Answer:

The answer is "Option a".

Explanation:

Myelination was the myelinization mechanism of a neuron axon. The endothelium is enveloped all around the axon and isolates the axon that inhibits the neuronal message from leaking with the other neuronal axons. Inside this example, therefore, its tubes tape worked similarly to those of myelin sheath, which stops brain transmission.

A steam power plant with a power output of 230 MW consumes coal at a rate of 60 tons/h. If the heating value of the coal is 30,0
NARA [144]

Answer:

\eta =46\%

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we compute the heat output from coal, given its heating value and the mass flow:

Q_H=60\frac{tons}{h}*\frac{1000kg}{1ton}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{30,000kJ}{kg}\\\\Q_H=500,000\frac{kJ}{s}*\frac{1MJ}{1000J} =500MW

Next, since the work done by the power plant is 230 MW, we compute the efficiency as shown below:

\eta =\frac{230MW}{500MW}*100\% \\\\\eta =46\%

Best regards!

During genetic engineering, how do Restriction enzymes know what base pairs to act on?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct/closest option is b

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are enzymes (endonucleases) that cut short DNA strands at specific sites. Hence, each restriction enzyme has it's own specific site (between two bases) it cuts at. There are two types of end that can be produced by this cut; the blunt end and the sticky end.

A restriction enzyme recognizes (palindromic sequence) and cut in it's own specific end.

For example, if a restriction enzyme cuts between a guanine (G) and an adenine (A), and it cuts a palindromic double stranded DNA in the manner below, it produces a sticky end.

G║AATTC

CTTAA║G

And if a restriction enzyme cuts between guanine (G) and cytosine (C) in the manner below, it produces a blunt end.

GGG║CCC

CCC║GGG

Hence, from the question, restriction enzymes (although chosen by the scientist based on desired sequence to be cut) recognize the sticky or blunt ends itself.

Conduct online research and write a short report on the origin and evolution of the meter as a measurement standard. Discuss how
valina [46]

Answer:

People have come up with all sorts of inventive ways of measuring length. The most intuitive are right at our fingertips. That is, they are based upon the human body: the foot, the hand, the fingers or the length of an arm or a stride.

In ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, one of the first standard measures of length used was the cubit. In Egypt, the royal cubit, which was used to build the most important structures, was based on the length of the pharaoh’s arm from elbow to the end of the middle finger plus the span of his hand. Because of its great importance, the royal cubit was standardized using rods made from granite. These granite cubits were further subdivided into shorter lengths reminiscent of centimeters and millimeters.

Later length measurements used by the Romans (who had taken them from the Greeks, who had taken them from the Babylonians and Egyptians) and passed on into Europe generally were based on the length of the human foot or walking and multiples and subdivisions of that. For example, the pace—one left step plus one right step—is approximately a meter or yard. (On the other hand, the yard did not derive from a pace but from, among other things, the length of King Henry I of England’s outstretched arm.) Mille passus in Latin, or 1,000 paces, is where the English word “mile” comes from.

And thus, the meter has and likely will remain so elegantly defined in these terms for the foreseeable future.

"At 195 miles long, and with 7,325 miles of coastline, the Chesapeake Bay is the largest and most complex estuary in the United
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

Part a) Width of bay at Potomac River:

Given Data:

· Actual Width at Potomac River = 30 miles

· Bay Model Length Ratio Lr = 1/1000

In fluid mechanics models of real structures are prepared in simulation so that they can be analyzed accurately. A model is known to have simulation if model carries same geometric, kinematic and dynamic properties at a small scale.

Length of any part in model = Actual length x Lr

Hence,

Model Width of bay at Potomac River = 30 x 1/1000 = 0.03 miles

Since 1 mile = 5280 ft

Model Width of bay at Potomac River = 0.03 x 5280 = 158.4 ft

Part b) Model Length of bay bridge in model:

Given Data:

· Actual Length of bay bridge = 4.3 miles

· Bay Model Length Ratio Lr = 1/1000

Model Length = Actual Length x Lr = 4.3 x 1/1000 = 0.0043 miles

Since 1 mile = 5280 ft

Model Length in feet = 0.0043 x 5280 = 22.704 ft

Part c) Model Length of bay bridge in model:

Given Data:

· Model Area = 8 acre

· Bay Model Length Ratio Lr = 1/1000

Model Area = Actual Area x Lr x Lr

8 Model Area :: Actual Area =- (Lp)2 2 = 8,000,000 acre 1000

Since 1 square mile = 640 acre,

Actual Area in square miles = 8,000,000/640 = 12,500 square miles

Part d) Average and maximum depth of model:

Given Data:

· Actual Average depth = 28 ft

· Actual Maximum depth = 174 ft

· Bay Model Length Ratio Lr = 1/1000

Model average depth = Actual average depth x Lr = 28 x 1/1000 = 0.028 feet

Since 1 ft = 12 inch

Model average depth in inch = 0.028 x 12 = 0.336 in

Model maximum depth = Actual maximum depth x Lr = 174 x 1/1000 = 0.174 feet

Since 1 ft = 12 inch

Model maximum depth in inch = 0.174 x 12 = 2.088 in
