What are the three main ways through which an mRNA strand is modified between transcription and translation?

The three main ways mRNA strand is modified are 5' capping, 3' polyadenylation, and RNA splicing. 5' capping involves adding a modified nucleotide at the 5' end to protect the mRNA from degradation. 3' polyadenylation involves adding a string of adenine nucleotides at the 3' end to stabilize the mRNA and regulate its translation. RNA splicing is the removal of non-coding regions (introns) and joining of coding regions (exons) to form a mature mRNA molecule.

During a strenuous workout an athlete generates 2000 kJ of heat energy What mass of water would have to evaporate from the athletes skin to dissipate this much heat?

To calculate the mass of water that would need to evaporate to dissipate 2000 kJ of heat, we need to use the heat of vaporization of water, which is 2260 J/g. By converting the energy to joules and dividing by the heat of vaporization, we find that approximately 884 grams (0.88 kg) of water would need to evaporate from the athlete's skin.

Do carnivores have both sharp teeth for tearing flesh and short teeth for grinding grain?

Carnivores typically have sharp teeth for tearing flesh and slicing meat, but they usually do not have short teeth for grinding grains. Their teeth are adapted for their specialized diet of meat and do not require grinding teeth like herbivores.

How is photosynthesis related to atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and climate change?

Photosynthesis is when trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The carbon is separated and becomes part of the tree, and the oxygen is released. So a growing tree will store carbon all the time it is growing. More than half the weight of a tree is carbon. So photosynthesis by trees plays an important part in the Earth's carbon cycle.

Deforestation, the removal of forests, has been happening all over the world. When trees rot, or are burnt, they release the carbon (as carbon dioxide), and, of course, are no longer able to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The carbon cycle is then disrupted, and more carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, builds up in the air. This (together with the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)) is causing global warming and climate change.

What law is described by the fact that the ratio of the mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide to the mass of oxygen in carbon monoxide is 2 to 1?

This statement illustrates the law of multiple proportions, which states that if two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.

You can also put it this way: When two elements (A and B) combine to form more than one compound, the different masses of B that combine with a fixed mass of A are in a simple ratio.

What is the name for element Uuq?

Uuq is the temporary IUPAC systematic placeholder symbol for Ununquadium. It will stay like this until the IUPAC decide on a name and symbol for it.

Is DNA polymerase is a molecule found in all cells?

No, DNA polymerase is not found in all cells. It is primarily found in cells that undergo DNA replication, such as bacterial cells and eukaryotic cells during cell division. DNA polymerase is essential for catalyzing the synthesis of new DNA strands.

How can carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere can become part of the carbon compounds found inside animals?

Carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere can be absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Animals then consume these plants, incorporating the carbon compounds into their own tissues through the food chain. Carbon dioxide that was initially in the atmosphere becomes part of the carbon compounds inside animals as they consume and metabolize these plants.

When pure carbon burns in air 10.0 kg of carbon react with the oxygen in the air to form 36.7 kg of carbon dioxide Calculate the percentage of oxygen contained in carbon dioxide?

To calculate the percentage of oxygen in carbon dioxide, you can use the molar masses of carbon and oxygen. The molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44 g/mol (with 32 g/mol from O2 and 12 g/mol from C), and the molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol. Therefore, the percentage of oxygen in carbon dioxide is (32 g/mol / 44 g/mol) * 100 = 72.7%.

Are Insectivorous birds omnivore?

No, insectivorous birds primarily eat insects as their main source of food. They are categorized as carnivores due to their diet being mainly composed of insects.

What is the coefficient of carbon dioxide after balancing the following equation khco3 s k2co3 s h2o g co2 g?

The balanced equation is 2KHCO3(s) → K2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g). The coefficient of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the balanced equation is 1.

What is the Balanced symbol equation for carbon plus oxygen equals carbon dioxide?

The balanced symbol equation for carbon plus oxygen yielding carbon dioxide is:

C + O2 -> CO2

Does carbon dioxide and oxygen have mass?

Yes. CO2 has a weight of 44g/mol and O2 has a weight of 32g/mol.

When methane cH4 gas is burned in the presence of oxygen the following chemical reaction occurs.cH4 plus 2O2 cO2 plus 2H2O if 1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen then?

1 mole of methane (CH4) reacts with 2 moles of oxygen (O2) to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 2 moles of water (H2O). The reaction is balanced with respect to the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation.

What contributes to atmospheric carbon dioxide?

In the absence of anthropogenic activities, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere would be fairly static. Animals exhale carbon dioxide, but vegetation converts this back into edible products that are then consumed by those animals. Similarly, rotting vegetation gives off carbon dioxide, but the vegetation is soon replaced by new vegetation that requires the same amount of carbon. The natural cycle contributes no net increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Even burning wood or paper has no net effect on atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, although cutting down trees for wood or paper could do so if new trees are not allowed to grown and absorb as much carbon as the trees cut down. So, CO2 concentrations had remained around 260-280 parts per million (ppm) until the time of the Industrial revolution, when the level of CO2 began to rise in line with increasing use of fossil fuels.

The increase from 260-280 ppm to the present 390 ppm of atmospheric carbon dioxide is almost entirely due to human activities. The main cause is by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. Another important cause is deforestation, mainly as land-clearing for farming.

_______________________________________________________________

There is absolutely zero scientific evidence to make the claim that carbon dioxide has ever been "fairly static". The science behind the levels of carbon dioxide differ vastly from the political viewpoint stated.

CO2 has varied by about 800 years behind temperature. This is a well known trend for the past 650K years according to all available data. The current upward trend started well over 10,000 years ago, shortly after the temperatures started to rise. Carbon dioxide has always followed temperature. With the current warming trend now at over 10 degrees C, it is a normal and expected occurrence that CO2 levels would eventually follow. Levels as low as 190 ppm have been observed in the past 10,000 years, as well as levels (reported by Noble winning science experts from the 1800's) of well over 400 ppm. (Beck 2008). The overall trend for CO2 has been upward almost non stop for the past 9,300 years. There have been fluctuations, but this is the undisputed trend.

Man's production of less than 6% of all CO2 is possibly a partial contributor to the current levels of CO2. That is a very possible scenario. Nature's production of 94% is a known cause of increase. To blame man as the sole reason for increase though is misleading and absolutely false. We know that the levels of CO2 rose over 100 ppm prior to man starting to use any coal.

The one undisputed fact of CO2 increase is the know relationship between temperature and the levels of CO2 in our atmosphere. Temperature causes CO2 to rise. This is a known event. Human additions are a speculative (albeit possible) issue.

Is limestone gives off carbon dioxide when heated physical or chemical?

When limestone is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction called thermal decomposition, where it breaks down into calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide gas. This is a chemical change because the chemical composition of the substance is altered during the process.

Which elements name comes from the greek for light bearing?

Helium is the element whose name comes from the Greek word for "light bearing." The name helium is derived from Helios, the Greek god of the sun.

WHY does calcium belong in group 2?

The periodic table is organized in order of increasing number of electrons. Column-wise, the elements are divided into groups. With the exception of the transition metals in the middle of the period table, all the other groups have the same number of valence electrons within each groups.

Calcium has 2 valence electrons, meaning that there are two electrons in its outermost shell of electrons. All group 2 elements have two valence electrons. So calcium belongs in group 2. It is also there because of how the table is arranged in the order of increasing atomic number

What is the chemical equation for carbon dioxide plus oxygen equals methane?

The chemical equation for the reaction between carbon dioxide and oxygen to form methane is not possible as it involves a reduction process, which is not spontaneous under normal conditions. Methane is usually produced through other processes, such as the reaction between hydrogen and carbon dioxide known as Sabatier reaction.

Does an oil burning furnace release carbon dioxide fumes?

Yes, oil burning furnaces release carbon dioxide as a byproduct of combustion. It is important to ensure proper ventilation to prevent build-up of carbon monoxide, a potentially harmful gas produced by incomplete combustion. Regular maintenance and proper installation of the furnace are crucial for safety.

What is it called when carbon dioxide is released?

The release of carbon dioxide is called carbon dioxide emissions. This occurs when carbon dioxide gas is released into the atmosphere from various sources such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.

Are chacma baboons omnivores?

Yes, chacma baboons are omnivores. Their diet consists of a variety of foods including fruits, seeds, insects, small mammals, and occasionally other animals like birds or reptiles. They are opportunistic feeders and adapt their diet based on what is available in their environment.

What organisms return nitrogen back into the air?

The organisms that are involved in the movement of nitrogen between the air and soil and back to the air are plants and bacteria. When plants decompose they release nitrogen and bacteria fixes nitrogen back into the air.

When animals eat plants they use Carbon Dioxide to?

In the process of photosynthesis,plants make starch and oxygen not carbon dioxide.

After eating plant they create carbon dioxide as waste product when releasing food energy into cellular energy.So they just excrete CO2 the waste product of respiration.
