What is the difference between a positive sanction and a negative sanction? Which is more common?

Biology

A kind of behavior by a person's action is called positive sanction and punishments in an action considered as negative sanction.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The difference between positive sanction and negative sanction is as follows.

Positive sanction:

  • An action that results in a 'particular kind of behavior' is known to be a positive sanction.

Negative sanction:

  • An action of punishment or threat of 'punishment is used as a means to enforce conformity' is known to be a negative sanction.

The common point:

  • Neither positive nor negative sanction works if people by themselves are not sure whether they should be rewarded or punished for a particular behavior. So, there is no common line between Negative and Positive sanction.

vredina [299]

1. The RNA that has an amino acid attached to it, and that binds to the codon on the mRNA, is called a tRNA.

tRNA are molecules involved in protein synthesis (translation) and those molecules connect codons from mRNA with  the amino acids they encode.tRNA has anticodone that binds to mRNA codone.

2. The process, performed by the ribosome, of reading mRNA and synthesizing a protein is called translation.

Translation is a process of gene expression in which proteins are synthesized (translated from the codons on mRNA).

3. Initiation of translation always happens at the start codon of the mRNA.

Translation process can be divided into three stages: initiation (starting off), elongation (adding amino acids to peptide chain that is going to become protein) and termination (finishing up).

4. Amino acids are attached to tRNA by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.

These enzymes are part of the elongation stage of translation and they catalyze the adding of amino acids.

5. Termination of translation happens when the ribosome hits a stop codon on the mRNA.

Termination is the stage in which the finished polypeptide chain (future protein) is released from the ribosome.

Which of the following best describes gross primary productivity in an ecosystem?A. Gross primary productivity is the total amou
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

D. Gross primary productivity is the total amount of solar energy captured by producers through photosynthesis over time.

Explanation:

The gross primary productivity of an ecosystem represents the rate at which the producers of the system capture the solar energy so that they can perform the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, GPP is the total amount of photosynthetic energy captured per unit area over a given time period. Producers consume the part of the GPP for their own respiration and maintenance. Therefore, gross primary productivity is the sum total of the growth of producers per unit area per unit time and the energy used by them for respiration.

How does the Richter scale measure an earthquake?
USPshnik [31]

Richter's original magnitude scale (ML) was extended to observations of earthquakes of any distance and of focal depths ranging between 0 and 700 km. Because earthquakes excite both body waves, which travel into and through the Earth, and surface waves, which are constrained to follow the natural waveguide of the Earth's uppermost layers, two magnitude scales evolved - the MB and MS scales.

The standard body-wave magnitude formula is

MB = log10(A/T) + Q(D,h) ,

where A is the amplitude of ground motion (in microns); T is the corresponding period (in seconds); and Q(D,h) is a correction factor that is a function of distance, D (degrees), between epicenter and station and focal depth, h (in kilometers), of the earthquake. The standard surface-wave formula is

MS = log10 (A/T) + 1.66 log10 (D) + 3.30 .

There are many variations of these formulas that take into account effects of specific geographic regions so that the final computed magnitude is reasonably consistent with Richter's original definition of ML. Negative magnitude values are permissible.
