Oxygen entered the Earth's atmosphere after the appearance of the Great Oxidation Event (Great Oxygenation Event). The Great Oxidation is the first mass extinction on Earth.

The Great Oxidation lasted 2.4 to 2.0 billion years ago.

Oxygen appeared on Earth thanks to cyanobacteria using photosynthesis.

I'LL GIVE BRAINLEST!
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Ok so i will try my best to describe the answers:

1) a convection current is like a boiling pot of soup. the burner heats up the soup on the bottom. hot air always goes up because the molecules become more active, making them space out upward. the hot soup travels up through the center of the pot, and the cold soup up top travels down towards the edges of the pot to replace the hot soup that just moved up. the process keeps on going and going until there is no more heat, or until the burner turns off.

2&3) the sun makes everything warmer, so when the sun touches Earth's surface, it warms up the air around it. as soon as the air warms up, it goes up into the atmosphere, like the pot of soup example. then, cold air from the top moves in to replace the hot air. with so many molecules of air moving at one time, it makes gusts of wind during the movement. when it is really windy, that means that there is a lot of hot air moving up and cold air moving down. when there is no wind, that means that every molecule is where it is supposed to be, not disturbing one another.

I hope this helps :D

The partial pressure of oxygen at a particular point in the bloodstream is 100 mm Hg. Under what circumstance will there be a ne
jekas [21]

Answer:

c. There will be a net diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream only if the partial pressure of oxygen in the water is greater than 100 mm Hg

Explanation:

Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. If the molecules are gas molecules, they will diffuse from the region of higher pressure to the region of lower pressure.

Hence, for net diffusion to occur from the water to the bloodstream, the partial pressure of oxygen in water must be higher than the partial pressure of oxygen in the bloodstream.

<em>Since the partial pressure of oxygen in the bloodstream is 100 mm Hg, then the partial pressure of the gas in water must be more than 100 mm Hg in order for net diffusion to occur from water to the bloodstream.</em>

In muscle tissue, the rate of conversion of glycogen to glucose 6-phosphate is determined by the ratio of phosphorylase a (activ
victus00 [196]

Answer:

(a) When the enzyme phosphorylase is allowed to treat with the ATP and phosphorylase kinase, this helps in the activation of the more active form of the phosphorylase. This increase the process of the glycogen breakdown in the cell.

(b) PP1 ( protein phosphatase 1) removes the phosphate group from the substrate that results in the activation of the less active form of the enzyme. The process of glycogen breakdown in the cell will decrease.

(c) The hormone epinephrine causes the release of cAMP that increases the kinase activity. The active form of the enzyme predominates and increases the glycogen breakdown in the body.
