Answer choice: [C]:
_________________________________________

V = d / t  = 1800 mi / 40 min = 180 mi / 40 min = 45 mi / min .

Which very well could be "Answer choice: [C]:  45 m/min" ; except, this answer choice may have been written incorrectly—and should read:
                                                 "45 m/min."
________________________________________________________

Now, notice that all the answer choices given are in "meters" per (unit time—seconds or mins.

So, we need to convert:

45 mi.  to "meters", or "m".
______________________________________
Note the following conversions:
_______________________________________
 1 mi. = 1750 yd
______________________________________
3 ft. = 1 yd.
____________________________________

1 m = 3.2 ft.
_____________________

So, 1 mi. = ? m ;
_____________________
 1 mi * ( 1760 yd/ mi) * (3 ft / 1 yd) * ( 1m / 3.2 ft) = _?_  m ?
_____________________________________________________
On the "left hand side" , the units of  "mi", "yd", and "ft" ; cancel to "1" ;
  ____________________________________________________
    and we are left with:
______________________________________
[(1760 * 3)]  /  [(3)*(3.2)]   m  = (5280 / 9.6) m  =  550 m .
______________________________________________
So, we have:  550 m / min ; which match NONE of the answer choices.

However, it is possible that choices A or B, which are given in "m/sec" (meters per second); are among the correct choices.
____________________________________________

So, we convert:   550 m / min to:   "m / sec " ;
______________________________________
( 550 m/ min)*(1 min/ 60 sec) =  (550/60) m/sec = (55/6) m/ sec
                                                                                    = 9 1/6 m / sec .
_____________________________________________________
                                                                 which is:  None of the above.
______________________________________________________
                     Unless the answer choices were written incorrectly.

(Function) mRNA: carries the information in the DNA to the ribosomes where it is translated into amino acids of proteins, rRNA: helps assemble tRNA, mRNA, and amino acids to form the polypeptide chain during protein synthesis, tRNA: acts as an adaptor molecule, which identifies correct amino acids corresponding to the anticodon present on it

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Crustaceans and Molluscs play an important role in the oceanic carbon sink.

Explanation:

Carbon sinks can serve to partially offset greenhouse gas emissions. Forests and oceans are both large carbon sinks. Algae is pressurized to bottom of the ocean by long term sequestration. Algae then falls to the bottom of the ocean and TRANSFORMS to fossil fuels.

  • CO2 is not combustible.
  • creates carbonic acid in the oceans.
  • Reduces seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and thus calcium carbonate (needed for shells for marine creatures, contributes to BOTTOM-UP EFFECT)
