Suppose that every car on the road burned up about two gallons of gas a day. For each gallon of gas burned, one pound of carbon

dioxide is released into Earth’s atmosphere. If 144 million cars are used in the United States each day, how many pounds of carbon dioxide are released into the air each week?

You want to find pounds of CO2 / week = lb CO2 / week



1 lb CO2        2 gal gas        144 * 10^6 car          7day
------------- x  --------------- x    ------------------    x    ---------
1 gal gas              car                   day                    week



Check what happen with units

 lbCO2      gal      car      day
----------- x ------ x ------ x ------- = lb CO2 / week
   gal         car      day    week


So the result is 2 * 144 * 10^6 * 7 lb CO2  / week = 2,016 - 10^6 lb CO2 / week


Answer: 2,016 millions of pounds of CO2 per week.

Arrange the events taking place during transcription in order: i) The pre-RNA undergoes processing ii) RNA polymerase moves down
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

RNA polymerase binds to the promoter

Polymerase initiates RNA synthesis at the start point on the template strand

RNA polymerase moves downstream unwinding the DNA

RNA transcript is released and polymerase detaches from the DNA

The pre-RNA undergoes processing

Explanation:

The promoter is the specific DNA sequence that serves as a binding site for RNA polymerase. The enzyme RNA polymerase recognizes the promoter sequence and binds to it to begin the process of RNA synthesis. The process of RNA synthesis begins at the start site where the process of the unwinding of DNA duplex is initiated.

The unwinding separates the two DNA strands at the start site where RNA polymerase begins the process of synthesis of the new RNA strand. The newly formed RNA strand and RNA polymerase are released from the template strand after the termination of the process.

In eukaryotes, the primary RNA transcript undergoes the process of splicing of introns, the addition of poly-A tails and 5' cap which in turn transform it into the mature mRNA.

If the liver begins to release glycogen because the pancreas releases glucagon, the amount of ______ in the bloodstream must be
zheka24 [161]

If the liver begins to release glycogen because the pancreas releases glucagon, the amount of <u>the concentration of insulin</u> in the bloodstream must be too low.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Glucagon is considered to be the primary catabolic hormone of the body and is produced by the pancreas.

When insulin in the bloodstream falls low, then the pancreas causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose. Insulin allows glucose to be used by insulin-dependent tissue.

The body releases insulin and glucagon to keep the blood glucose level stable in the body. Under stress, the level of glucagon increases in the body.
