Radiation can cause breaks in human chromosomes. However, insects can survive much higher lecels of exposure. Why?

Biology

galben [10]2 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The influence from radioactivity is inversely proportional to the number of chromosomes , since , humans have more DNA , chromosomes than the insects , and  therefore , due to less chromosomes in insects , they are more resistant towards radioactivity .

As the target of the radiation is the DNA .

Hence , It is clear that insect due to lesser DNA are less prone to Radiations .

A prokaryote is most likely to use which of the following modes of metabolism to release energy if it is in an environment witho
Anni [7]
It's letter A - Obligate anaerobe.

<em>Obligate anaerobes</em> are microorganisms killed by normal atmospheric concentrations of oxygen. A <em>facultative anaerobe</em> prefers to produce energy in the presence of oxygen but can survive without it. <span>A <em>photoautotroph </em>is an organism that converts light energy into chemical energy. </span><span>Prokaryotes may perform </span>aerobic<span> (oxygen-requiring) or </span>anaerobic<span> (non-oxygen-based) metabolism and some can switch between these modes. Since we're talking about an environment without oxygen and dies when exposed to oxygen, the preferable answer is A.</span>

When humans dig-up fossil fuels and burn them to power the modern world, carbon flows between which two reservoirs of the carbon
Luda [366]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

When humans dig-up fossil fuels and burn them to power the modern world, <u>carbon flows between the Geosphere/lithosphere and the atmosphere.</u>

Both the geosphere and the atmosphere represent important reservoirs of carbon. The digging-up of fossil fuels, otherwise known as exploration, is carried out in the geosphere or the lithosphere part of the earth. For example, crude oil is obtained deep from the ground. When the fuels are burned, they release carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

<em>Hence, it can be concluded that carbon flows from the geosphere/lithosphere part of the earth to the atmospheric portion of the earth when fossil fuels are burned.</em>

The correct option is B.

A complete circuit contains two parallel-connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance
mrs_skeptik [129]
Parallel circuits are circuits when placed in a parallel position. Meaning that for each device, they have their own branch. The voltage that is received in the circuit is equal to the individual devices. The total current is equal to the current of each device. The resistance is the reciprocal of the resistances of each device combined.  

Given:
Device 1 = 12 ohms
Device 2 = 4 ohms
Voltage total = 40V  

Required:
Current at 12 ohms  

Solution:
40V = V1 =V2  

Since V =IR
I1 = V1/R1
I1 = (40V)/(12 ohms)
<span><u>I1 = 3.334 A(Amperes)</u></span>
