Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which of the following best describes the long-term impact of using a nonrenewable energy source?

A: Geothermal energy can disrupt the water table and harm water supplies. B: Nuclear power damages the atmosphere by producing air pollution. C: Burning biomass to produce energy releases greenhouse gases. D: Coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants."

Answer:

D: Coal mining can pollute water supplies and kill fish and aquatic plants.

Explanation:

The use of non-renewable energy has proven to be a strong pollutant of ecosystems and biomes. Coal mining is an example of how the use of non-renewable energy degrades nature.

The environmental impacts of mining are diverse and varying in scale: from specific local problems to major biological, geomorphological, water and atmospheric changes. Therefore, knowing these problems and minimizing their effects is of great necessity to ensure the preservation of natural environments.

Coal mining can pollute the water supply and kill fish and aquatic plants. Not to mention the degradation of soil and vegetation that this activity promotes.

) An allosteric interaction between a ligand and a protein is one in which: (3 pts) A) binding of a molecule to a binding site a

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B) binding of a molecule to a binding site affects the binding properties of another site on the protein.

Explanation:

In an allosteric interaction between a protein and a ligand, the ligand binds to a site in the protein. As a result, there is a change in the properties of other active sites on the protein. These active-site changes may or may not allow the protein to bind to other molecules. There is a change in the protein that affects the affinity of the active site for other molecules. The affinity on the active site increases if the protein binds to an activator and decreases if the protein binds to an inhibitor molecule.

True or false: Most muscles contain a combination of all three muscle types, slow oxidative, fast oxidative, and fast glycolytic

kkurt [141]

Thanks to what we know about muscles and the fibers they contain, we can confirm that the statement in the question is in fact true.

Muscle is a type of tissue which due to coordinated systems that make up their composition, have the ability to contract. This ability allows for greater efficiency. In humans, the muscle systems are classified into three kinds:

Cardiac muscle
Skeletal muscle
Smooth muscle

Despite the different classifications and functions of each muscle type, each of these muscles contains a combination of three types of muscle fibers, which are the fibers listed in the question:

Slow oxidative
Fast oxidative
Fast glycolytic.
