Is it the hydrosphere or lithosphere

3 0

Answer:

It is the interaction between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere

Explanation:

Lithosphere represents the crustal and a small portion of the upper mantle whereas hydrosphere is the region that contains all the water bodies on earth, in the form of ice, liquid, and vapor.

The ocean is rich in numerous marine species. These species when they die their hard parts are deposited at the bottom of the ocean. These include the shells of brachiopods, gastropods, and cephalopods. Near the ocean floor, the pressure is extremely high and oxygen is relatively low in comparison to the amount that is present in the atmosphere. So it provides these shells the necessary conditions for preservation. With the further deposition of sediments over them, they get buried and undergoes compaction due to the overlying sediments. In due course of time, it forms a sedimentary rock such as shale, sandstone, and limestone and is rich in these fossilized shells.

Thus <u>the entire process takes place due to the interaction between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere.</u>

How are the lytic and lysogenic cycles similar and different in terms of process and infection?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

<h2>Lytic cycle: involve that there is rupture( lysis) of the host cell and release many copies of virus. </h2><h2>Lysogenic cycle:  involve the insertion of the nucleic acid of a bacteriophage into host genome, known as prophage. </h2>

Explanation:

There are many  similarities and differences between lysogenic and lytic cycles that;

1. Lysogenic cycle of bacteriophage :

i)  in lysogenic cycle:  bacteriophage insert its DNA with that of a host, known as prophage and it replicates with host.

2. Lytic cycle of bacteriophage:

i) lytic cycle is that it results in many copies of the virus very quickly and the cell is ruptured and many copies of virus are released.

4. Similarity is that in both cycles bacteriophase inter into the host and use their machinery.

Answer: Homeostasis

Explanation: One way that a cell maintains homeostasis is by controlling the movement of substances across the cell membrane. The lipid bilayer is selectively permeable to small, nonpolar substances. Proteins in the cell membrane include cell-surface markers, receptor proteins, enzymes, and transport proteins.
