Answer:

radiation = transfer of energy from the Sun

infrared radiation = takes the form of heat

ultraviolet radiation = causes skin cancer and sunburn

electromagnetic wave = how Sun's energy travels to Earth

visible light = made of colors that the eye can see

Explanation:

Radiation is the transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or a vacuum or through a material medium. The energy produced by the sun is transferred to other bodies such as the earth through radiation.

Infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eyes but that takes the form of heat energy.

Ultraviolet radiation is an invisible form of electromagnetic radiation. It is produced by the sun and overexposure to it can cause sunburns, skin cancer and possibly blindness.

Electromagnetic waves are waves that are produced as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. The energy from the sun travels in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Visible light is a form of electromagnetic wave produced by the sun as well, that makes up the visible colors that we can see such as red, blue, green, etc.

Chargaff's rules of base pairing are explained by which structural feature of DNA? A. Each strand of DNA contains a phosphate an

solong [7]

Answer:

Option C. is correct.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rules, DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) from any species of an organism should have purine and pyrimidine bases in the ratio $1:1$

This ratio is very important for solving the structure of DNA.

As per this rule, DNA is double-stranded, and covalent bonds between identical nucleotides hold the strands together.

So, Option C. is correct.

Neuroglia that control the chemical environment around neurons by buffering potassium and recapturing neurotransmitters are ____

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Astrocytes

Explanation:

Astrocytes are star shaped glial cells and are the most abundant glial cells in the group. Thy have gap junctions with pottasium and calcium channels that refulate the concentration of the ions in the environment creating a buffer that ensures the neurons function effectively during saltatory condution when ions are released outside their membrane. They also capture any unused neurotransmitters during cell communication by neurons at the synaptic junctions.

Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell?Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell?

denis23 [38]

Hello good afternoon...God bless :) here is the answer to your following question...

Explanation:

Osmosis is important to cells because it allows them to maintain water homeostasis. The most important function of osmosis is stabilising the internal environment of an organism by keeping the water and intercellular fluids levels balanced. In all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis. This obviously is essential to the survival of a cell.
