What factor affects the temperature of ocean water?

Biology

lilavasa [31]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>Depth</u>

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.

What term is used to describe bacterial cells that can naturally take up dna from their environment?
Maru [420]
<h2>The correct answer is: Competent cells</h2>

Explanation:

  • Bacterial cells have the capability of incorporating foreign naked DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid fragments from the environment or the exterior of the cell to the interior of the cell. This process is known as Transformation.
  • The bacterial cells which are able to undergo transformation are called Competent bacterial cells.
  • Some of the bacterial cells are naturally competent like<em> Bacillus subtilis, Streptocossus pneumoniae</em> while others  like <em>Escherishia coli </em>need to be chemically treated to make them artificially competent.
  • In natural competence, the foreign DNA from the cell exterior is incorporated into the cell interior through specific protein complexes present in the plasma membrane of the bacterial cells.
  • In artificial competence, the negative charge on foreign DNA is masked by positively charged calcium ions (so that it is not repelled by the negative charge of the lipid bilayer of the bacterial cell plasma membrane) and then small pores are created in the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane of the bacterial cells by giving a heat shock to the cells. This results in the uptake of the DNA by the bacterial cells.

According to the fossil record found in these sedimentary layers, what conclusion can be drawn about the movement of life to lan
timofeeve [1]

The correct answer is: B) As land plants became more complex, animal life did as well.

This is because land could not be colonized by other organisms such as animals until land plants became established-there was nothing for animals to feed on.

So, plants were one of the earliest organisms to leave the water and colonize land.

24. An investigator examines voltages resulting from changes in membrane permeabilities. If the cell membrane suddenly had 100 p
omeli [17]

Answer:

Generally, K+ ions ensures re-polarization of  the membrane potential. It always ensures that the neuron returns its resting  state, protecting the  neurons and ensuring episode of rest before the next action potential.

K+ does this by leaving the axon, making the inner layer more negative. This is resting membrane potential. Because there are many K+ channels for leakages out of the neuronal axons.

Therefore, in this scenario, he neuron will return to its resting membrane potential state which between values -50 to -75mV.

Therefore the value of the potential will be -60mV, or within the range of -50 to -60mV. This is because the neuron is is non- excitable.
