Biology

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is the circulation of currents in the deep ocean due to the density of the water which is controlled by heat and salinity. Water in the ocean posses layers or defined boundaries based on the density which provides driving force to the deep ocean currents.

Formation of these layers is due to the sinking of the cold water in the basin which and ice formation which leaves the salt in the seawater ,therefore, increasing salinity. This increased salinity increases its density and the surface water is replaced by the sinking water causing deep ocean currents.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Why rapid binge drinking is more dangerous than slower consumption of alcohol?
Tpy6a [65]
The same way we never inject a full bag of anything quickly and intravenously. Your body would not be able to compensate for the amount of the substance. Alcohol or more importantly the Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol in alcoholic beverages is the active ingredient of such beverages. It is also a drug called a CNS (Central Nervous System) depressant which means it is in the same class category of Opioids (Such as Heroin and Morphine) and Barbiturates (Rophynol). Your body processes alcohol via the liver, as it is also considered a toxin. By consuming a massive amount of alcohol without spacing it out, you will overload your system, not only literally overwhelming your liver and causing Alcohol Poisoning, but you also can go into a state similar to a Heroin overdose.

The concentration of solute outside of the cell are_____than the inside of the cell
tatiyna

Answer:

If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ). A single animal cell ( like a red blood cell) placed in a hypotonic solution will fill up with water and then burst.

Is the sun is the ultimate source for energy on the Earth?
lana66690 [7]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Sun is the ultimate source for energy on the Earth. It is the natural and renewable source of energy on earth as it can easily be renewed and never run off. All living organisms which are present on earth are dependent on food for survival. For this, they become part of the food chain which provides them energy in the form of food. Food chain begins with plants as they are the primary producers in the food chain. They get energy for preparing food from sunlight in the form of light energy.

Moreover, the life forms which existed millions of years ago were dependent on sun for energy. The dead remains of these life forms have provided the non renewable sources of energy like fossil fuels on earth.

Thus, the sun is considered as the ultimate source of energy on the Earth.
