Which of the following statements describes primary or secondary pollutants?

Biology
1 answer:
mrs_skeptik [129]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C and E

Explanation:

The correct options that describe primary and secondary pollutants would be C and D.

Primary pollutants are substances released directly into the atmosphere capable of harming living organisms at a particular threshold concentration. An example is carbon monoxide. Secondary pollutants, on the other hand, are formed in the environment from primary pollutants. For example, NO2 is formed from the reaction of NO and oxygen.

<em>Secondary pollutants, therefore combine the toxicities of their component primary pollutants to arrive at stronger toxicity. Hence, secondary pollutants are more dangerous than their primary counterparts. </em>

The correct answer is options C and E.

Leokris [45]

Answer :There was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

Explanation:

The Great Oxygen Event marks the time, approximately 2.5 billion years ago, when there was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

For the first half of the Earht's history, there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. It was inhabited only by single-celled organisms.Of  those simple life forms, the cyanobacteria may have. evolved a way to take energy from sunlight, and used it to make sugars out of water and carbon dioxide. They used the same chemical process we know as photosynthesis. This released vast quantities of oxygen into the atmosphere and  triggered the evolution of complex life.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

(C) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have an additional active site that binds to non-cognate tRNAs. The tRNAs that bind to this second active are hydrolyzed and released from the enzyme.

Explanation:

In case of translation, proof reading is done by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases only. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have two mechanisms to avoid error during translation which are mentioned as under:

<u>(1) Chemical proof reading:</u> Incorrect amino acids rather than being hydrolyzed in catalytic pocket get hydrolyzed in editing pocket and thus they hardly get attached to tRNA.  

For example: For distinguishing similar amino acids like isoleucine and valine, isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase uses a second active site which is meant for only valine not for isoleucine. In this particular site, valine which had entered the enzyme is cleaved away with the help of editing reaction after which the enzyme is well prepared to process isoleucine which is the correct amino acid for this enzyme.

<u>(2) Kinetic proof reading: </u>Even if an incorrect amino acid has entered a particular aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, it does not cause appropriate conformational change in the enzyme because of which the incorrect amino acid loosens from the enzyme and does not get incorporated.

Note: In this example, only chemical proof reading is mentioned not kinetic proof reading.

Why can you not prove a hypothesis
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

To conclude, you cannot prove a hypothesis because you can never generalise the results to the whole population and foresee the results will always be the same in the future. You can however, reject the null hypothesis consistently, through statistical hypothesis testing so that the theory becomes highly likely to be true, but not proven.
