Because the earth's axis is tilted. ... It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis. Many people believe that the temperature changes because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther from the sun in winter. In fact, the Earth is farthest from the sun in July and is closest to the sun in January!

Answer:

It is not true because the Earth is not actually tilting it is the Earth’s axis that is tilting  towards the sun causing summer on one side of the world and on the other side, it causes winter.

A student reads in a science blog that viruses take over a host cell to grow and reproduce. Why do viruses depend on host cells
jekas [21]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Usually a virus is mainly made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside a capsid/envelope. It has no organelles like a ‘true’ cell. Because it cannot reproduce on its own, scientists struggle to categorize it as a living thing since  reproduction is a property of living things. The virus reproduces by hijacking the cellular mechanisms of the host cells to replicate itself. It does so by integrating itself in the genome of the host so that its DNA is also replicated, along with that of the host, by the host cell DNA polymerases and its proteins produced by the ribosomes of the host.

klio [65]

Answer:

1. Aqueous humor.

2. Ciliary muscles.

3. Cone.

4. Cornea.

5. Iris.

6. Optic nerve.

7. Photoreceptor.

8. Retina.

9. Rod.

10. Sclera.

11. Vitreous humor.

Explanation:

A sensory system can be defined as components of the central nervous system (CNS) which comprises of the brain, neural tissues or pathways and sensory neurons responsible for sensory functions, perception and processing sensory informations such as sound, light, heat, etc.

Basically, the central nervous system (CNS) interprete the neural signals that are generated from stimuli that are detected by the sensory system. The five (5) main sense organs in the sensory system are: skin, tongue, ears, nose and the eyes.

An eye can be defined as a specialized organ of sight with the capability to receive visual images that are subsequently transduced into neural signals and relayed to the brain for processing and interpretation. Some of the components of the human eye matched with their description are;

1. Aqueous humor: a transparent liquid which is located between the cornea and iris.

2. Ciliary muscles: muscles attached to the lens to change its shape.

3. Cone: a photoreceptor cell which functions best in bright light. It detects color.

4. Cornea: the transparent portion of the sclera at the front of the eye.

5. Iris: a special part of the choroid layer composed of colorful tissue.

6. Optic nerve: the nerve connecting the eye to the brain.

7. Photoreceptor: specialized cells located in the retina that receive light images.

8. Retina: a delicate light-sensitive membrane covering the inside of the eyeball.

9. Rod: a photoreceptor cell which is sensitive to dim light, but detects no color.

10. Sclera: a fibrous material surrounding the eye to give it shape.

11. Vitreous humor: a transparent jellylike substance filling the eyeball.

In an action potential, the current that flows down the axon of a neuron is generated by the movement of ______ across the membr
notsponge [240]
I think the correct answer is ions.
An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon, away from the cell body. A neuron that emits an action potential, or nerve impulse is said to fire. These action potentials are generated by special types of voltage hated ion channels that are embedded in the plasma membrane of the cell.

How do the main sequence stages of these two sizes of stars differ?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Stellar evolution is the process by which a star undergoes a sequence of radical changes during its lifetime. Depending on the mass of the star, this lifetime ranges from only a few million years (for the most massive) to trillions of years (for the less massive), considerably more than the age of the universe. ^ 

Small, relatively cold, low mass red dwarfs burn hydrogen slowly and will burn for hundreds of billions of years 

Massive hot supergiants will live for just a few million years. 

A mid-sized star like the Sun will remain on the main sequence for about 10 billion years. Hope tis helps!!

Please help me i don’t understand
Eddi Din [679]
1. Biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants, animals, and other forms of life. It is concerned not only with habitation patterns but also with the factors responsible for variations in distribution.

2. weathering and other natural forces break down the substrate, rock, enough for the establishment of certain hearty plants and lichens with few soil requirements, known as pioneer species. These species help to further break down the mineral-rich lava into soil where other, less hardy species can grow and eventually replace the pioneer species. In addition, as these early species grow and die, they add to an ever-growing layer of decomposing organic material and contribute to soil formation. This process repeats multiple times during succession. At each stage, new species move into an area, often due to changes to the environment made by the preceding species, and may replace their predecessors. At some point, the community may reach a relatively stable state and stop changing in composition. However, it's unclear if there is always—or even usually—a stable endpoint to succession.

3. I don’t have the video so I’m going to take. Wild guess. Just look up types of finches

4. Broadly speaking, different species are unable to interbreed and produce healthy, fertile offspring due to barriers called mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
These barriers can be split into two categories based on when they act: prezygotic and postzygotic.

I tried my best hope this helps :)
