All 3 farming techniques are methods of soil conservation. 

Contour plowing is used to stop water from flowing directly down slope to prevent gullying. 

Terracing is used to slow the amount of runoff, and prevents rapid soil erosion. 

Strip Cropping is when farmers plant plants in alternating bands to stop soil erosion.

What was the benefit of crop rotation?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

<em>B. Different crops could be grown on the same land. </em>

Explanation:

Crop rotation is the process of growing different plants in the same land according to the season. Various kinds of plants require various sorts of supplements from the soil.

Changing crops on a regular basis enables the land to stay rich in nutrients, since not the majority of similar nutrients are being utilized each season. Crop rotation likewise fights against the powers of soil erosion. It also helps to improve the stability of the soil by shifting back and forth between harvests with profound roots and those with shallow roots.

Alyssa's additional observation would be cell Y having a larger vacuole than cell X. The third option is the correct one.

<h3>Plant cell vs animal cell</h3>

From the observations, both cells are eukaryotic. This is because:

  • cell X has lysosomes which are only found in eukaryotic cells
  • cell Y has a nucleus which also peculiar to eukaryotic cells only

Lysosome houses digestive enzymes and is found mostly in animal cells. Only a few plant cells have lysosomes.

Thus, the lack of a lysosome means that cell Y is a plant cell while the presence means that cell X is an animal cell.

Generally, plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells.

What advantage is there in having the special sensory organs confined to the head region?
Dmitriy789 [7]
The answer to this question would be: rapid impulse transmission. 

By having organ near the head, the brain can process the information faster because the length of the nerve that carries the impulse from organ would be much shorter. The nerve also at lower risk of damage since it was shorter.
But it makes the head very important and damage to the head can cause much more problem than any part of the body.
