The process that breaks down existing rocks to sediments is called lithification.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Early prophase: the DNA and centrioles duplicate and the centioles move and form the mitotic spindle. Middle prophase: microtubles from the spindle attach to the chromosomes. Late prophase: the chromosomes move to the equatorial plane.

Which pair of terms concerning the osmotic effect of a solution on red blood cells is mismatched?

QveST [7]

Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand.

When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of solutes in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

When an RBC is placed inside a hypertonic solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.

Inside an isotonic solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

Inside a hypotonic solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.

The sudden change in climate is as a result of the interaction of the atmosphere and the lithosphere. The heavy rains at high altitude are as a result of relief rainfall. The mountain acts as a barrier, causing the air to rise. Once air rises it cools and condenses. Cloud formation often leads to precipitation on the windward side of the mountain.

Brut [27]

Answer:

Q: Which skeletal system disorder might she be suffering from?

A: Osteoporosis

Q: What techniques could be used to diagnose her condition?

A: Bone mineral density (BMD) test or dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan

Q: What treatments are available?

A: Medication, healthy food.

Explanation:

The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to osteoporosis.

A bone mineral density test, also known as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses X-rays to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.

A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with medicine right away so that it stops further deterioration of the bones and avoid any future bone fractures. Further, it can be handled by eating a healthy diet and supplements such as vitamins D. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are already fractured, surgical approaches might be necessary.
