Passive transport

Explanation:

This is a movement of a substances across the membrane without the expenditure of cellular energy. In contrast, active transport is the movement of substances across the membrane using energy from adenosine triphosphate.

The correct answers are:

1. Barrier island;

The barrier islands are island formed from the deposition of sediments, relatively close to the coastline. They are often in a linear shape, parallel to the shore, and being attractive tourist places.

2. Steep and rapidly exposed;

The cliffs are rocky structures that appear on the coastline itself. They are very steep, vertical, or even bent over the water bellow them, and they rise sharply above the water.

3. False;

The coastlines are changing constantly. The reason for that are the weathering and erosion processes, the deposition of sediments, as well as the rise or fall of the sea level.

High doses of caffeine interfere with the dna replication checkpoint mechanism in mammalian cells. why then do you suppose the s

Kipish [7]

Molarity = $\frac{Solute(in Moles)}{Solution (in Liters)}$

Moles of Caffeine = Mass of Caffeine/Molar Mass
Mass = 100 mg = 0.1 g
Molar Mass = 196 g/mole

Moles of Caffeine in one cup = 0.1/196 moles
= 5.102 * 10^-4 moles

If one cup of coffee is ingested (A typical adult contains about 40 liters of water),

Molarity of caffeine = [(5.1 * 10^-4)/ 40] M
= 0.012755 mM

The toxic molarity of caffeine in the body 10mM

How many cups will be toxic?
= Toxic Molarity/ Molarity of 1 cup
= 10/ 0.012755
= 784

In other words, you would have to drink 784 cups of coffee to reach the dose required to interfere with the DNA replication checkpoint mechanism.

tino4ka555 [31]

The statement above is TRUE.
The osteon is the fundamental functional unit of a compact bone. Osteons are roughly cylindrical in shape and they are typically several millimetre long and about 0.2mm in diameter. The osteon resembles the growth ring of a tree trunk.
The cylindrical structure of osteon is made up of four different parts which are a central tube, a lamellae, a lacunae and canaliculi.
