Answer:

D). A backup energy source is required to make up all short falls.

Explanation:

Wind is a renewable source of energy as wind can be replenished in nature. It is an alterntive source of energy which reduces some dependency over the use of conventional sources of energy like fossil fuels.

As the weather condition can influence the direction as well as speed of the wind currents . Therefore, it cannot be consider as a reliable source for availing the daily energy needs. Hence, a backup is required to meet the energy needs when no or very few amount of energy could be harnessed by wind power plant.

8. What would be the consequences if the human<br><br> body lacked internal epithelial tissues?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

The epithelial tissues have a role that covers the inner lining of the organs of the body and also covers the outer surface of the body and lining of digestive system. If the body lacks the epithelial tissues then the microbes will invade the body and will cause diseases. The food and other foreign particles will harm the inner lining of the digestive system. This will result in internal leakage.

The lagging strand is characterized by a series of short segments of DNA (Okazaki fragments) that will be joined together to for
scZoUnD [109]

Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

A) DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strand from the template strands. Both the strands in a DNA molecule act as templates, however both of them have different orientation. It was observed that 3'-5' template DNA produced a new DNA strand continuously in one step. However, 5'-3' template produced new DNA strand in fragments which were joined together later. This observation gave the idea that DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme. It synthesizes DNA in 5'-3' direction so 3'-5' template gave rise to a continuous DNA segment. However, for 5'-3' template, DNA polymerase had to synthesize in opposite direction i.e. 3'-5' which was not possible directly. So the enzyme replicates it in short separate fragments which are later joined by DNA ligase.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

pests can evolve defenses against pesticides over time

Explanation:

Pesticides are chemicals employed to kill pests generally. With continuous and indiscriminate use of pesticides, they become less effective because pests population often evolve a defense mechanism against them.

<em>With each usage, more and more pest population survive. Those that survive gradually multiply and pass the survival gene to their offspring eventually giving rise to a population that is genetically insusceptible to the effects of the pesticide. This is generally referred to as evolution by natural selection.</em>
