Answer:

thermosphere(80 - 480 km from Earth's surface)

Explanation:

characteristics

- cloudless and free of water vapour

- the phenomenon of aurora is seen in this layer

- the bottom part of the thermosphere is known as the ionosphere

- the ionosphere has very high temperatures due to the presence of charged particles or ions. The ions function as a reflector of electromagnetic waves in long distance telecommunications.

What causes the formation of graded beds of sediment?

Mamont248 [21]

In geology, a graded bed is one characterized by a systematic change in grain or clast size from one side of the bed to the other. Most commonly this takes the form of normal grading, with coarser sediments at the base, which grade upward into progressively finer onesI just learned about this in our rocks and minerals unit for science,

How does the theory of endosymbiosis differ from the autogenous and horizontal gene transfer theories in explaining the evolutio

Llana [10]

<h3>Answer and Explanation;</h3>

Endosymbiotic theory explains the origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria and their double membrane. Mitochondria of eukaryotes evolved from aerobic bacteria living within their host cell and the chloroplasts of eukaryotes evolved from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria.
On the other hand according to the autogenous hypothesis, mitochondria and chloroplasts have evolved within the protoeukaryote cell by compartmentalizing plasmids or vesicles of DNA within a pinched off invagination of the cell membrane.

Endosymbiont theory is the theory that suggests that simple prokaryotic cells were engulfed by larger prokaryotes 1.5 billion years ago.
Autogenous theory is a theory that was proposed as an alternative to endosymbiont theory. proposes that eukaryotic organelles formed by infolding of the plasma membrane.
Horizontal gene transfer theory is an alternative to endosymbiont and autogenous theories for the origin of complex organelles in eukaryotes.

3a) label the structure of bacterium below i-vi

Radda [10]

Answer:

I. Cell capsule

II. Cell wall

III. Plasma membrane

IV. Nucleoid

V. Cytoplasm

Explanation:

In the structure of bacterium, I represent Cell capsule which is the outer covering of bacterium cell, II is the Cell wall that is located after the cell capsule. III is the Plasma membrane which is also called cell membrane which is the second boundary of cell. IV represents Nucleoid which like nucleus having genetic material, V is Cytoplasm that is responsible for the transportation medium for various nutrients..
