Explain how thermohaline circulation is influenced by salinity and temperature.

Biology
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Thermohaline circulation is influenced by changes in density gradients. These density gradients are affected by the salinity and temperature of the ocean’s water. Cold water is denser than warm water and salt water is denser than freshwater. As water cools off, it sinks. As water evaporates, the salt concentration of the remaining water increases because the salt from the evaporated water remains. This causes the water to sink and circulate.

zepelin [54]
The drift explanation states that the people with higher socio-economic status (SES) tend to have better lives. It further states that genetics and biology plays an important role in the socio-economic status so that healthier people can enjoy their SES for longer period of time.

3.The reduced potential causes hundreds of a)________________________ channels to open on that part of the cell membrane. The de
wlad13 [49]

The reduced potential causes hundreds of <u>voltage-gated sodium</u> channels  to open on that part of the cell membrane. The depolarization of the cell causes more of <u>voltage-gated sodium </u>channels to open in adjacent parts of the cell membrane. This begins the wave of of <u>depolarization</u>  moving down the axon. Depolarization begins at the <u>axon hillock.</u>

Explanation:

When there is no neuron signaling it becomes polarized, termed as resting membrane potential (RMP) at a threshold voltage (around -55 mV), due to the action of the sodium-potassium pump and the potassium leak channels.  

When a change in the RMP occurs, depolarization takes place which causes the voltage-gated sodium channels to open and sodium ions rush into the nerve cell which in turn will increase the voltage threshold to nearly around +40 mV and also charges the neuron positive. This depolarization moves down the axon. This increase in threshold stops the sodium influx and opens the potassium channels to rush the potassium out of the cell.

All these actions decrease the membrane potential leading to a wave of depolarization and going back to resting state. Depolarization begins depending upon the potential gradient at the axon hillock.

Explain the application of the principle of genetics in agriculture and medicine
ASHA 777 [7]

applications of biotechnology in the field of agriculture and medicine are:

Antibiotics are created from the plants for human and animal use. An antibiotic protein in stock feed is more cost-effective than traditional antibiotic production.

It helps in the production of genetically modified crops that produce crops with desired characteristics.

Gene therapy is used for the diagnoses of diseases like cancer and Parkinson’s disease.

Genetic testing is another technique that is used to diagnose any genetic diseases in theparents.

DNA fingerprinting is used in the identification of criminals and solving paternity disputes.
