Mechanisms of gene regulation include: Regulating the rate of transcription. ... Regulating the processing of RNA molecules, including alternative splicing to produce more than one protein product from a single gene. Regulating the stability of mRNA molecules.

Explain the difference between plasma and the formed elements of the blood.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Blood plasma:

55% composition of blood contains blood plasma. The plasma contains various proteins and coagulating factors. This mainly include the fluid portion of the blood. Plasma is a straw colored liquid that contains antibodies as well as serum.

Formed elements:

45% composition of blood contains formed element. The formed elements contain RBCs, WBCs and platelets. This mainly include the cells portion of the blood. Formed elements is red color or no color depending on the pigment present in the cells of formed element.

Describes how energy is produced from the power of water. In your answer, include the terms: ocean water, turbine, electricity,

lapo4ka [179]

Most hydroelectric power plants have a dam and a reservoir. These structures may obstruct fish migration and affect their populations. Operating a hydroelectric power plant may also change the water temperature and the river's flow. These changes may harm native plants and animals in the river and on land. Reservoirs may cover people's homes, important natural areas, agricultural land, and archaeological sites. So building dams can require relocating people. Methane, a strong greenhouse gas, may also form in some reservoirs and be emitted to the atmosphere. Reservoir construction is "drying up" in the United States Gosh, hydroelectric power sounds great -- so why don't we use it to produce all of our power? Mainly because you need lots of water and a lot of land where you can build a dam and reservoir, which all takes a LOT of money, time, and construction. In fact, most of the good spots to locate hydro plants have already been taken. In the early part of the century hydroelectric plants supplied a bit less than one-half of the nation's power, but the number is down to about 10 percent today. The trend for the future will probably be to build small-scale hydro plants that can generate electricity for a single community. As this chart shows, the construction of surface reservoirs has slowed considerably in recent years. In the middle of the 20th Century, when urbanization was occurring at a rapid rate, many reservoirs were constructed to serve peoples' rising demand for water and power. Since Hydroelectric energy is produced by the force of falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Building up behind a high dam, water accumulates potential energy. This is transformed into mechanical energy when the water rushes down the sluice and strikes the rotary blades of turbine. The turbine's rotation spins electromagnets which generate current in stationary coils of wire. Finally, the current is put through a transformer where the voltage is increased for long distance transmission over power lines. Hydroelectric-power production in the United States and the world!

Which of the following movements of ocean water has the greatest direct effect on the growth of producers?

andrew-mc [135]

I believe the correct answer is upwelling. Lets say we have producers such as plankton. well upwelling currents bring dead matter from the ocean floor up to the surface, creating plankton.

Match each scenario to its related biomolecules. Jack is eating a diet that will help him build muscle, so he eats a diet high i

Stells [14]

The options for this question are as follows:

A. Nucleic acids

B. Carbohydrates

C. Fats

D. Proteins

Now the correct answers of the match are as follows:

Jack is eating a diet that will help him build muscle, so he eats a diet high in this. D. Proteins

Explanation: Proteins help to build up the muscles. That's why people who want to do body-building, eat protein rich foods, like chicken, eggs, soy, etc.

Before a race, Ruth drinks a beverage full of this biomolecule to get energy. B. Carbohydrate

Explanation: This biomolecule provides instant energy to our body. For example, glucose is consumed before race, as dissolves quickly in our blood and provides instant energy. Glucose is an example of simplest carbohydrate.

These molecules in olive oil will help Ruth’s body store long-term energy. C. Fats

Explanation: Fats are the kind of biomolecule which is stored in our body in the adipose tissues. Also, when glucose is all used up by our body cells, the body starts to get energy from this stored fat.

Elizabeth has been advised to go for genetic screening to detect any abnormalities in her unborn child. A. Nucleic acids

Explanation: Every cell of our body has DNA, and it contains all the genetic information about the whole body. DNA is a kind of nucleic acid. If Elizabeth is going for test of the abnormality, it means she is going to test for the DNA of her child.

How many kingdoms are there in the domain eukarya?

inysia [295]

There is four kingdom in the domain eukarya.

Domain eukarya is made of eukaryote organism. Domain eukarya has 4 kingdom: Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. The member of Plantae is autotroph organism that has chlorophyll and capable of doing photosynthesis. Fungi has cell wall that made of chitin. Animalia doesn't have cell wall.
