Options:

A) their depth and distance from the shore.

B) their temperature and distance from the shore.

C) the type of plant life present.

D) the type of fish present.

Answer:

A) their depth and distance from the shore.

Explanation:

    The marine environment occupies about 71% of the land surface, its deepest parts reach almost 11,000 meters. In this environment two domains are distinguished: the benthic, which corresponds to the seabed, where benthic organisms are fixed or moving on the substrate, and the pelagic, which comprises the body of water, where organisms that swim actively predominate.

    As for light penetration, the marine environment has three distinct regions: euphotic zone - the most superficial region that receives the most sunlight; dysphotic zone - dimly lit region; aphotic zone - totally absent lighting.

There are three categories of marine communities:

  • Plankton - organisms that have a passive displacement through the water, being dragged by the marine currents. It is divided into phytoplankton, which are autotrophic beings (algae), and zooplankton (heterotrophic), represented by protozoa, small crustaceans and larvae of various animals such as mollusks and fishes;
  • Necton - beings that swim freely across seas and oceans, such as octopuses, turtles, fish and aquatic mammals;
  • Bentos - organisms that live fixed or depend on the substrate for survival, represented by algae, corals, sponges, starfish, fish and others.

In the Coastal Marine biome are important ecosystems such as mangrove swamps, coral reefs and estuaries.

  <span>In transcription, the enzyme that makes the RNA transcript must bind to the promoter region of the DNA before it starts making an RNA transcript. RNA nucleotides will be covalently linked together as the RNA transcript is made. The RNA transcript (also known as pre-mRNA) will be completed when the RNA polymerase reaches the terminator region. After the RNA transcript is released from the RNA polymerase, it will undergo several steps of processing, one of which involves the removal of introns</span>

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

   Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation as a function of the wavelength or frequency of the radiation. Simply, spectroscopy is the study of color as generalized from visible light to all bands of the electromagnetic spectrum; historically, spectroscopy originated as the study of the wavelength dependence of the absorption by the gas phase matter of visible light dispersed by a prism.  Matter waves and acoustic waves can also be considered forms of radiative energy, recently gravitational waves have been associated with a spectral signature in the context of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory as well. Spectroscopy, primarily in the electromagnetic spectrum, is a fundamental exploratory tool in the fields of physics, chemistry, and astronomy, allowing the composition, physical structure and electronic structure of matter to be investigated at the atomic, molecular and macro scale, and over astronomical distances.    

    The spectrum is determined by measuring changes in the intensity or frequency of this energy.  The types of radiative energy studied include:  Electromagnetic radiation was the first source of energy used for spectroscopic studies.  Techniques that employ electromagnetic radiation are typically classified by the wavelength region of the spectrum and include microwave, terahertz, infrared, near-infrared, ultraviolet-visible, x-ray, and gamma spectroscopy.  Dynamic mechanical analysis can be employed to radiating energy, similar to acoustic waves, to solid materials. The types of spectroscopy also can be distinguished by the nature of the interaction between the energy and the material example:Absorption- when energy from the radiative source is absorbed by the material.  Elastic scattering and reflection spectroscopy determine how incident radiation is reflected or scattered by a material.  Crystallography employs the scattering of high energy radiation, to examine the arrangement of atoms in proteins and solid crystals. Coherent or resonance spectroscopy are techniques where the radiative energy couples two quantum states of the material in a coherent interaction that is sustained by a radiating field.   Spectroscopic studies are designed so that the radiant energy interacts with specific types of matter.

Compare and contrast p-dependent and p-independent termination of transcription in prokaryotes.
iVinArrow [24]
Compare and contrast two mechanisms for transcriptional termination in bacteria.

(rho)p-dependent termination: requires rut (rho utilization site), rho protein binds, moves towards 3' end, DNA encodes GC rich for stem loop, RNApoly pauses, rho protein catches up and separates RNA-DNA hybrid

(rho)p-independent termination: Uracil-rich sequence causes RNApoly to pause, stabilized by NusA near open complex RNA exit, UA bonds to weak to hold, DNA-RNA hybrid dissociates AKA intrinsic termination

irina [24]
This type of defense falls under the category of Müllerian mimicry. It is a type of mimicry where two or more species mutually presents themselves as harmful. Müllerian mimicry describes a situation where species have similar warning signals and they share genuine anti-predation.
