How is the process of using fossil fuels to produce electricity similar to and different from using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure of the steam turns a generator, which produces electricity. The difference is in how the heat is created. Power plants that run on fossil fuels burn coal, oil or natural gas to generate heat. In a nuclear energy plant, heat is produced from splitting atoms – a process called nuclear fission.

What scientist used radioactive bacteriophages to prove DNA is the
hereditary material passed from one generation to the next?

Answers

Answer:

Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase

Explanation:

In 1952 Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase were working with bacteriophages or phages, which are viruses that infect bacteria. They knew that a phage had an outer shell of protein and an inner core of DNA. In addition, from the electron microscope observations, they also knew that during infection the virus attacks the bacterium by its tails and introduces its genetic material into the bacterium to multiply using its metabolic machinery. They radioactively labeled two sets of phages: one with 32P (which marks only DNA) and another with 35S (which marks only proteins). In two parallel experiments, they infected bacteria with viruses marked on their DNA and with viruses marked on their proteins. The cultures were shaken with a mixer to separate the virus particles from the bacterial coatings. They then performed a centrifugation to separate the phages from the bacteria, so that the larger and heavier bacteria remain in the pellet, while the phages remain in the supernatant. They found that the radioactivity of 35S appeared in the supernatant while that of 32P appeared in the sediment, from which new radioactively labeled virus particles appeared, demonstrating that DNA was the genetic material.

Every day the moon rises nearly an hour later than it did the previous day. What is the reason for this?

Answers

The reason is because the Moon is still moving around Earth as it rotates, it moves eastward about 13-15 degrees after it rises. The Earth will take around an hour to catch up to the Moon’s new location, and that is why it rises usually an hour after the previous day.

Explanation:

The following statements about niches are false: The crow is a quite adaptable organism and has a broad niche, which is option C, as the niche is not a broad place but a place where the individual spends most of the time living and reproducing.

What exactly are "niches"?

A niche is the place that an organism plays in its environment, including the physical space it occupies and the resources it uses, and it is the way that an organism interacts with its environment and with other organisms, whereas niches can be occupied by many different types of organisms, and in some cases, different organisms may even occupy the same niche at the same time, which is known as niche overlap.

Hence, the following statements about niches are false: Option C is the crow, which is a highly adaptable organism with a wide niche.

If 22% of a DNA sample is made up of cytosine, C, what percentage of the sample is made up of adenine,
A?

Answers

Answer:

28% of Adenine

Explanation:

Chargaff's Rule states that A = T and C = G

Because of that, the sample must have the equation:

A + C = T + G

G must have the same amount as C so,

A + .22 = T + .22

Both sides of the equation must equal each other by .50, so .50 - .22 = .28

.28 x 100 = 28%

If 22% of a DNA sample is made up of cytosine, C, the percentage of the sample is made up of adenine, A is 28%

What is DNA?

Chargaff's Rule states that A = T and C = G

Because of that, the sample must have the equation:

A + C = T + G

G must have the same amount as C so,

A + .22 = T + .22

Both sides of the equation must equal each other by .50, so .50 - .22 = .28

You will build a simulation of a population using the same elements as the simulation pictured here and show how
the traits in this population change in years 5 and 10.
- Trait A
- Trait B
- Trait
1 circle = 50 organisms
Start off with 2,500 plants of which 50% have medium-tip leaves, 25% have wide-tip leaves, and 25% have drip-tip
leaves. Each circle in your simulation will represent 125 organisms. Calculate how many circles you need for each
trait, and then create your simulation. Be sure to include a key that states the color coding for each trait.

Answers

According to the concepts of percentage and proportions, we can make the simulation with 20 circles, each of them representing 125 plants. Traits A = 10 circles. Trait B = 5 circles. Trait C = 5 circles.

To solve this problem, we need to know two concepts, percentage and proportion.

What is a percentage?

A percentage can be defined as a fraction or a part of 100. It is denominated as percent (symbol %).

100 refers to the number of parts into which the unit has been divided.

So, X% means that for every 100 parts, X parts are of our interest. Or, that  we are interested in X fraction from a total of 100 parts.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is the equal relationship between two determined ratios or quantities.

In the exposed example we need to represent this population of 2500 plants with circles.

We know that,

Each circle represents 125 plants50% of the population have medium-tip leaves, 25% have wide-tip leaves, and 25% have drip-tip leaves .

So here, our unit is the population. We can say that our population of 2500 plants is composed by 100 subunits or parts.

2500 plants ------------ 100 parts

So now we will calculate how many plants are represented by the 50% and 25% of the population.

If 100% of the population equals 2500 plants, how many plants are 50% of the population and 25% of the population.

100% -------------------- 2500 plants

50% -------------------- X = (50% x 2500 plants) / 100% = 1250 plants.

25% ---------------------X = (25% x 2500 plants) / 100% = 625 plants

Now we know that from the total of 2500 (100%) plants,

1250 (50%) have medium-tip leaves, 625 (25%) have wide-tip leaves, and 625 (25%) have drip-tip leaves.

Finally, we need to calculate how many circles represent these numbers. So, we know that 1 circle equals 125 plants. The question is, how many circles represent 2500, 1250 and 625 plants.

125 plants ----------------- 1 circle

2500 plants -------------X = (1 circle x 2500 plants) / 125 plants= 20 circles.

1250 plants --------------X = (1 circle x 1250 plants) / 125 plants = 10 circles.

625 plants ---------------X = (1 circle x 625 plants) / 125 plants = 5 circles.

So, our simulation must have 20 circles, from which

10 circles represent medium-tip leaved plants (Trait A), 5 circles represent  wide-tip leaved plants (Trait B), and the remaining 5 circles represent drip-tip leaved plants (Trait C).

The organisms known as prokaryotes lack a nucleus and other organelles in their cells. There are two distinct groups of prokaryotes: the archaea and bacteria, both of which are thought to have evolved along distinct evolutionary lines.

Prokaryotic organisms or prokaryotes are organisms that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound cell organelles. Mycoplasma, cyanobacteria, and bacteria are all examples of prokaryotes.

A prokaryotic cell carries out every one of the fundamental roles that an ordinary cell performs. Reproduction, respiration, digestion, and other biological processes are among their capabilities.

What is Five kingdom classification?

The system of biological kingdoms is the way in which science classifies living things according to their ancestry over the course of evolution.

This means that all the species that make up these five large groups - some recent theories split them further into six or even seven - have common ancestors and therefore share some of their genes and belong to the same family tree.

As well as the kingdoms of living things there are other taxonomic categories within the same classification system such as, for instance, domain, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.

Name two types of proteins that regulate the cell cycle. How do these proteins work?

Answers

Answer:

Internal and external regulators are two types of proteins that regulate the cell cycle. Internal regulators allow the cell cycle to proceed only after certain events occur. External regulators speed up or slow down the cell cycle.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)

The two types of proteins that regulate the cell cycle are Cyclins and Cyclin-dependent Kinases (CDKs). These two groups of proteins are responsible for the progress of the cell through various checkpoints.

What are Proteins?

Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called Amino acids. They are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs.

Cyclins regulate the cell cycle only when they are bound to Cdks and become fully active. The Cdk/cyclin complex must be phosphorylated, which further initiates other proteins to be phosphorylated that advances the cell cycle.

Retinoblastoma (Rb), is another group of tumor-suppressor proteins that regulates the cell cycle by monitoring the cell size.

Therefore, there are two types of proteins that regulate the process of the cell cycle are Cyclins and Cyclin-dependent Kinases (CDKs).

Just tell me those two questions plz help me I will give you my points I swear plz help me I beg you

Answers

Simple answer is that the plants are conducting more photosynthesis than all the organisms in the tank are carrying out cellular respiration. This would be why the carbon (CO2) levels are decreasing. They are being incorporated into the plant as sugars.

The amount of carbon is captured by plants to perform photosynthesis as a light for the tank has been on all day and prepare their own food. The product of photosynthesis is consumed by other organisms to perform cellular respiration.

What are the components of photosynthesis?

The components of photosynthesis may include carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight as raw materials to convert into glucose (a food molecule).

The amount of carbon will not remain the same for the entire time in the living organism. The cycling of carbon is processed synergistically during photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Living things in the tank respire out carbon, which is taken up by plants for photosynthesis, a product of photosynthesis are the reactants for cellular respiration. In this way, carbon delocalized among the living entities.
