Answer:
If there were no radiogenic heat produced in the core, there would be no convection currents, and life on the Earth would not be possible.
Explanation:
The convection currents are the result of heating by temperature gradients. Differences in temperature and density produce these currents. Warm materials are lighter and can ascend, while cold materials are heavier and denser, so they tend to descend. These materials movements create a circular motion pattern known as convective currents. They occur in the atmosphere, in the water, and the Earth mantle. In the last case, while the hot material emerges from the bottom areas, the cold mantle sinks, creating a circular convection current. These play a significant role in fluids circulation and might be responsible for the movements of the lithospheric plates that are over the mantle. The temperature on the surface is much inferior that the mantle´s temperature, so the lithospheric pieces sink, creating a descendent current. Near the terrestrial core, the heat might reach up to 3,500ºC, and solid materials in these areas melt and fuse. When fusing, materials lose density, becoming lighter and ascending again to the surface, creating the ascending currents. The currents of ascending materials are known as thermal feathers or plumes.
Hot ascending material keeps the surface warm, making life possible. Also, radiogenic heat produced in the core is responsible for the electromagnetic field.
The electromagnetic field protects the Earth from many particles that come forward to the surface from space, specifically from the sun. The electromagnetic field also influences the atmosphere, keeping it in its place, necessary for life on Earth.
The plate´s movement produces earthquakes and volcanic activity. Both of them also necessary for many reasons, such as keeping fertile soils and producing necessary atmospheric gasses.
Through the years, the core losses heat, and eventually, it will become solid. When this happens, convective currents will stop because there will be no heat from the bottom to make them move. The electromagnetic field will disappear, and the atmosphere will be affected as well. The Earth surface will become cold. Mantle movement will stop, and there will be no earthquakes nor volcanic activities. Every living being on Earth will be affected by this fact. Life on Earth will not be possible.

How and why does a DNA molecule replicate itself?
Answer:
DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division. The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a 'Y' shape called a replication 'fork'. The two separated strands act as templates for making the new strands of DNA.
Explanation:
what were the early plants called?
Explanation:
The oldest fossil evidence of seed plants is of Late Devonian age, and they appear to have evolved out of an earlier group known as the progymnosperms. These early seed plants ranged from trees to small, rambling shrubs; like most early progymnosperms, they were woody plants with fern-like foliage.

The fertilization of ovules from Plant Q by pollen from Plant R results in the production of seeds. What percent of the genes in each offspring's chloroplasts will have been inherited from plant R?
A: 0%
B: 25%
C: 50%
D: 100%
Answer:
The correct answer is - option A. 0%
Explanation:
The zygote formation or fertilization in flowering plants occurs by the fusion of pollen of one plant with the ovum of another plant of the same species normally. This process includes the exchange of an equal amount of the genetic contribution from both plants.
The egg cell of the mother is responsible for the mitochondria and chloroplast of the progeny so the percentage of chloroplast genes provided via Plant R is 0% as ovum and egg cell comes from only plant Q.
percentage of chloroplast gene inherited from R plant is a)0%
using what have you learnt about the effect of concentration gradient and surface area to volume ratio, explain the adaptations of a leaf for photosynthesis
Answer:
Leaves have an increased surface area in order to increase light-harvesting and they are thin in order to increase the diffusion rate
Explanation:
Leaves have several adaptations to increase the photosynthesis rate. In the first place, leaves have a large surface area to increase light-harvesting and thus also increase photosynthetic energy conversion. Moreover, leaves are sufficiently thin to increase the gas exchange surface area, i.e., the entry of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the exit of oxygen from photosynthesis, which move by diffusion through stomata.

During which of the following processes would carbon most likely be required?
A. Breaking of rocks
B. Generation of electricity
C. Making of glucose
D. Running of cars
I think its C but when I looked the question up to check my answer, someone said they put C and got it wrong. I know we take fossil fuels out of the ground and burn them to create electricity or to make our cars run. and that burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide back into the air. And I know that carbon dioxide, water, and light make glucose.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Answers D
Answer:
Glucose
Explanation:
During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon from the atmosphere so that they can create glucose. During cellular respiration, living things give off carbon as a waste product. This gives the carbon back into the air.
Which of the following describes the mRNA molecule produced from transcription?
The mRNA molecule is made using the coding strand of DNA, which depends on the gene being
transcribed.
O The mRNA molecule is made using the coding strand of DNA and is transcribed in the parallel
direction
The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being
transcribed.
O The mRNA molecule is identical to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed.
Answer:
The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed.
Explanation:
The process of the formation of RNA from DNA is called transcription.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to its DNA template as the enzyme, RNA polymerase matches the complementary bases to the original DNA strand and then initiates the process of RNA synthesis. Once the strand gets completed, the process got terminated.
Hence, the correct answer is "The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed."

Explain how the discoveries by Rosalind Franklin
helped Watson and Crick build an accurate
model of DNA.
Answer:
In 1951 Franklin joined the Biophysical Laboratory at King’s College, London, as a research fellow. There she applied X-ray diffraction methods to the study of DNA. When she began her research at King’s College, very little was known about the chemical makeup or structure of DNA. However, she soon discovered the density of DNA and, more importantly, established that the molecule existed in a helical conformation. Her work to make clearer X-ray patterns of DNA molecules laid the foundation for James Watson and Francis Crick to suggest in 1953 that the structure of DNA is a double-helix polymer, a spiral consisting of two DNA strands wound around each other.
