Answer: The contaminants would move quickly to the groundwater in channels.

Karst aquifer are the source of ground water. These are based on special type of fractured rock (limestone, dolomite or magnesite) in which when water comes from any natural source like rain dissolves the soft rocks, thereby the size of the fractures increase which may act as a channel to deposit water in the under surface of rocks. The groundwater in the Karst aquifer is vulnerable to pollution because of the rocks gets solubilize by the affect of water from external source. The contaminant from these rocks can be quickly transferred to the groundwater.

iragen [17]
The answer is Na + is entering the cell and the K + is leaving, during the depolarization phase of the action potential open Na + channels allow Na + ions to diffuse into the cell. This inward movement of positive charge makes the membrane potential more positive. The depolarization phase is a positive response sequence where open Na + channels cause depolarization which in re-occurrence causes more voltage gated Na+ channels to open.

3.Why should a model of the carbon cycle include the burning of fossil fuels?(1 point)
user100 [1]

Answer:

Burning fossil fuels moves carbon from the geosphere to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

  • Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are produced and stored in the geosphere. i.e. the part of the Earth that includes the Earth's interior, landforms, rocks and minerals.
  • Fossil fuels, extracted from the geosphere are burned to generate energy.
  • Combustion of fossil fuels releases the stored carbon into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.

The carrying capacity for a species in an ecosystem is primarily determined by
coldgirl [10]

The carrying capacity for a species in an ecosystem is primarily determined by the resources in the ecosystem.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The availability of food, raw materials, water and other resources in that ecosystem are those factors that is used for the determination of the carrying capacity. The factors such as nature, the levels of wastage accumulation, removal of very important things from the system also determines the carrying capacity. a system's carrying capacity may involve matters such as available supplies of food, water, raw materials, and/or other similar resources.

The main components that determines the carrying capacity of an ecosystem are food and other resources, provided, the humans must not disturb the ecosystem for their self survival. The resources limitations and their availability determines this factor to a greater extent.

State two biological reasons why you consider that the loss of biodiversity matters.
Marat540 [252]
Loss of biodiversity matters because it affects the overall sustainability of organisms in an ecosystem. It also affects how badly an ecosystem will be affected after something, maybe a natural disaster, or maybe a disease, strikes the region. (For example, if a disease affects a certain species of organism, if there was a lot of biodiversity among individuals, some will have some kind of natural immunity to that disease and survive, passing on their favorable traits to the next generation. However, if everybody was the same and did not have the immunity to that disease, that entire population would eventually die out.) <- This is also the reason that lack of biodiversity will inhibit natural selection.
Hope that helped you.

A scientist investigates two types of cells located in different parts in a human body. Cell A contains many more mitochondria t
Ket [755]

Answer: Cell A does more work than cell B.

Mitochondria is the energy producer organelle of the cell. It produces energy in the form of ATP molecules. It is a membrane bound organelle which is only present in eukaryotic cells not found in prokaryotic cells. Presence of more number of mitochondria in the cell indicates that the energy requirement of the cell is more. This energy is required for cellular metabolism. Therefore, cell with more mitochondria works more than the one with less mitochondria.
