I believe the answer you're looking for is:

Condensation- If the air cools, then water vapor molecules slow down and some can not remain a vapor. They cluster in the air to form tiny liquid droplets. This is called condensation. In clouds, the liquid droplets formed by condensation are small and light enough that they stay in the air.

hope this helps! :)

Note: I have provided my own definition for the ninth term (firn) in the third image for which the definition was missing

Answer:

A. 1. The height of anything above a given planetary reference place, especially above sea level on Earth, the extend of distance upward - altitude

2. The movement of glacial ice and snow as a result of gravity - basal slip

3. When chunks of ice break off at the terminus, or end of a glacier - calving

4. An amphitheater like valley formed by glacial erosion - cirque

5. A long period of cold climate where glaciers cover large parts of the earth - ice age

6. Miniature ice sheet - ice cap

7. The angular distance of a place north or south of the Earth’s equator usually expressed in degrees and minutes - latitude

8. The study of the Earth’s atmosphere in prehistoric times - paleoclimatology

9. Below the surface in the region under enough pressure that the ice is no longer brittle the ice distorts and changes shape due to the pressure of the above layers - plastic flow

10. When a glacier loses more snow and ice due to melting and calving than it accumulates - glacial retreat

B. 1. A deep crack or area of cracks that result from the upper layer of the glacier ice breaking when the lower layer of ice flows - crevasses, aka zone of fracture

2. Snow accumulation converted into granular ice over time - zone of accumulation

3. A boulder left behind by a glacier - glacial erratic

4. Scratches or gouges cut into bedrock by glacial abrasion or rubbing - glacial grooves or striations

5. Unsorted sediment deposited directly when glacial ice melts - moraine

6. A pile of rocks left behind by a glacier - glacial till

7. The location on a mountain glacier when the rate of accumulation is equivalent to the rate of melting - snowline or equilibrium line

8. the terminus or down-slope end of the glacier where ice and snow are melting faster than accumulating - zone of ablation (or wastage)

9. Firn = crystalline or granular snow that has not yet been compressed into ice. If is found especially on the upper part of a glacier

Part a the presence of a mutant lac repressor that could not bind lactose would result in _______ transcription even when lactos

Kazeer [188]

The presence of a mutant lac repressor that could not bind lactose would result in no transcription even when lactose was present because the mutant repressor would remain bound to the lac operator

The transcription of lac operator is controlled by the lac repressor. When lactose is present, the lac repressor normally will bind to the lactose, removing itself from the lac operator so it could be transcripted.
In this case, the mutation makes the lac repressor keep binding to the lac operator so the result would be no transcription even when lactose present.

Which vessel delivers nutrient-rich blood to the liver from the digestive tract?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Hepatic portal vein

Explanation:

Hepatic portal vein is a blood vessel that transports blood from the gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract) and spleen to the liver. This blood vessel delivers deoxygenated blood to the liver from the small intestine. This blood transported from the digestive tract to the livers contains toxins and nutrients which have been extracted from food that have been digested.

The hepatic portal vein is about 8 cm in length in average adult and located close to the abdomen at the right upper quadrant.

What does the small vacuole do?

Marina86 [1]

Vacuoles are organelles present in plant cells, some animal, and some prokaryotic cells. There is a difference in size between plant and animal cells. Plant cells usually have one large vacuole while animal cells have a number of small vacuoles. If the term "small vacuoles" is used for vacuoles in animal cells, then they are involved in overcoming the foreign particles, storage of waste and during the exocytosis, and invagination of the cell membrane during engulfing the bacteria.
