1. How would you describe the biosphere?
2. What are some ways we, as humans, affect the biosphere?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The Biosphere is a life-supporting stratum of Earth's surface, extending from a few Km into the atmosphere all the way to the deep-sea vents of the ocean. The biosphere is a global ecosystem composed of living organisms (biota) and the abiotic (nonliving) factors from which they derive energy and nutrients

2. Humans burning fossil fuels and growing animal agriculture has led to large amounts of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and methane) in the atmosphere. Higher concentrations of greenhouse gases trap more heat in the biosphere and result in global warming. Humans have caused threats to non-renewable resources, CO2 production& global warming, as well as over-competition for food between native and introduced species.

A specific type of cell is being studied by a scientist. She notices the cell contains a nucleus, lysosomes, a cell membrane and cell wall. What is the correct classification of this cell?

A prokaryotic animal cell

B. A prokaryotic plant cell

C. A eukaryotic animal cell

D. A eukaryotic plant cell

Answers

Answer:

it would be answer c

Explanation:

A eukaryotic plant cell is the correct classification of this cell. So, the correct option is D.

What is a Eukaryotic cell?

A eukaryotic cell is defined as the type of cell that has a true nucleus, and other organelles are well defined and enclosed in a membrane that has a large and complex cell that distinguishes them from prokaryotes.

This is the cell with a true and well-defined nucleus, lysosomes, cell membrane, and a cell wall is a characteristic of a plant cell because they are enclosed in a cell wall, unlike animal cells. Eukaryotic cells are found in animals and plants, while bacteria and archaea have prokaryotic cells.  

Therefore, a eukaryotic plant cell is the correct classification of this cell. So, the correct option is D.

Photosynthesis products serve as a chemical energy suppliers for reactants and cellular respiration.

Since photosynthesis creates oxygen and oxygen needed for cellular respiration in the production of carbon dioxide and energy, carbon dioxide is used to generate plant energy and oxygen.

A normal cell has a high concentration of potassium on the inside and a low concentration of potassium on the outside. Also, a normal cell has a low concentration of sodium on the inside and a high concentration on the outside. Yet, the net movement of potassium is into the cell and the net movement of sodium is out of the cell. What type of transport is involved?

Osmosis

Facilitated diffusion

Active transport

Diffusion

Answers

Answer:

Is there a higher concentration of potassium inside or outside the cell?

The sodium and chloride ion concentrations are lower inside the cell than outside, and the potassium concentration is greater inside the cell. These concentration differences for sodium and potassium are due to the action of a membrane active transport system which pumps sodium out of the cell and potassium into it.

Among the newly-discovered small noncoding RNAs, one type reestablishes methylation patterns during gamete formation and blocks expression of some transposons. What are these types of RNA called

Answers

Answer:

piwi-interacting RNAs (piwi-RNAs)

Explanation:

The piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (from 21 to 31 nucleotides) that are abundantly expressed in the animal germline in order to control the expression of target sequences. The piRNAs associate with PIWI proteins from the Argonaute family (AGO) to form an effector complex that binds to complementary target DNA/RNA sequences. These small ncRNAs target Transposable Element (TE) transcripts to suppress TE expression and thus maintain genome integrity. The piRNAs can also guide epigenetic remodeling complexes that suppress gene expression by methylation of target DNA sequences in the nucleus.
