Answer: The main way the thermal energy is transferred from the rock to the lizard is by conduction.

The lizard stretches out and warms itself by lying on a warm rock. The rock becomes warm as the sun transfers its thermal energy by radiation to the rock. The thermal energy to the lizard by the rock is transferred by direct contact through conduction. The air above the rock and the lizard also gets heated up and the heat is transferred through convection.

True or false? One possible way to alter chromatin structure such that genes could be transcribed would be to make histone prote
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.

Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases).  This is the way of gene expression regulation.

The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes  condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).

Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.

The distinction between sensation and perception ______. Group of answer choices
Ratling [72]

<u>Answer</u>:

The distinction between the sensation and perception allows the researchers to distinguish between the information processed by the receptors versus the information processed in the cortex.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The sensation is a process by which the sensory receptors take up the signals or stimuli from its surroundings and send it to the brain through nerves. Whereas, in the process of perception the brain organizes, combines and makes patterns from the given stimuli and gives the response to the particular stimuli accordingly.

Both sensation and perception are connected to each other hence if one doesn’t work then the other automatically stops working.
