Explain velocity and gradient

Biology
1 answer:
Tanya [424]2 years ago
4 0

Velocity is a measure of how fast something moves in a particular direction. In other words, a velocity is a speed with a direction. For instance, if an object moves east at 9 metres per second (9m/s), we would say that its velocity is 9 m/s to the east.

Gradient The formal definition of a concentration gradient is the process of particles, which are sometimes called solutes, moving through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with a lower number of particles. The areas are typically separated by a membrane.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

DNA replication is faster and microscopic in size, smaller than eukaryotic cell.

Explanation:

The three domains of life are archaea, bacteria and eukarya. The two main biological division are prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The organisms that lacks the complete nucleus are included in prokaryotes.

The DNA replication is quite fast in prokaryotes as compared to eukaryotes because of small genome size, transcription is coupled with the translation and no post transcription modification is present in prokaryotes. The size of prokaryotes is quite small as compared with eukaryotes and shows the fast rate of diffusion.

Thus, the answer is option (a) and (c).

Match each component of biodiversity to the example of how it contributes to ecosystem stability.
professor190 [17]

Answer:  

Genetic diversity: Some individuals in a population of wild rabbits are resistant to a new disease.

Ecosystem diversity: If the population of wild rabbits decreases, a bobcat can switch its diet to squirrels or woodchucks.  

Species diversity:  Populations of wild rabbits from a forest and from a neighboring meadow can interbreed, which increases variation.  

Biodiversity of an ecosystem is usually explored by three diversities which are responsible for ecosystem stability they are : genetic diversity, ecosystem diversity and species diversity.

Genetic diversity is the variety of genes within a population of species. Each species consists of individuals bearing different genetic composition. Some individuals in a population of wild rabbits are resistant to a new disease because they exhibit genetic diversity within the population as a consequence some individuals exhibit genes which protect them against new disease.

Species diversity is the variety of species within an ecosystem. Populations of wild rabbits from a forest and from a neighboring meadow can interbreed, which increases variation is an example of species diversity. The wild rabbits from a forest and a neighboring meadow are two species living in an ecosystem stating the diversity of species in an ecosystem.

Ecosystem diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a given region.If the population of wild rabbits decreases, a bobcat can switch its diet to squirrels or woodchucks is an example of ecosystem diversity because in an ecosystem there is interaction of organisms as predator prey relationship. This example is also relating with predator prey relationships in an ecosystem.

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, often new viruses are assembled and released when the host bacterial cell is lysed. If th
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

D) The virus has entered the genome of the bacterial cell and is in the lysogenic stage.

Explanation:

Virus have two reproductive cycle lytic and lysogenic cycles. In the lytic cycle, the viral genome is expressed using the host molecular machinery and make capsid proteins. These capsid proteins surround the viral genome and make new phages which lyse the host cell and gets released.

After the release, they enter their genome in other host and that genome first incorporates in the host genome and replicates with the host genome. This cycle is called the lysogenic cycle and in this cycle lysis of cell does take place because no new phages are produced in it.
