Almost 50 percent of water withdrawn in the US, is used up by thermoelectric power plants. The table below shows the amount of w

ater withdrawn in the U.S., in billion gallons per year, between 1950 and 2005.
Year Amount of water withdrawn in the US (in billion gallons per year)
1950 180
1965 340
1975 420
1990 410
2005 410

Based on the table, which of these conclusions is most likely correct?

The number of thermal power plants decreased between 1950 and 1975.

The number of thermal power plants increased between 1950 and 1975.

Thermoelectric power plants used very little water between 1975 and 2005.

Thermoelectric power plants produced very little energy between 1975 and 2005.

Answer:

The number of thermal power plants increased between 1950 and 1975.

Explanation:

Here, the table that shows the amount of water withdrawn in billion gallons per year, between 1950 and 2005,

Year              1950            1965            1975            1990           2005

Amount         180              340             420               410              410

Since, 420 > 180,

Also, 50 percent of water withdrawn is used up by thermometric power plants.

Thus, thermal power plants in 1975 > thermal power plant in 1950

Therefore, the number of thermal power plants increased between 1950 and 1975.

Second option is correct.

Note : first option is incorrect.

Since, by the above table,

The least amount of water used by power plant is 180 billion gallons per year,

Thus, third option is incorrect,

Now, the table does not represents energy produced,

Fourth option can not be said correct.

List ten factors which can be involved in regulating bacterial gene expression (includes specificity and level of expression). "
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

At least 6 were provided:

1. Transcription.

2. Chromatin domains.

3. mRNA degradation.

4. RNA transport.

5. Translation.

6. Post-transcriptional modification.

Explanation:

Chromatin domains.

Changes to the epigenome can result in changes to the structure of chromatin and changes to the function of the genome.

Transcription.

During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript.

Post-transcriptional modification.

is a set of biological processes common to most eukaryotic cells by which an RNA primary transcript is chemically altered following transcription from a gene to produce a mature, functional RNA molecule that can then leave the nucleus and perform any of a variety of different functions in the cell.

RNA transport.

mRNA is created during the process of transcription, where the enzyme RNA polymerase converts genes into primary transcript mRNA (also known as pre-mRNA). This pre-mRNA usually still contains introns, regions that will not go on to code for the final amino acid sequence.

Translation.

In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in the ribosome decoding center to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide.

mRNA degradation.

Different mRNAs within the same cell have distinct lifetimes (stabilities). In bacterial cells, individual mRNAs can survive from seconds to more than an hour. However, the lifetime averages between 1 and 3 minutes, making bacterial mRNA much less stable than eukaryotic mRNA.
