Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
If there is ATP and ADP in the Cell Cycle
Answer:
b. Theories unify a broad range of observations and hypotheses.
Explanation:
In broad terms, theories are the set of principles that can or must be used to explain certain phenomena. It involves the involvement or inclusion of any set of principles to get to a conclusion.
Hypothesis, on the other hand, is just a term used for an assumption made. And this assumption may be made even before any observation has been done, a mere suggestion for how to proceed with things or an assumption about things.
Thus, scientific theories unify a broader range of observations that had been done, including any hypothesis. So, the <u>correct answer is option b</u>.
Answer:
weathering
Explanation:
roof could leak and the weather will get in
Answer:
Option (D).
Explanation:
Processivity of DNA polymerase may be defined as the number of nucleotides added in the single binding event. The synthesis phase of cell cycle is fully dependent on the processivity of DNA polymerase.
The processivity of DNA polymerase depends on the sliding clamp, domains of the DNA and the interaction of DNA with enzyme. Loss of hydrogen ion at 3'OH primer does not affect processivity but important for the nucleophile attack and also effect the catalytic property of enzyme.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
