Why are nutrients and gases most evenly distributed in a lake in the winter?
kvv77 [185]

When the temperature reaches 0˚C (32˚F), the top layer of the lake freezes and turns into ice. In solid form, water molecules are less dense and thus ice floats on the top of the lake.

This solid barrier prevents any wind-induced mixing as well as protects the relatively warm water underneath. Furthermore, light is also blocked so that photosynthesis is inhibited during this period. As the lake water is separated from the atmosphere, no direct oxygen diffusion occurs.

All these factors together causes a more even distribution of nutrients and gases in a lake in winter.

How many different arrangement of four bases into triplets can be made
dsp73
4^3 = 64

There are 64 ways to arrange the four bases (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine) into triplets (include repeats of bases as well, for e.g. AAT).

Just in case you are confused by my use of Thymine above, one thing to note is that Thymine will be replaced with Uracil in RNA.

Hope this helps! :)

When we look at a leaf, we see the colors of light that are reflected off its surface. How does this explain the relatively low
anastassius [24]
Oxygen is produced in the light stage of photosynthesis at Photosystem 2 and results from the splitting of water. Chlorophyll does not absorb green light so in green light there will be less water split and so less oxygen is produced.so thats how we know the reason why a leaf is the color that it is. basically it is because of chlorophyll.

Hope this helps.
