Activated charcoal adsorbs many noxious substances—medical drugs, phytotoxins and poisonous chemicals—onto its surface, preventing their absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

<h3>What is activated charcoal ?</h3>

Activated carbon, sometimes known as activated charcoal, is a type of carbon that is frequently used for a variety of purposes, including the filtration of impurities from water and air. It is treated to have tiny, low-volume holes, which expand the surface area open to chemical reactions or adsorption.

  • For some poisonings, activated charcoal is utilised as an emergency therapy. It aids in preventing the body from absorbing the toxin from the stomach. To treat severe poisoning, activated charcoal may occasionally be given in multiple doses.

Sound quality can be divided
iris [78.8K]
Sound quality can be divided into amplitude, timbre and pitch. If there’s an impedance mismatch between your two devices connected to the single output, you could have a large mismatch between the levels arriving at each device. If the difference is large enough, one device may have distorted or inaudible audio.

To avoid this, you should ensure that both devices connected to the split signal are similar - such as 2 pairs of headphones, 2 recorder inputs, and so on. When you place 2 devices with wildly differing load impedances on a splitter is when you’ll encounter problems - such as headphones on one split and a guitar amp input on the other.

To get around this, you can use either a distribution amplifier (D.A.) or a transformer balanced/isolated splitter - which will work over a larger range of load impedances, typically. Depends on the quality of the splitter and the exact signal path. If you’re using the splitter to hook two things into one input, and you’re using quality connectors, you probably won’t lose much quality. There can be an increase in impedance of the cable due to the imperfect continuity of the physical connection, however with unbalanced line-level signals, impedance at both ends of the chain tends to be orders of magnitude higher than the connection will create, so one split will be barely noticeable. So too, the noise increase from the additional length of cable.

Now, one source into two inputs, that will by basic math and physics result in a 3dB drop in signal strength, which will reduce SNR by about that much. By splitting the signal path between two inputs of equal impedance, half of the wattage is being consumed by one input and half by the other (the equation changes if the inputs have significantly different impedances). So each input gets half the wattage produced by the source to drive the signal on the input cable, and in decibel terms a halving of power is a 3dB reduction. Significant, until you just turn the gain back up. The “noise floor” will be raised by however much noise is inherent in the signal path between the split and the output of the gain stage; for pro audio this is usually infinitesimal, but consumer audio can have some really noisy electronics, both for lower cost and because you’re not expected to be “re-amping” signals several times between the source and output.

The map below shows the range of three types of grasslands in the United States. Some grasses of the tallgrass prairie grow to 6
muminat

More rainfall leads to the growth of the grass in a tallgrass prairie to grow so tall.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tallgrass prairie consists of big and little blue stem, switchgrass, and Indian grass. These were the species which thrive in the area which receive rainfall in large amount. The rainfall in these areas are in the amount of 30-40 inch annual precipitation.

Because these areas receive rainfall in such high amount, the grasses grow very tall. The height of these grasses reach to approximately 6-8 feet in height.
