How is hydro electricity produced step by step explanation ​

Biology
1 answer:
timama [110]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

ydropower, electricity produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy

Explanation:

In the generation of hydroelectric power, water is collected or stored at a higher elevation and led downward through large pipes or tunnels (penstocks) to a lower elevation; the difference in these two elevations is known as the head. At the end of its passage down the pipes, the falling water causes turbines to rotate. The turbines in turn drive generators, which convert the turbines’ mechanical energy into electricity. Transformers are then used to convert the alternating voltage suitable for the generators to a higher voltage suitable for long-distance transmission. The structure that houses the turbines and generators, and into which the pipes or penstocks feed, is called the powerhouse.

What complementary strand of DNA would be produced from the strand of DNA shown below?<br> TCG GA
mariarad [96]
Complementary pairing goes like this:

A pairs with T and 
C pairs with G. Nothing about this changes unless you get to mRNA (But we won't go into that) :)

So if you have a strand that goes TCG GA then your pairing will look like this:

T A
C G
G C
G C
A T

Hope this helps!! :)

If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the?
Anvisha [2.4K]

If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the muscle.

Although only liver glycogen directly contributes to the release of glucose into circulation, maintaining a healthy blood glucose concentration is one of the glycogen's key functions. Since skeletal muscles lack glucose 6-phosphatase, they are unable to release glucose, and muscle glycogen primarily serves as a local energy source for activity rather than a source of fuel to keep blood glucose levels stable while fasting.

In fact, the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactate allows for its delivery to the liver, where it participates in the maintenance of euglycemia through the process of gluconeogenesis (Cori cycle).
