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.

Setler [38]

Answer:

The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material found in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.

Cell cycle checkpoints are an important feature of a dividing cell to reduce errors that can occur in various stages of the cell
saveliy_v [14]

Loss of Rb, an important part of the G1-S transition checkpoint, can result in uncontrolled cell cycle progression and cancer. All of the following would mimic loss of Rb except constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein. Correct answer: letter E.

Constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein would not mimic loss of Rb, because it would not directly result in uncontrolled cell cycle progression.

<h3>What is Retinoblastoma (RB)?</h3>

Rb is an important tumor suppressor protein that works to inhibit cell cycle progression by preventing the activation of E2F transcription factors. Constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein would not directly interfere with the Rb-E2F pathway, which is necessary for uncontrolled cell cycle progression and cancer.

Apply Concepts:
Vlada [557]

Answer:

  the very long river

Explanation:

Larger rocks tend to settle out of the water flow sooner than smaller rocks do, so the rocks remaining at the end of a very long river would tend to be very small. A very short river may still be carrying somewhat larger rocks.

The very long river probably drops the smallest rock pieces near the ocean.

_____

Perhaps the implied assumption here is that a very short river will have a higher gradient than a very long river. Another assumption is that rocks are picked up nearer the headwaters, and the gradient decreases with distance.

If both rivers end at a waterfall into the ocean, they may very well carry the same sort of rock size distribution. If the short river traverses muddy terrain, and the longer river traverses rocky terrain, the answer may be reversed.
