Which way does the coriolis effect deflect wind in the northern hemisphere

Biology
1 answer:
NikAS [45]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Towards the right

Explanation:

The Coriolis force is usually defined as the force that acts on the global wind and ocean currents and allows them to move in a clockwise and anticlockwise manner, in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. This force occurs due to the rotation of the earth.

The strength of this Coriolis force gradually increases with the increasing latitudes and also increases with the gradually decreasing speed of the earth's rotation. So, the value of this force is observed to be highest at the poles and is absent at the equator.  

Thus, in the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects the wind to the right side.

Roots derive nutrition from?
DENIUS [597]
Roots derive nutrition from the soil. When living things die and decay, minerals and nutrients are added to the soil from decomposition. These nutrients are absorbed from the soil through the root hairs. Hope that helps. Have a nice day.

If you were to add one of the eight citric acid cycle intermediates to the culture medium of yeast growing in the laboratory, wh
raketka [301]

Answer:

B) The rates of ATP production and carbon dioxide production would both increase.

Explanation:

The citric acid cycle is the second stage of aerobic cellular respiration. It includes complete oxidation of acetyl CoA into CO2 and H2O. During the citric acid cycle, NAD and FAD serve as electron acceptors. Reduction of these reducing powers forms NADH and FADH2 which in turn enter the electron transport chain for their oxidation and drive the process of as many as 32 ATP molecules by oxidative phosphorylation. On the other hand, fermentation forms of 2 ATP molecules and a few or no CO2 molecules.

Therefore, if one of the eight intermediates of the citric acid cycle is added to the medium, the yeast cells would perform aerobic cellular respiration and would form more CO2 and ATP molecules than the ones formed during the process of fermentation.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - nitrficiation, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

Explanation:

Thiobacillus denitrification is a facultative, obligate chemolithoautotrophic anaerobic bacterium that is well known for its ability to couple the oxidation of inorganic sulfur-based compounds to denitrification.

The name of the bacterium is derived from its function or the metabolic ability as it performs denitrification on thio (sulfur) based inorganic compounds by the process of oxidation. This process helps in bioremediate groundwater by these processes of nitrogen fixation by oxidation of inorganic compounds of sulfur.

Thus, the correct answer is - nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.
