How does water's specific heat relate to its usefulness for life give examples?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Water covers around 70% of the Earth's surface and its high specific heat plays a very important role as it is able to absorb a lot of heat without a significant rise in the temperature. When temperatures decrease, the heat which is stored is released, restraining a rapid drop in temperature. The combined effect of these processes is a buffering of temperature on the Earth.</span>

Answer:

just learned about this in ap bio haha

Explanation:

Wow, that's such a cool prokaryotic cell. It looks so delicious, I wonder if I can eat it.

"Hey, cell, can I eat you?"

"No, you cannot."

"Please? I would love to have your energy-making properties!"

"How would I benefit from this? It seems like you're being parasitic."

"I would help you, by giving you protection and a safe home. You would give me energy. It seems more like an endosymbiotic relationship to me!"

"Fine, you can ingest me."

I'm so glad they let me eat them, they were so yummy. I can even create energy now, and I have a powerhouse inside me! This is so cool, maybe I should eat that other cell with photosynthetic properties.

SORRY IF THIS IS TERRIBLE I REALLY TRIED

In Kerr and Wright's experiment with 96 fruit-fly populations, only 4 males and 4 females bred in each generation. After 16 gene

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.

Answer:

c. shady forests.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. freshwater aquatic environments.

b. sunny, xeric habitats.

c. shady forests.

d. habitats with very cold winters.

e. oceans.

Angiosperms are plants that have stems, roots and leaves. Moreover, these plants have seeds in a flower. Usually, angiosperm eggs are fertilized through pollination in a flower. Flowers have both male and female reproductive organs. Based on the analysis of the nucleotide sequences of genes, it appears that the ancestors of angiosperms were adapted for survival in shady forests.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Following are the correctly rank steps:

1. The binding of glucose takes place with the transporter on one side of the membrane.

2. The binding of glucose leads to a conformational change, which opens the site of binding on the contrary side of the membrane.

3. The dissociation of glucose takes place.

4. The transporter moves back to the beginning conformation.
