Answer:

Due to non availability of sunlight.

Explanation:

The region of ocean till 200 meter from the surface of ocean is known as the "sunlight zone". It is so because the sunlight can reach up to this extent only in an ocean. Therefore, this sunlight zone has the maximum number of marine plant and animal species.

Beyond 200 m , the sunlight cannot reach the ocean and hence there is a significant drop in the ocean community after the depth of 200 Meters.

Sunlight is the main change! sun light cannot penetrate into the deep layers of the ocean and availability of oxygen is also low there. this causes the considerable amount of organisms to live in the upper layers of the ocean and we can only observe decomposing organisms in the deeper layers!

In the Miller-Urey experiment, electrical sparks were passed through a mixture of gases, including hydrogen, water vapor, methan
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The answer is B. Some organic molecules, including amino acids, could have been produced from chemical reactions on early Earth.

Explanation:

Miller-Urey Experiment:

The Miller-Urey experiment was an attempt to explain the origin of life on Earth. Miller-Urey simulated the primordial soup i.e. the environment of primitive Earth to prove the spontaneous generation of organic molecules. The conditions they introduced included:

  1. A methane-ammonia-hydrogen and water mixture that exactly simulated the primordial soup.
  2. A spark of 70,000 volts that simulated lightening.
  3. A temperature of 800 degree Celsius.

Observations:

  • After running for 18 days, the final solution was examined for presence of organic molecules.
  • Miller-Urey observed that most of the methane and ammonia had been consumed and the mixture contained carbon monoxide and nitrogen.
  • The solution further contained 25 amino acids (mainly, glycine, alanine and aspartic acid) , several fatty acids , hydroxy acids  and amide products.

The experiment concluded that simple organic compounds such as amino acids could have been formed through spontaneous generation under the Earth's primitive environmental conditions.

Which chemical shown in figure 8-3 is an electron carrier molecule
Semmy [17]

Ans.

An electron carrier is defined as a molecule, which is capable of receiving one or more electrons from an electron donating molecule (electron donor). In given figure, molecule NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is acting as an electron carrier that accepts electrons form chlorophylls and form NADPH.  

Thus, the correct answer is 'option C). NADP.'

A detective finds a miniscule spot of blood on a murder suspect’s shirt. What method would the police lab be expected to use to
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method by which a target DNA fragment is amplified to produce millions of copies. In PCR, the Taq polymerase enzyme uses nucleotides and primers to replicate a small DNA segment <em>in vitro</em> and produces two DNA molecules. The newly formed DNA molecules are denatured by heating to facilitate their replication to produce four double-stranded DNA molecules. In this way, the number of DNA molecules is doubled in each cycle. Therefore, the small amount of DNA obtained from the minuscule spot of blood on a murder suspect’s shirt can be amplified using PCR.

Your bone structure, metabolism, and body fat distribution all contribute to your ____________.
yarga [219]
Your bone structure, metabolism, and body fat distribution all contribute to your body type. The difference in body types lies deeply on the genes each one has. As we grow, other factors would influence this like metabolism, fat distribution and the structure of our bones.
