The majority of the water is kept from evaporating into the atmosphere because of the activities. Pollutants from the activities seep into the water table through the soil.

By generating erosion, conveying fertilizers, pesticides, and heavy metals, as well as by reducing the amount of water that naturally flows in streams and rivers, excessive irrigation can have a negative impact on water quality. When applied to a landscape, fertilizers and pesticides don't stay put; instead, runoff and infiltration carry these toxins into nearby rivers, streams, and wells. From subterranean storage tanks, hazardous liquids such as gasoline escape into the groundwater supply. Pollutants from poorly built septic systems or landfills seep into the groundwater. Runoff from fertilized fields, livestock regions, abandoned mines, salted roadways, and industrial locations pollutes groundwater.

Thus, the activities can be said to be the main reason why the majority of the water is prevented from evaporating into the atmosphere. Pollutants from the activities permeate through the soil and into the water table.

Describe the difference in pressure against your cheeks when they are full of air versus When You released it

noname [10]

Answer: When they were full of air, then the Pressure was the Highest 'cause of the larger force under the specified area as compared to when we released it. We decreased the area of our cheek, so pressure increased and air flows from the cheek (area of high pressure) to the atmosphere

Suppose an assassin uses abrin, a translation inhibitor, to poison her victim. Place the events in chronological order, starting

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The events in chronological order are:

Abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells
Abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm
Abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome.
Ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides
Protein synthesis halts in many tissues
Multiple organ systems fail
Victim dies

Explanation:

Abrin is a toxic protein obtained from the seeds of Abrus precatorius, it is highly toxic, with an estimated human fatal dose of 0.1-1 microgram/kg, and causes death after accidental and intentional poisoning.

When ingested the abrin would enter the victim's body and travel through the blood and eventually enter a cell's cytoplasm (abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells). Once there it would interact with the ribosomes and reacts with them on a molecular level (peptide bond catalytic enzyme) (abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm), which results in the ribosome exhibiting its toxic response to abrin (abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome). As a result of the ribosome reacting to abrin (ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides), protein synthesis within that cell is affected (protein synthesis halts in many tissues). Once multiple cells are affected by abrin the organ will exhibit its toxic response (multiple organ systems fail), and the victim would die.
