Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.

The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean<span> transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.</span>

A "dynamic low" is produced by ________. a "dynamic low" is produced by ________. the strong descent of air very warm surface co

Dmitrij [34]

I believe that a 'dynamic low' is produced by The strong rise of air.
A dynamic low develops if the air flow converges in lower regions of the atmosphere and diverges in altitude while the air is kept up in the center of the low. A low pressure area is a region on the topographic map where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that surrounding locations. Low pressure systems form under areas of wind divergence that occur in the upper levels of the troposphere.

All of the following are transmembrane pumps that facilitate active transport except?

BigorU [14]

Answer:

b) Channel pumps

Explanation:

The channels are the transmembrane proteins that serve in the passive transport of substances down the concentration gradient. The channels can be gated or non-gated. The gated channels are opened and closed in response to certain stimuli such as electrical change.

For example, aquaporins are the gated water channels that transport the water across the plasma membrane. The process is driven by the osmotic gradient and does not use the energy of ATP.
