Answer and Explanation:

The process of transmission of heat due to the movement of molecules in the fluid is called convection. Convection also takes place on a global scale. At the equator, warm and less dense air tends to flow and rise towards the poles. Then denser, cooler air sinks and flow back towards the poles. Due to the rotation of earth rising warm air from the poles does not make it all the mode towards the pole. The combination of the earth’s rotation and global convection makes a series of wind patterns known as convection cells. The earth's rotation also alters the airflow pathway, which causes the wind’s path to be curved as it travels between the equator and poles. In the southern hemisphere, winds turn to the left and move anticlockwise around a high-pressure centre, while in the northern hemisphere, winds turn to the right and move clockwise around a high-pressure centre. The twisting of air currents, due to the rotation of the earth is termed as Coriolis effect. Due to this effect, winds turn to the left in the southern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, winds turn to the right.

How can injury to tissue prompt cells in the surrounding area to undergo cell division?

Alona [7]

Cell division is the process essential for growth and repair in multi-cellular organisms.

Injury to the tissue can activate surrounding cells to undergo cell division with the help of mitogens. Mitogens are the chemical substances which help in escalating mitotic divisions in the cells.

They act by activating the signal-transduction pathway which involve mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).

Other possible manner could be the loss of density which could lead to the inactivation of contact inhibition. As there is a loss of cells during the injury, it makes an empty space which could also trigger or activate surrounding cell to start cell division.

In addition, at injury site the flow of blood also increases to transport various nutrients, clotting factors, growth factors etc. These increased nutrition and growth factors also speed up the process of mitosis.

During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

<em><u>Glycolysis produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH by oxidizing glucose.</u></em>

Explanation:

Glycolysis is an oxidation reaction in which glucose reacts with oxygen molecules and oxidized. By oxidizing glucose, it produces pyruvate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADH). Glycolysis has two phases. In the first phase, 2 ATP molecules are invested for the phosphorylation of glucose to break down into a simpler one. In the second phase of glycolysis, 4 ATP molecules are earned back with 2 NADH and a simpler form of glucose (6C) to pyruvate (3C) by oxidizing glucose.

You have the following consumable items that you do not want spoiled by the action of microorganisms, but you have space in your

Llana [10]

Answer:

Bread Flavored syrup (contains water, high sugar concentration, flavors, e.g., used to flavor coffee and drinks)

Explanation:

Food spoilage refers to a situation in which food is no longer fit for consumption due to the action of certain microorganisms on the food. Hence, microorganisms cause the spoilage of food and beverages.

The rate of action of microorganisms on different beverages depends mostly on the content of the beverages.

Yeasts are often responsible for the spoilage of beverages with high sugar content and these tend to spoil faster than other beverages.
