Describe how sand dunes form and how dunes migrate

2 answers:

The wind is just strong enough to move the sand grains which were sorted by size by the wind. Heavier grains were left in place where as smaller grains were carried away. These grains kept moving till they were concentrated in one place usually up a hill. The grains climb the flat slope on the windward side and then fall off the steep side. The dunes may migrate slowly as this process continues, the grains at the upwind side climb the dune with the help of the wind and then fall down the downwind side.

Protein breakdown into amino acids is the statement that correctly explains the complex molecule.

Option (c);

EXPLANATION:

Cells in our body carry put several chemical reactions which in turn keep us healthy. All these reactions are collectively called metabolism. With the breakdown of complex molecules, it releases a lot of energy into the body.Through this process, Proteins are broken down into amino acids.

Various enzymes, specifically pepsin and hydrochloric acid breaks proteins into individual amino acids. They on further broken into a-keto acids. These amino acids reduces body weight and improves energy in the human body.

Which statement best describes the function of ATP synthase?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

ATP synthase utilizes energy of the proton gradient to attach phosphate groups to ADP.

Explanation:

ATP synthase is an enzyme that requires some form of energy to form energy storing molecule ATP, from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). Because of that, ATP synthesis is coupled with cellular respiration and electrochemical gradient created by the difference in proton (H+) concentration across the mitochondrial membrane during the transport of electrons through the electron transport chain. In plants, proton gradient is formed in chloroplast, in the thylakoid lumen through the thylakoid membrane.
