sonal rainfall in the tropical dry forest and tropical savanna biomes. (Hint: Why does the rainy season in these biomes come during the warmer months?)

Answer:

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)region gets the most direct sunlight at any given period in time. This in turn causes air to be unstable with a drop in pressure and rise of air which cools and condenses into clouds to form precipitation causing the wet season in the tropics.

In this region, the sun is directly or almost overhead as seen during summer periods in the tropics.

Only in areas of the North and South of the ITCZ known as doldrums which at times are parallel to the ITCZ do we have high pressure that aren't conducive to precipitation causing dry season in the tropics.

In the ITCZ zone, we also have the tropical rain forests along the equator with huge amount of all round rain for the year.

Along the equator, on either side of the rain forests we have the dry and wet forests with the savannah to the North of this region and the southern hemisphere to the south of these forests since these forests are seen mostly in the ITCZ than the savannahs.

Rain shadows and ocean cueeebts may at times cause some savannahs to be along the equator and some rain forests -wet and dry forests- to be positioned further form the equator.

How did the invention of the microscope change our understanding of microbiology?
steposvetlana [31]
Microscopes allowed scientists to observe Prokaryotic cells which make up Bacteria and Archaea. These cells are small and contain no membrane- bound organelles. It allowed them to observe Eukaryotic cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles that perform different life functions.

Which of these is a piece of evidence supporting the theory of evolution? The Glyptodon exists in some parts of the world. Emu a
raketka [301]

Answer:

The glyptodon is found to be similar to the armadillo.

Explanation:

A piece of evidence that supports the theory of evolution is that the glyptodon is found to be similar to the armadillo. Glyptodons and armadillos have many things in common, expect that glyptodons are much larger (the size of a Volkswagen beetle!) than an armadillo. The change from the prehistoric glyptodon to our modern day armadillo helps support that there is evolution because they still have many things in common. They are genetically related.

The ability of a hormone to affect the activities of a particular cell depends on that cell having specific receptors with which
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) The first statement is true; the second is false.

Explanation:

To be able to perform its role, a hormone must bind a specific receptor in its target cell. The receptor can be located inside the cell (in cytosol) or in the surface of the cell (transmembrane receptor). By regulating the expression of the receptor, the target cell regulates the hormonal activity.

The number of hormone receptors in a cell is not constant, it can vary depending on sereral factors, such as the age of the organisms, the effect of several drugs, mutations or diseases.
