D) areas at high latitudes
Answer:
Groundwater
Although this may seem surprising, water beneath the ground is commonplace. Usually groundwater travels slowly and silently beneath the surface, but in some locations it bubbles to the surface at springs. The products of erosion and deposition by groundwater were described in the Erosion and Deposition chapter.
Groundwater is the largest reservoir of liquid fresh water on Earth and is found in aquifers, porous rock and sediment with water in between. Water is attracted to the soil particles and capillary action, which describes how water moves through a porous media, moves water from wet soil to dry areas.
Aquifers are found at different depths. Some are just below the surface and some are found much deeper below the land surface. A region may have more than one aquifer beneath it and even most deserts are above aquifers. The source region for an aquifer beneath a desert is likely to be far from where the aquifer is located; for example, it may be in a mountain area.
The amount of water that is available to enter groundwater in a region is influenced by the local climate, the slope of the land, the type of rock found at the surface, the vegetation cover, land use in the area, and water retention, which is the amount of water that remains in the ground. More water goes into the ground where there is a lot of rain, flat land, porous rock, exposed soil, and where water is not already filling the soil and rock.
The residence time of water in a groundwater aquifer can be from minutes to thousands of years. Groundwater is often called “fossil water” because it has remained in the ground for so long, often since the end of the ice ages.
Explanation:
Mees lines. These are characteristic of heavy metal poisoning.
Carbon is the answer. Interestingly your question sounded like a riddle!!!
Complete question:
Knowledge of the amino acid sequences is important for several reasons. What is NOT one of those reasons
- Amino acid sequences determine the three-dimensional structures of proteins.
- Knowledge of the sequence of a protein can help to prevent mutations.
- The sequence of a protein reveals much about its evolutionary history.
- The sequence of a protein is necessary to determine its function.
Answer:
Knowledge of the sequence of a protein can help to prevent mutations.
Explanation:
<em>Amino acids connect to each other by peptidic bonds </em>to form a <em>linear polymer</em>. The number of amino acids composing the chain and the order in which they are arranged determines the primary structure of the protein.
The secondary structure is the folding that the polypeptide chain adopts thanks to the formation of <em>hydrogen bonds between the atoms that form the peptide bond.</em>
<u>Protein functions depend on their aminoacids sequences</u><u>.</u> <u>The primary structure of the proteins determines the three-dimensional one</u>. Proteins with different functions have different sequences. And among species, proteins with similar functions have similar structures.
By knowing the sequence of amino acids, we can predict the function of the protein and we can classify them into different families. Integrants of these groups have at least 25% of their sequences identical to each other.
Also, the knowledge of the sequence allows establishing evolutionary and genetic relationships between different species.
When a mutation occurs in the sequence -an alteration in the primary structure- the protein function is modified. BUT knowing the sequence of a protein CAN NOT help to prevent mutations.
