Answer:
I believe it would be the one orbiting above the atmosphere or on Venus
Explanation:
There are no artificial/man-made interferences and being outside of the Earth's atmosphere more starlight can reach the observatory.
The cerebrum of the brain is responsible for maintaining consciousness, mental processing, and normal speech
Answer:
Protein is made up of 20 different amino acids. Each amino acid consists of a central carbon. This central carbon is bonded to an amine group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom and an R group.
Amino acids can be linked together when the amine group of one amino acid is bonded to the carboxyl group of a different amino acid. The COOH donates an OH group and the NH2 donates a H. The OH and H come together to form a water molecule, so this process is called dehydration synthesis - water is removed to form something new. The bond which holds the amino acids together is called a polypeptide.

<u>Answer:</u>
The main function of the ozone layer is to block most of the sun's damaging rays from reaching Earth.
Option: (b)
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The stratosphere containing high level of ozone molecules about 30 km to 50 km altitude helps to absorb the sun's ultra violate rays.
- In its absence, it would be very difficult for anything to survive. Plants cannot live and grow as the UV light causes weakening of plants.
- It causes skin cancers. The increase in UV flux will lead to increase in sunburn, blindness, cataract, causing potentially death of animals and plants.
Answer:
b) Operons for coordinated gene expression
Explanation:
Operon refers to a unit of genetic function and is mainly found in bacteria and phages. An operon consists of a promoter, an operator, and a coordinately regulated cluster of structural genes. The genes of an operon code for proteins or enzymes that mostly function in a common pathway. It allows a single promoter and operator or any other regulatory sequence to regulate the expression of functionally related genes.
For instance, lac operon consists of three structural genes that code for the enzymes involved in the catabolism of lactose sugar. The operon is expressed only when lactose is available in the medium. This pattern of gene regulation is not found in eukaryotes.
