What is wave refraction

An example of refraction<span> is when </span>waves<span> approach a straight shoreline at an angle. The part of the </span>wave<span> crest closer to shore is in shallower water and moving slower than the part away from the shore in deeper water. The </span>wave<span> crest in deeper water catches up so that the </span>wave<span> crest tends to become parallel to the shore.</span>

Refraction is when a wave aproaches a straight shoreline at an angle. The more the wave travels, the more angle it gets. That wave refraction

What are 10 thing that classify as a Secondary succession?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The renewal of a forest after a fire: The fire itself destroys a majority of different types of trees and plant life. Because seeds and roots and other plant and tree parts remain in and on the soil, gradually the plants and trees begin to grow again and eventually returns to the state of the original ecosystem.

The renewal of a crop after harvesting: Without new seeds being planted, the crop can regenerate the following year due to the plants and seeds that remained after harvesting.

A forest renews after logging: Lots of trees were chopped down by loggers to create building materials. Over time, trees grow in and the area returns to its previous state.

A volcanic eruption: In an area where a volcano erupts, lava may cause some damage to the plant and tree life. Over a span of years, however, if there was land that had been affected by the eruption but not necessarily covered in new volcanic rock, the seeds and plant parts and roots in the soil could renew.

On the island of Lawahii, several centuries ago, a fire erupted that caused the destruction of all plants and vegetation. Many years later, the plants and vegetation had grown back in, as the nutrients, seeds and soil remained.

Renewal after disease: A plant population can be very negatively affected by a variety of infectious plant diseases. If the entire population dies, but the soil and roots remain, it is possible for secondary succession to occur and for the population of those plants to to return.

A flood can ruin farmlands. However, because the soil remains after the waters recede, over the course of many years a natural secondary succession can occur and the vegetation that had previously grown there can grow again.

Plants can be very susceptible to attack from pests, particularly if there is an overpopulation of those pests. When this occurs, the plant population in one area can be completely destroyed. However, when the pest overpopulation is resolved, the plants are able to live again and thrive in the soil in which they previously had lived.

Potato scab is a tuber disease that grows on potatoes. If this disease affects a large amount of potatoes, the potatoes may not grow or may be harvested and thrown away. Over time, once the disease has been eradicated, healthy potatoes can grow again.

And also human activities can harm the environment and cause secondary secession.

Please select the five major mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance?
skad [1K]

Answer: The five major mechanism of antimicrobial resistance include the following options except option b :

a) Enzymatic inactivation of the antibiotic.

c) Antibiotic efflux pumps the antibiotic out of the cell.

d) Altered target site, such that the antibiotic can no longer bind to the target.

e) Microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway.

f) Decreased permeability to the antibiotic.

Explanation:

ANTIBIOTICS are drugs which are drugs or medications which are administered to either kill or stop the growth of an invading pathogenic bacteria that is causing infection in the body. This can be taken orally, topically or administered by a trained health care provider through injections.

When these medications are taken for a long period of time it may lead to the developer of various level of resistance by the bacteria. ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE therefore occurs when there is overuse or abuse of antibiotics which gives bacteria the opportunity to develop resistance to the antibiotics and have better chances of survival.

The mechanism through which bacteria develop resistance includes:

--> Enzymatic inactivation of the antibiotic: There are enzymes on the surface of the bacteria that with time modifies to react with the antibiotic in such a way it won't affect the bacteria.

--> Antibiotic efflux pumps the antibiotic out of the cell: One of the types of efflux pumps include the RND (resistance - nodulation - division) which directly crosses the bacteria cell wall and allows direct pumping out of antibiotic drug.

--> Altered target site, such that the antibiotic can no longer bind to the target

--> Microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway.

--> Decreased permeability to the antibiotic: Bacteria are also capable of modifying their outer membrane to decrease permeability of antibiotic especially at low doses.

1 p 1. Any change in the sequence of DNA is... O transgenic shift O Single Genotype O Monohybrid Trait O Mutation bOther:​
agasfer [191]

Answer:

A gene is a stretch of DNA that helps to control the development and function of all organs and working systems in the body.

Genes are passed from parent to offspring; the combination of these genes affects all aspects of the human body, from eye and hair color to how well the liver can process toxins.
