Answer:

Depth

Explanation:

The ocean has three layers from the top to bottom containing different temperatures. The first layer is of warm oceanic water approximately 500 m think containing temperatures of about 20 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius. The second layer is the thermocline layer characterized by a decreasing temperature with increased depth. The last layer is that of very cold temperature that extends to the deep ocean floor. There are other factors which affect the distribution of temperature of ocean water which include: latitudes, unequal distribution of land and water, prevailing wind and ocean currents.

Answer:

The following factors affect the distribution of temperature of ocean water: (1) Latitudes: The temperature of surface water decreases from equator towards the poles because the sun’s rays become more and more slanting and thus the amount of insolation decreases poleward accordingly.

Answer:

The Answer is, B, C, And E. I just took it on USATESTPREP.

B) G3P can be used to form the backbone of triglycerides. Glycerol combines with fatty acid tails to form lipids.

C) Two G3P molecules can be combined through anabolic processes to form glucose, a six-carbon sugar required by cells.

E) G3P can be used in to synthesize amino acids, which contain a central carbon, a carboxylic acid group, and a variable R group. These amino acids can then combine to form proteins.

One of your fellow systematists has asked you to help her group organisms into a valid phylogenetic tree. At present, she has gr

kipiarov [429]

Answer and explanation:

Monophyletic species are the species whose lineage belongs to the common recent phylogenetic ancestor. As mentioned in the question, the girl has 3 species namely G, H, and K. Because there is no other criteria given, we assume that the closeness of alphabets would reflect the closeness of species. Thus, G and H are closer relative than K. Therefore, if she adds I, and J species in the list, all of them will be closer relatives and we can say that they are monophyletic now.

Explain what happens to animal cells if they are put in fresh water

neonofarm [45]

They will actually explode or burst

So What happens is the pure water outside has a high water potential while the cytoplasm inside the animal cell is a low water potential, water will diffuse down a water potential gradient through the semi-permeable membrane of the animal cell and cause the cell to swell (inflate like a fully-blown balloon), the result is that the delicate, elastic cell membrane can't tolerate the internal pressure coming from the cytoplasm so it tears causing the cell to burst.

Difference between incomplete and complete ventilation? any 4

Temka [501]

Answer:

Due to exchange of gases i.e. normal and abnormal.

Explanation:

The main difference between incomplete and complete ventilation is the occurrence of normal and abnormal exchange of gases. The mechanism in which the exchange of gas happens completely without any difficulty is called complete ventilation. It is the process in which the required amount of oxygen is inhaled or inspired and appropriate amount of carbon dioxide is exhaled out of the body while on the other hand, incomplete ventilation is a mechanism in which exchange of gases is not normal.
