Answer:

Deep ocean currents (also known as Thermohaline Circulation) are caused by: The sinking and transport of large masses of cool water gives rise to the thermohaline circulation, which is driven by density gradients due to variations in temperature and salinity. The earth's rotation also influences deep ocean currents.

Answer:

From my side I think it is Photoreceptors cells :

A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction. The great biological importance of photoreceptors is that they convert light (visible electromagnetic radiation) into signals that can stimulate biological processes. To be more specific, photoreceptor proteins in the cell absorb photons, triggering a change in the cell's membrane potential.

There are currently three known types of photoreceptor cells in mammalian eyes: rods, cones, and photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. The two classic photoreceptor cells are rods and cones, each contributing information used by the visual system to form a representation of the visual world, sight. The rods are narrower than the cones and distributed differently across the retina, but the chemical process in each that supports phototransduction is similar. A third class of mammalian photoreceptor cell was discovered during the 1990s: the photosensitive ganglion cells. These cells do not contribute to sight directly, but are thought to support circadian rhythms and pupillary reflex.

A gas balloon has a volume of 106.0 liters when the temperature is 25.0 °C and the pressure is 740.0 mm Hg. What will its volume

ipn [44]

Answer : The final volume of gas will be, 103.3 L

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 740.0 mmHg = 98.4 kPa

Conversion used : (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa)

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 99.3 kPa

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 106.0 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $25.0^oC=273+25.0=298K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $20.0^oC=273+20.0=293K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{98.4kPa\times 106.0L}{298K}=\frac{99.3kPa\times V_2}{293K}$

$V_2=103.3L$

Therefore, the final volume of gas will be, 103.3 L

Why are chemical sanitizers ineffective in killing microbes present in cracks and crevices?

Strike441 [17]

Microbes are so small that they are able to "hide" in the cracks and crevices in your hand even with the help of sanitizer it only kills 99% not 100% so font dump that soap yet because you'll be wanting to kill that 1% that is causing you disease and fermintation
