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.

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that o

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF) from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.

Rabbits, turtles, fish, humans, and whales all share certain characteristics but also differ from each other. All of these speci

Delvig [45]

The levels of organisation are

Domain: Eukarya

Kingdom Animalia

Phylum :Chordata

Explanation:

They all share these levels of organisation because;

for the Domain Eukarya, they have;

→multi-cellular cells containing nucleus; and other membrane bound organelle.e.g Mitochondrial.

→their DNA located in the nucleus packaged as linear chromosomes bounded by histone proteins.

→mode of reproduction which is sexual.

They share Kingdom Animalia because;

→they have multi-cellular, specialised cells, bounded by plasma membranes.

→they have specialized tissues, organs, and system.

→they all undergo heterotrophic mode of nutrition as evident in the question 'that they must consume plants and animals as source of energy'

→they exchanged communication by nervous ssytem and 

→ use homeostatic mechanisms to regulate water balance of the body through the kidney.

→Humans,Rabbits,and whales are VIVIPAROUS; they give birth to young ones alive.

→Most fishes lay eggs to reproduce, they are said to be Ovoviviparous.

They belong to phylum Chordata because ;

→they all have noto chord; which serve as template for axial skeleton.

dorsal hollow nerve cord -template for the brain and spinal cord

→pharyngeal slits- templates for gill aches in bony fishes and components of inner ear in land animals.

→ tail length varies in these organisms.
