which statement correctly describes greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Answer: It is a process by which greenhouse gases allow the sun’s light to penetrate the atmosphere but stop the heat from escaping.
Explanation:
Greenhouse effect is the natural heating of the Earth's surface due to the fact that the sunligth waves may penetrate the atmosphere and reach the solid surface, but when the sunlight waves return after reaching the solid surface, process that changes the wavelength of the sunlight, they cannot penetrate the greenhouse gases and so the heat is kept inside the atmosphere with the consequent increase of temperature.

Which goes where ? Mitosis Vs. Meiosis
Answer:
Mitosis, Meiosis, and both are written below
Explanation:
Mitosis: produces more somatic (body) cells, purpose is for healing and growing, the daughter cells are exact replicas
This is because mitosis occurs in body cells and is used for growth, so all the daughter cells are the same.Meiosis: results in sex cells (gametes), results in eggs and sperm, purpose is for creating new individuals (eventually), each daughter cell is different, has 2 separate division stages
This is because meiosis occurs in gametes and is used in reproduction.Both: Chromosomes need to replicate before the whole process begins, a form of reproduction
This is because both are reproducing (they are dividing) and DNA must be replicated so each daughter cell has it.What happens to the chromosomes when a cell divides to make a copy of itself?
Answer:
the cell copies or replicates its chromosomes and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure each daughter cell has a full set.
Answer:
Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies or "replicates" it's chromosomes and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each. daughter cell has a full set.

What type of consumers are secondary consumers?
Answer:Tertiary consumers eat the secondary consumers and are usually carnivores (meat eaters).Secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers for energy. Primary consumers are always herbivores, or organisms that only eat autotrophic plants. However, secondary consumers can either be carnivores or omnivores. Carnivores only eat other animals, and omnivores eat both plant and animal matter.

One result of climate change is that ocean temperatures are increasing. If the temperatures continue to rise, what effect will that have on the oceans’ ability to retain CO2? How might this change affect the atmosphere? THIS IS SCIENCE WOULDNT LET ME SELECT IT
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
There is an equilibrium that exists between the carbon dioxide in the air and the carbon dioxide in the oceans. The temperature of the water affects its ability to hold carbon dioxide.
Hence, as the global temperature continues to rise and the water becomes warmer, its ability to hold carbon dioxide decreases. When this happens, the gas exchange across the air-ocean boundary is affected. There is now too much CO2 in the atmosphere owing to the disturbance of its air- ocean exchange equilibrium leading to more rise in temperature due to global warming.
Altos niveles de ATP en la célula son necesarios para realizar ciertas funciones vitales tales como reproducirse.A qué piensas que se deba esto
Answer:
el ATP es la moneda energética que la célula utiliza para llevar a cabo diversas funciones metabólicas (incluida la reproducción)
Explanation:
La adenosín trifosfato (ATP) es la principal fuente de energía para la mayor parte de los procesos celulares. La hidrólisis del ATP libera energía química almacenada en los enlaces de fosfato de la molécula, la cual es utilizada por la célula para llevar a cabo diversas funciones, incluida la reproducción. La hidrólisis de ATP genera en primera instancia adenosín difosfato (ADP) y un grupo fosfato libre (ortofosfato), esta es una reacción exergónica que libera una enorme cantidad de energía la cual es utilizada por la célula para llevar a cabo diversas funciones metabólicas incluyendo la síntesis de macromoléculas tales como, por ejemplo, proteínas del huso mitótico requeridas durante el proceso de división celular. El ADP también puede hidrolizarse para liberar energía, con la consecuente producción de adenosín monofosfato (AMP) y un segundo fosfato libre.
17. At the end of their biology unit, 7th grade students were asked to make a glossary of biological terms. Which student did the best job of defining the word "heredity"?
Answer:
The question is incomplete, I found a matching question online:
At the end of their biology unit, 7th grade students were asked to make a glossary of biological terms. Which student did the best job of defining the word "heredity"?
A) Kendall- Heredity is the study of chromosomes and the genes that they contain.
B) Carla- Heredity is the passing of genetic information contained in chromosomes from one generation to the next.
C) Joseph- Heredity is the study of human characteristics passed down from parent to offspring.
D) Devon- Heredity is the reason that tall parents will usually have tall children.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Carla- Heredity is the passing of genetic information contained in chromosomes from one generation to the next. (B)
Explanation:
Heredity, also known as inheritance is the passing down of genetic traits and genetic information from parents to their offspring through reproduction (sexual or asexual), and this information is contained in DNA materials called chromosomes.
Carla's definition most appropriatly captures the context of genetics, while Kendall and Joseph rather defined "genetics", which is the study of heredity.
Devon did not give a definition, but rather an example.

How many reactions that occur in kreb cycle transfer electrons from substrate to an electron acccepting enzyme
Answer:
Four reactions that occur in kreb cycle transfer electrons from substrate to an electron accepting enzyme.
Explanation:
There is four such a response in which electron is transported from substrate to electron-allowing enzyme. In three of those, NAD+ is decreased to NADH and in one FAD decreases to FADH2. The TCA cycle is likewise recognized as the Krebs cycle after the signature of English biochemist Hans Kreb who illustrated the pathway in the 1930s.
Explain the process of how air flows through the Respiratory System? In three sentences.
Answer:
The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history. In land animals the respiratory surface is internalized as linings of the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs; in mammals and reptiles these are called alveoli, and in birds they are known as atria. These microscopic air sacs have a very rich blood supply, thus bringing the air into close contact with the blood. These air sacs communicate with the external environment via a system of airways, or hollow tubes, of which the largest is the trachea, which branches in the middle of the chest into the two main bronchi. These enter the lungs where they branch into progressively narrower secondary and tertiary bronchi that branch into numerous smaller tubes, the bronchioles. In birds the bronchioles are termed parabronchi. It is the bronchioles, or parabronchi that generally open into the microscopic alveoli in mammals and atria in birds. Air has to be pumped from the environment into the alveoli or atria by the process of breathing which involves the muscles of respiration.

plants experience _______ gravitropism when their stems move upward.
A. positive
B. negative
Answer:
Negative
Explanation:
Gravitropisms. Phototropism is a response to the stimulus of light, whereas gravitropism (also called geotropism) is a response to the stimulus of gravity . When the stem grows against the force of gravity (upwards), this is known as a negative gravitropism.
Answer:
negative
Explanation:
this is because negative gravitropism is when a plant grows away from gravity (like moving upwards). then, positive gravitropism is when the roots of a plant move grow downwards.
