How did cyanobacteria affect Earths atmosphere during the Proterozoic Eon?

Answer:

These microbes conduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, yes, oxygen. In fact, all the plants on Earth incorporate symbiotic cyanobacteria. For some untold eons prior to the evolution of these cyanobacteria, during the Archean eon, more primitive microbes lived the real old-fashioned way: anaerobically. These ancient organisms—and their "extremophile" descendants today—thrived in the absence of oxygen, relying on sulfate for their energy needs. But roughly 2.45 billion years ago, the isotopic ratio of sulfur transformed, indicating that for the first time oxygen was becoming a significant component of Earth's atmosphere,

What 2 types of point mutations will cause a frameshift mutation?

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Insertion and deletion

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is when the entire reading frame of DNA is shifted, and incorrect.

Frameshift mutations can either be caused by insertion or deletion.

When insertion or deletion occur, a nonsense protein will be made.

So, the correct answer is insertion and deletion.

sean is performing barbell squats with the intent of building up his quadriceps muscles. to make the quadriceps perform more wor

umka21 [38]

To make the quadriceps perform more work and increase the efficiency of the exercise, Sean should minimize the amount of trunk flexion at the start of the concentric phase.

We can describe trunk flexion as forward pelvic tilt and flexion of the spine. This activity causes more pressure on the muscles of your quadriceps and hence helps in building them.

The quadriceps can be described as the muscles that are present in the front region of the thigh. These area has more muscle mass as compared to other areas of your brain and hence need to be worked on so that the muscle mass here can be reduced.

Put these statements in correct order to understand how hearing works. - Ions enter hair cells - Stapes moves - auditory cortex

OLEGan [10]

Answer: From the question,the correct order of how hearing works is listed below:

--> sound wave is generated from hitting a key on a piano,

--> Incus moves,

--> Stapes moves,

--> Sound wave enters inner ear,

--> Fluid in the cochlea moves,

--> Fluid wave moves across Organ of corti based on frequency,

--> Ions enter hair cells,

--> hair cells bend,

--> auditory nerve transmits the signal to the auditory cortex,

--> auditory cortex recognizes the sounds.

Explanation:

In mammal, two ears are present on each side of the head. It is know as the organ for hearing and balance. The ear is divided into three regions:

--> OUTER EAR: This consists of pinna, ear canal, and eardrum( tympanic membrane)

--> MIDDLE EAR: This consists of the ear ossicles ( malleus, incus and stapes).

--> INNER EAR: This consists of Cochlea (organ of hearing) and semicircular canals (for balance).

To explain further on how we hear sounds, the vibrations of sounds produced from an external source move from the outer ear to the middle and then to the inner ear where the cochlea, the organ for hearing is located.

As sound wave is generated from hitting a key on a piano, the pinna collects the sound waves and directs them into the ear canal. Sound waves impinge on the tympanic membrane and makes it vibrate. This causes the malleus, incus and stapes (in this order) to move to-and -fro at the middle ear region.

In the inner ear region, sound wave enters inner ear as stapes pushes the oval window in-and-out. The vibrating oval window causes the fluid in the cochlea( perilymph) to move to-and -fro. Fluid wave moves across Organ of corti based on frequency. The pressure waves in the perilymph push the membrane separating the upper canal and the cochlear duct to-and-fro allowing ions to enter the hair cells. As a result, the hairs of the sensory cells between these two membranes bend causing nerve impulses to be sent to the brain through the cochlear part of the auditory nerve. Auditory nerve transmits the signal to the auditory cortex which recognizes the sounds.
