If 25 km3 of sand is deposited on a beach yearly and 28 km3 of sand is removed by wave action, the size of the beach would be decreasing, not increase.

First, there is a need to understand that the size of a beach is a function of the amount of sand deposited into it. The more the sand deposited, the more the beach would increase in size.

In this case, 25 km3 of sand is deposited annually but 28 km3 of sand is washed away by waves. The net amount of sand deposited can be calculated by subtracting the amount washed away by waves from the amount deposited. Thus

Net sand deposited = 25 - 28

                                     = -3 km3

Hence, the net amount of sand deposited annually is negative, meaning that the beach would decrease in size.

The antiparallel arrangement within DNA molecules refers to Select one:
mylen [45]

Answer:

c. one helix strand that runs from the 5' to 3' direction and the other strand runs from the 3' to 5' direction.

Explanation:

A DNA molecule has <em>two strands of nucleotides with a sugar phosphate backbone each, but orientated on the opposite direction </em>allowing for the base pairs to complement one another, making it a more stable structure. <em>When two biopolymers run parallel to each other but with opposite directionality (alignment) we have an antiparallel arrangement.</em>

I annexed an image of the DNA structure.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

What type of membrane proteins are integral proteins that move ions or molecules across plasma membrane?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Channel proteins and Carrier proteins

Explanation:

These are type of membrane proteins that transcend the entire length of  phosphoslipid  bi- layer  in the plasma membrane.They facilitate the movement of ions  and molecules across  the walls of the plasma membranes.

Generally, substances like glucose, amino acids, are too large to pass through the phopholipid bilayers. Likewise ions of  potassium, sodium calcium, because of their polarities can not pass through either. They are ferried across the phospholipid by  group of protein structures called channel proteins. Some are also transported across by carrier  proteins.  The process by which these protein structures  aided the  diffusion of substances across the phospholipid bilayer is called Facilitated diffusion.

Channel proteins are pores, that are filled with water molecules with the entrance  well gated.  That is the entrance  is controlled by part in the inner structure  of the protein  which can open or close the pores  like a gate to control the movement of ions across it. e.g Sodium channels are gated for  movement  of sodium ions by voltage or ligands(chemicals) during  nervous  transmission to elicits action potential. Like wise Potassium channels allow  diffusion of potassium ions across the phospholipid bilayers. it gates are shut when sodium channels are open; this  regulate ion exchange.

Their structures are well fixed in shape , specific  to the substance or ions being  transported;and the rate of diffusion  depends on  the like hood of opening of the gate or closure.

Carrier molecules  also in the membranes  do not have a fixed shape, and their transport  direction is determined by the direction of concentration gradients. Thus they can flip on either sides of the membranes to aid diffusion across. Their movement can  be both passive and active, and the rates  of diffusion depends on the number of available carrier proteins in the membrane. They are also specific to the ions they transport.And are not gated,

Therefore these two membrane integral  proteins  facilitate movements of substances across the phospholipild bilayers

Based on what you have learned from your rankings in parts a and b, why is it generally hotter in summer than in winter?.
lesya692 [45]

We feel hotter in summer than in winter because the temperature is generally higher than in winter.

<h3>What are seasons?</h3>

There are three seasons on earth namely winter, summer, and rainy season. In the winter season, the temperature is cold and during summer the temperature is higher.

Timing and characteristic of season depend upon the location of the earth. The time of a year region experience season depends on it is northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere.

The southern hemispheres experiences winter while northern hemisphere experiences summer. The cycle of seasons is caused by earth's tilted towards the earth. The planet rotates around an axis.

Therefore, We feel hotter in summer than in winter because the temperature is generally higher than in winter.

Explain its normal role and why scientists would regard it as the "guardian of the genome."
Burka [1]
The gene p53, also called the guardian of the genome is located on the 17th chromosome in human genomes.
It was given this alternative name because it has a role in response to damage of DNA molecule and in preventing cancer.
The protein product of this gene stops the replication of damaged DNA, activates proteins that repair the DNA damage and if the reparation proteins fail to fix the damage it activates the process of apoptosis or so-called cell death in order to prevent the damaged cell to proliferate and potentially develop into a tumor.
