More solar energy reaches the equatorial regions than the polar regions because the equatorial regions

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is that the equatorial regions receive sun rays closest to the vertical (direct rays) because of their position relative to the equator where the tilting of the earth only mildly affects the climate. The climate along the equator changes very little through out the year and has summer like conditions for most of the year.

However the other regions may receive direct sun rays but for far more limited periods. In the months of July and August (summer months), the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and receives the most direct rays. The opposite occurs in December and January when it is tilted away from the sun and thus winter sets in, whereas the southern hemisphere is at this time tilted toward the sun and receives the most direct sun rays.

Answer: .OH, O2-, H2O2

Explanation:

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive and unstable species containing oxygen. ROS are formed when oxygen is partially reduced, thus they are all radicals with very high reactivity, attacking membrane proteins such as ion channels etc

Examples include peroxides (H2O2), superoxide (O2-), hydroxyl radical (.OH)

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "The sticky ends of fragmented DNA are joined with vector DNA".

Recombinant DNA or rDNA refers to the DNA that has been artificially formed by joining the fragments of DNA of two or more species.

The fragments are joined by creating the sticky ends in the DNA fragments.

These sticky ends are complementary to each other which helps the fragments to join to each other.

For example, the sticky end of a gene of interest and the sticky end of the vector DNA joined together to form a recombinant vector.

dedylja [7]

It is 122KJ of energy is used from the conversion of ATP to ADP because hydrolyses of 1 mole of ATP requires 30.5KJ of energy. Therefore, if 4 ATP is hydrolyses, it will be 4× 30.5=122KJ. ... This energy is given out because there is cleavage of high energy phosphate bond in ATP while converting it into ADP.
