The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.

1. What is RNA's role in creating a protein?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

1. rRNA helps form ribosomes. mRNA provides the instructions for proteins to the ribosome. tRNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome, which are needed to create the protein.

2. The Central Dogma of Biology states that DNA holds the instructions for protein creation. These directions are copied by RNA, which the RNA then utilizes to create protein. (Also known as DNA to RNA to protein.)

3. Proteins are made in the ribosomes, which are small organelles inside a cell.

4. They are both nucleic acids. Both of them store genetic information. They also share the same basic components: sugar, phosphate backbones, and nitrogenous bases.

5.

a. RNA is single stranded; DNA is double stranded.

b. RNA contains uracil as a base instead of thymine.

c. RNA has ribose, while DNA has deoxyribose instead (hence the differences in their name: RNA means ribonucleic acid. DNA means deoxyribonucleic acid).

6. mRNA (messenger RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA)

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The presence of air in the pleural cavity

Explanation:

A pneumothorax occurs when air builds up between the lung and the chest wall. In consequence, pneumothorax occurs when air gets into the pleural cavity (i.e., the space between the lung and the chest wall) and causes a fully and/or partially collapsed lung. Some of the most common symptoms of pneumothorax include shortness of breath (respiratory distress), rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, fatigue, agitation, dry cough, etc. Pneumothorax can be caused by a chest injury, an accident during a medical procedure, damage from underlying lung diseases, etc.
