Answer:

Potential energy into kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The uplifting of water occurs due to earthquake in the sea floor is refers to potential energy while on the other hand, the movement of water to the land in the form of waves is the kinetic energy. So we can see that the transformations of energy occurs from potential energy due to earthquake into kinetic energy occurs due to movement of water in the form of giant waves (tsunami).

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Cell membranes are barriers which protect and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cells. It is a semi-permeable and selective structure.

In the passive transport system, substances move along a concentration gradient and it doesn't require energy. The examples of passive transports include; simple diffusion which transports carbon dioxide and oxygen, osmosis and facilitated diffusion which transports charged molecules like ions, sucrose etc.

In active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient. This requires energy. The two main types are: primary active transport, which uses direct metabolic energy e.g Na+/K+ pump, and the secondary active transport system which couples the transported molecules with another molecule moving along the gradient, example the Na+/glucose transporter.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

option C: B = 0.48; b = 0.52

Explanation:

Of the 50 mice, 12 were homozygous black (BB), 24 were heterozygous black (Bb), and 14 were brown (bb).

BB        Bb       bb    Total

12     +  24    +  14   =  50

the formular for alleleic frequency (p) is (BB+ Bb/2) / total,

q = (bb + Bb/2) / total

Allelic frequecy of B (p) is (12 + 24/2) /50 = 12 + 12 = 24/50 = 0.48

Allelic frequency of b (q) is (14 + 24/2) / 50= 14 + 12 = 26/50 = 0.52

check p + q = 1; 0.48 + 0.52 = 1
