A friend claims that the change of seasons arises completely from Earth’s distance from the Sun because Earth’s orbit is ellipti

cal. At its closest, Earth is about 147 million kilometers from the Sun. At its farthest, the distance is 152 million kilometers. Do you agree with the friend’s claim? Use your model to support or disprove this statement.

Earth does have an elliptical orbit, but the path is nearly circular based on the distances given. The model shows that Earth’s axis is tilted. During summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the hemisphere tilts toward the Sun. The Southern Hemisphere experiences winter at that time, because it points away from the Sun.

Assuming that you had an agonist and an antagonist for every autonomic transmitter receptor, how could you determine which recep
dsp73

The correct answer is by using the antagonist.

The antagonist is a molecule that blocks a biological response by binding to the receptor. So, you add antagonists to the receptors you want to determine and see which antagonist blocked the response. By blocking the specific response you can get the answer what receptor it was.

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene?a) a base substi
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Answer is C.

Explanation:

For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.

Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.

LekaFEV [45]

The independent variable of an experiment is the one that is intentionally changed or manipulated to see the results of changing said variable.

We are told that in each different group, the amount of caffeine that is given to the dogs changes - in the control group, they get no caffeine, in the 2nd group, they get 10 mg of caffeine each, and in the 3rd group, they get 50 mg of caffeine each.

Therefore, since the amount of caffeine that is given to the dogs is the only variable that is being manipulated, this is the independent variable.

Which of the following is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most ecosystems?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.

Explanation:

The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy   is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
