9. On some small islands in the Pacific Ocean, the average sea level is rising on the beaches little by little each year. Reside

nts of the islands are worried that their island, and their homes, may become flooded in a few years. What is the most likely cause for the water level to increase?
a. They are getting more rain in their area.
b. The tides are more dramatic because of the number of full moons they have experienced.
c. Ice from the North and South poles is melting and adding to the water in the ocean.
d. The waves are bigger because of increased winds.

10. Hurricanes are large storms that form over warm waters out in the ocean. Hurricanes are associated with low-pressure regions in the atmosphere. How does the low pressure associated with a hurricane help them to grow big and powerful?
a. Air in the atmosphere tends to move toward low-pressure regions, which would increase the winds surrounding a hurricane.
b. Low-pressure regions push away other air in the atmosphere, which would make the hurricane bigger.
c. Low-pressure air heats up the water and therefore makes the hurricane stronger.
d. Low-pressure conditions means slow winds, which makes the hurricane stronger.

11. Based on the northern location of England on the map, it appears that it would have a cold, harsh climate. In reality, England has a mild climate because of the warm Gulf Stream current in the Atlantic Ocean. How does the Gulf Stream current help keep England's climate mild?
a. The warm water of the Gulf Stream warms the land of England where they meet.
b. The warm Gulf Stream waters heat the air over the ocean, which then moves over England.
c. The warm Gulf Stream waters make the air very humid, which results in a milder climate in England.
d. The warm Gulf Stream waters attract the cold air from England, thus keeping England mild.

12. The atmosphere surrounding Earth helps to maintain the various climates found around the world and keeps Earth from becoming extremely cold all over. How does the atmosphere help to keep Earth insulated and warm?
a. The atmosphere creates heat as Earth moves through space, helping to insulate Earth.
b. The atmosphere traps the heat generated by Earth's core and helps maintain Earth's climate.
c. The atmosphere helps spread the warmth from the water near the equator to other parts of Earth.
d. The atmosphere helps trap heat energy from the Sun and energy radiated from Earth to maintain the climate.

13. Convection currents in the atmosphere influence many weather patterns. What property of the air has the most influence on convection currents?
a. the direction of the wind
b. the velocity of the wind
c. the temperature of the air
d. the mass of the air

14. When nitrogen is returned to the soil when dead plants decompose, the interaction is between which two spheres?
a. Hydrosphere and geosphere
b. Cryosphere and geosphere

Why are there nucleotides (A, T, G, and C) in the master mix? What are the other components of the master mix, and what are thei
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: Nucleotides are the monomers used for DNA synthesis. The mix also contains a template, DNA taq polymerase, buffer, reverse and foward primer and magnesium ions.

Explanation:

A PCR master mix is a premixed solution that has all of the components for a Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This reaction is a laboratory technique that amplifies small fragments of DNA into millions of copies.

The master mix used for that contains dNTPs (nucleotides). In the DNA there are four types of nucleotides that are differentiated by the nitrogen base they have: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T).

<u>Since nucleotides are the monomers that make DNA, they are found in the mix because they are the material for DNA synthesis.</u>

The reaction mixture also requires;

  • DNA template, the sequence of DNA to be amplified
  • DNA taq polymerase, a heat resistant enzyme that assembles nucleotides into a new DNA
  • Salt buffer, for an optimum ionic environment and pH
  • Oligonucleotide primers (reverse and foward), pieces of DNA complementary to the template. Each hybridizes with one of the DNA chains.
  • Magnesium ions, a catalyst required by DNA polymerase to work

Which unit of the brain is responsible for the sense of balance?
AveGali [126]
The ears are involved in balance, but it's more than just them. 
Your eyes are also important, as well as your body's sense of where it is in space.

If the extracellular fluid has an excess of sodium ions, a. sodium ions move into cells b. intracellular fluid moves to the outs
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

b. intracellular fluid moves to the outside of cells

Explanation:

The presence of an excess of sodium ions in the extracellular fluid would make it hypertonic with respect to the intracellular fluid. The concentration gradient would drive the intracellular fluid towards the outside of the cell to balance the concentration of the fluids on either side. The passive movement of fluids occurs across the cells and is driven by the concentration gradient only. The biological membranes are permeable for fluid movement such as the movement of water across it.
