Airborne nitrogen is one of the largest sources of pollution affecting the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Excess nitrogen can fuel the growth of algae blooms, which can block sunlight from reaching underwater grasses and create low-oxygen “dead zones” that suffocate marine life.

Draw in 19. Protein channel and 20. Molecules that would represent a potential concentration gradient active transport
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

is there a multiple choice? or any other context? unsure what you're asaking.

Explanation:

i found this on the web if it helps though "During active transport, substances move against the concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process is “active” because it requires the use of energy (usually in the form of ATP). It is the opposite of passive transport." - khanacademy

Carbon atoms are able to A.give off electrons to form negative carbon ions B.bond with other carbon atoms to form long chains C.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Carbon atoms usually have a Lewis electron configuration of 2.4. To gain a stable electron configuration of 2.8, they usually form covalent bonds with other atoms such as another carbon and hydrogen. Carbon does not form ionic bonds because it would require much more energy for the atom to gain 4 electrons or lose the 4 electrons to achieve electron configuration. This is why carbon is a significant atom of life due to its versatility in how it bonds with other atoms including other carbon atoms. It can also form single double and triple bonds giving rise to many compounds, with the same elements, but with different properties.

Which of the following statements about paleomagnetism at spreading ridges is TRUE?
Pachacha [2.7K]

The true statement is that it evidences the dramatic negative results every time when the poles of the magnet get reversed.

Option D

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

There are two poles: North and South Pole in Earth's magnetic field. When lava erupts at mid-ocean ridge, it cools and becomes a hard rock. During this process of cooling, the rock becomes magnetised.

Scientists have discovered that the magnetic field of Earth has been reversed in direction hundreds of times, which means that the polarity of North pole and South pole reverses.

Due to this reversal, a pattern of magnetic stripes is created in symmetry on both sides of the mid-ocean ridges.
