How does wind cause ocean currents?

Biology
2 answers:
Mazyrski [523]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms.

Explanation:

... Surface wind-driven currents generate upwelling currents in conjunction with landforms, creating deepwater currents.

The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them. ... In contrast to wind-driven surface currents, deep-ocean currents are caused by differences in water density.

What is the purpose of the folded inner membrane in mitochondria
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Increase the membrane surface area which creates more work space

Explanation:

Mitochondrion (Plural-mitochondria) is referred to as the powerhouse the the cell because it is the site of ATP (energy rich compound) synthesis in the cell. Mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes; the outer membrane, which sheds the organnelle and contains it like a skin and the inner membrane, which folds over many times and creates a layered invagination called CRISTAE.

The folding of the inner membrane increases the membrane surface area inside the organnelle. Since many of the chemical reactions e.g. Cellular respiration (ETC and Chemiosmosis) occur in the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for the reactions to occur.

It is just reasonable that the more the space, the more the work that can be done.

People who suffer renal failure are treated with a medical process called dialysis. A dialysis machine carries out the role of t
V125BC [204]
The kidneys are the organs  responsible for filtering the body from excess materials like salts and other by-products that can be found from ingesting food and medicines. Without the functions of the kidneys the body will get poisoned because it can't process such waste and bring it to the excretory system in the form of urine and feces. 

The dialysis machine acts out as kidneys in the body, when it is attached, blood is transfused into the machine and the machine filters the blood. As this happens, the blood is then returned to body clean and free from toxins.

Thiobacillus denitrificans is a species of bacteria that obtains its energy from carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds such as
suter [353]

Answer:

Denitrifcation

Explanation:

<em>Thiobacillus dentrificans</em> is the gram-negative bacteria that is considered the chemoautotrophic according to its mode of nutrition.

The <em>Thiobacillus</em> is now used by the bioremediation scientists in the remediation of the wasteland as its ability to convert the reduces nitrogen forms that are nitrates and nitrites back to its dinitrogen state which escapes back into the atmosphere thus completing the nitrogen cycle.

This process of conversion is known as the denitrification and on the basis of this, the bacteria are named dentrificans.

Thus, denitrification is the correct answer.
