This image shows how a lunar eclipse occurs. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind Earth into its umbra, or shadow. As shown in the image, the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, with Earth in the middle. Given this information, which statement elaborates on why there is not a solar eclipse every month, as the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth?

A)The Moon is not large enough to cast an umbra, or shadow, on a celestial body as large as Earth.

B)Phases of the Moon prevent monthly solar eclipses because they cause the Moon's shadows to change.

C)Craters on the surface of the Moon redirect the Sun's light toward Earth, decreasing the Moon's shadow.

D)Most of the shadows cast by the Earth and Moon do not align because the tilts of each orbit is different.

Thanks :)

The dna in a cell’s nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. for example, consider these two proteins: phosphofructokinase (pfk) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells. assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.for each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination. (note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)
