1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer</u>:   linear diameter

<em>The linear diameter of moon is 3754 km. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Moon is the only satellite of earth. It doesn’t produce light on its own but reflects the light of sun and appears lighted up. </em>The diameter of moon can be found out using parallax method.

In parallax method moon is observed through a telescope from a point on earth the angle θ between the <em>diameter of the moon</em> and this point on earth is measured. This angle is mathematically equal to the ratio of diameter D of moon and the <em>shortest distance S between moon and earth.</em>

<em>Thus diameter of moon can be calculated by finding the product of the distance between moon and earth and the angle. </em>

Match the following enzymes involved in DNA replication with their functions.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

DNA ligase is an enzyme which can connect two strands of DNA together by forming a bond between the phosphate group of one strand and the deoxyribose group on another.

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes DNA molecules from deoxyribonucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. The enzymes play an essential role in DNA replication, usually working in pairs to produce two matching DNA stranges from a single DNA molecule.

DNA gyrase is an essential bacterial enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent negative super-coiling of double-stranded closed-circular DNA

Helicases are enzymes that bind and may even remodel nucleic acid or nucleic acid protein complexes. There are DNA and RNA helicases. DNA helicases are essential during DNA replication because they separate double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied.

Lemur [1.5K]
Niche refers to the role of the microorganism or a living thing in an ecosystem. When two organisms occupying the same niche, the possible long-term consequence isA. local extinction. This is because the relationship is competition which can outlast the other. Eventually, when the environment is changed, the organisms adapt too which erases the original attributes.

The transfer of energy from one living thing to another is called
pashok25 [27]

Transfer of energy from one living to another in a food chain is called pyramid energy.

So simply we can energy pyramid shows how much energy passes from one living to another in a food chain.

Food chain always begins with autotrophs i.e. green nature (plants). Which becomes producers.

There are different types of organisms based on food habits and their environment.
