Well the soil classification is usually done on the basis of particle sizes and composition of soil.

<span>Clay </span>usually consists of particles less than 0.075 mm in size. It is a sticky soil and shows great changes in volume with variation in its water contact. It also shows considerable strength when air dried.

<span>Silt </span>has larger particles than clay and are mainly inorganic in nature. The particle size is less than 0.075mm and exhibits slightly plastic or non plastic behaviour.

Humus is soil consisting of dead and decaying organic matter. It is mainly organic in content but some inorganic particles may be mixed in it. The top soil in a tropical forest may be considered as humus.

<h2>Answer: <u><em>How does the Ebola virus infect people?</em></u></h2>

<em><u>Ebola virus contains a type of genetic material called RNA, which is similar to DNA and contains the blueprint for assembling new virus particles.  Unlike animals and plants, which also use DNA as a repository of information, viruses are not technically alive because they are incapable of replicating without help.  In order to create new viruses, the virus must infiltrate a living cell, where it hijacks the host cell’s machinery to fulfill its own goals.  In order to get into the cell, Ebola must travel through the cell membrane, which is a barrier that protects the cell from its environment.  However, all cells need nutrients, which must have ways of entering the cell; the viruses hitch a ride into the cell via one of these established nutrient-uptake entryways.  Ebola virus takes advantage of a non-specific engulfing process called macropinocytosis, which allows the virus to be “eaten” by a wave-like motion of the cell membrane (Figure 1) [2].</u></em>

Which pair of terms most accurately describes life history traits for a stable population of wolves? A. semelparous; r -selected
Lera25 [3.4K]

The correct option is (D) iteroparous; K -selected

Iteroparous organisms are the organisms that reproduce multiple times.

<h3>What is Semelparity and Iteroparity?</h3>
  • Semelparity and iteroparity are the two different reproductive strategies available to living beings.
  • Iteroparous species have multiple reproductive cycles throughout their lifetimes, while semelparous species have just one reproductive cycle before they die.
  • Death that occurs after reproduction is part of a bigger strategy in really semelparous animals that also entails maximizing reproduction at the expense of future survival.
  • There will always be some iteroparous individuals who die between their first and second reproductive episodes, but unless they exhibit symptoms of a state of programmed death after reproduction, they are not termed semelparous.

Which of these is a result of ocean acidification
luda_lava [24]
<span>The Chemistry. When carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by seawater, chemical reactions occur that reduce seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and saturation states of biologically important calcium carbonate minerals. These chemical reactions are termed "ocean acidification" or "OA" for short.</span>
