Answer:

The correct answer is Tectonic plate movement is a long-term environmental change.

Explanation:

When tectonic plates in the earth started to move, this process helped the planet to evolve and to shape the continents as exist today.

Different investigation teams have discovered that plates move approximately 2.5 centimeters per year. This movement is the key to the evolution of life and the development of the planet. This slow process involves mountain formation, rocks exposure, and chemical reactions that could stabilize the temperature on the earth´s surface for millions of years. And this stable weather is essential for the evolution of life. Plates movement carries carbon inside and outside of the planet, regulating the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (greenhouse effect). In this way, it can regulate the temperature. This regulation influence in precipitations,  chemical reactions that involve carbon release and minerals such as calcium, the water flow, volcanic eruptions, among other events. Plates tectonic is also responsible for life, as weathering and mineralization of the rocks release elements and nutrients that are necessary for the life of different organisms.    

So, up to this point, we can say that tectonic plates movement can not be prevented with planning, it does cause environmental change by regulating temperature, and hence it affects organisms.

There are short term effects and long term effects provoked by tectonic plates movement. Earthquakes are examples of short term effects, while mountain formation, ocean formation and, clime regulation are examples of long term changes.

Plates tectonic movement is a very slow process, that might last many years. The Andes formation, for example, started approximately 200 years ago, and these mountains are still rising. The subduction process has not finished as the plates are still moving.

A mutation in a G-protein prevents the alpha-subunit from dissociating from the beta/gamma-subunit. What effect will this have o
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

the pathway will be under-expressed.

  • the alpha subunit helps to bind with either GDP or GTP. when the α subunit is bound with GDP, it will be bound to β and γ subunits and thus forms an inactive state for G-protein.
  • when the alpha subunit binds with the GTP, it becomes activated and dissociates β and γ subunits.

if G-protein Coupled Receptor is unable from dissociating β and γ subunits, then the pathway will go under expression.  

The chemical qualities of the alpha subunit allow it to bind easily to one of two guanine subunits, GDP or GTP. The protein thus has two functional formations. When GDP is bound to the alpha subunit, the alpha subunit remains bound to the beta-gamma subunit to form an inactive trimeric protein.

G-proteins, cAMP, and Ion Channel Opening. The alpha subunit activates adenylate cyclase, in purple, and loses GTP. Adenylate cyclase converts ATP to cyclic AMP, which then activates Protein Kinase, shown in blue. Protein Kinase phosphorylates an ion channel, letting sodium ions rush into the cell.

As a result of the ligand binding to its site on the G-protein-linked receptor, A) the G-protein changes conformation and GTP replaces the GDP on the alpha subunit. ... Inactivation of the alpha subunit occurs when its own phosphorylase activity removes a phosphate from the GTP.

kirill115 [55]

The correct answer is option ''The stethoscope was invented because the physician did not want to put his head on women's chests to listen to their heart and lungs''.

In this case, the problem was that the physician's had a problem in listening the heart beats and the lung sound of the woman. To overcome this problem, the stethoscope was invented to listen the heart beat and the lung sound from distance, without keeping head on women's chest.
