Hey there,

The correct answer is: You can measure it by the pressure difference it causes in the medium. Even in transversal waves, you usually have to have different units, (not meters), because the wave has electric and magnetic vectors and no specific height to speak of.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The area between 200 and 1,000 meters (656 and 3,280 feet) is the mesopelagic or “twilight” zone.

Explanation:

Light intensity in this zone is severely reduced with increasing depth, so light penetration is minimal. About 20 percent of primary production from the surface falls down to the mesopelagic zone.

What clues could you use to help determine whether movement of oslutes through the apicl and basolateral cell membranes is passi

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Clues that can be used to determine whether the movement of solutes through the membrane is passive or active could be the molecule size, membrane potential, and the presence/absence of membrane protein.

Explanation:

Solutes transport through the cellular membrane depends on the solute size, membrane potential, and the presence/absence of integral membrane protein.

There are two types of transport: Active and passive.

- Passive transport: It does not need energy; it is driven by a chemical potential gradient. Small molecules with no charge are transported through the membrane in a gradient favor, from a high concentration region to a low concentration region. There are two types of passive transport: By simple diffusion (small molecules pass through the membrane by themselves) and by facilitated diffusion (molecules are helped by integral membrane proteins to pass through the membrane). In facilitated diffusion, the helping protein can be a channel protein (hydrophilic pores that allow the molecule to pass with no interaction) or a carrier protein (proteins with mobile parts that suffer modification as the molecule pass to the other side).

- Active transport: It does need ATP energy to pass the molecule through the membrane, as they have to move against the electrochemical gradient. This kind of transport is always mediated by a carrier protein. These proteins join with the molecules and suffer changes as they pass the solute to the other side of the membrane. An important example of this kind of transport is the sodium-potassium bomb.

Categorize the examples of competition between organisms as interspecific or intraspecific.

Likurg_2 [28]

Interspecific competition
A type of competition in which organisms belong to different species compete with each others for same resources.
Example
Leopard and lion.
intraspecific competition
A type of competition in which organism belong to same species compete with each others for same resources.
Example
birds for breeding or shelter compete with each others
