallpox virus was due to the fact that ______. (A) the cowpox
irinina [24]

Answer: option C) cowpox and smallpox are caused by the same virus

Explanation:

Cowpox is a skin disease that affects cattle. It is caused by an Orthopoxvirus, with lesions occurring principally on the udder and teats of the animals.

Human infection may occur from touching infected cows, and thus giving immunity to smallpox (an acute infection caused by the same poxyvirus, in HUMANS)

So, Jenner's successful use was because cowpox and smallpox are caused by the same virus
