Answer:

Urban Heat

Explanation:

Urban heat is defined as the heat or the increase in temperature that occurs in an urban area due to the anthropogenic activities. These anthropogenic activities include the release of harmful toxic gases from the vehicles, factories and industries, burning up of fossil fuels and from other sources. Deforestation also is another reason for this increasing temperature because the trees were cut down in order to construct houses and other commercial buildings, as a result of which the heat is absorbed by the land surface at a much higher rate. The temperature in this region is comparatively much higher than the surrounding rural areas.

Thus, urban heat is responsible for the change in temperature.

Answer:

Urban heat

Explanation:

Urban heat is a terminology generally used to describe the higher temperature with in the cities as compared to the surrounding woods.

Jessica moved to industrial area which has large industries that continuously release heat and pollution in the environment. Due to this the environment in and around the industrial area is much warmer as compared to the outskirts of the cities (with mountains).

Also the cities have offices & residential apartments, traffic and automobiles that continuously release heat and pollution thereby further enhancing the temperature of cities.

Which best exemplifies the concept of neuroplasticity?
KonstantinChe [14]
The correct answer is "the formation of new brain cell connections as the result of reading a book".

Usually, neuroplasticity is apparent in young children when the central nervous system has an abundance of neurons. This is always in the context of forming new brain cell connections or synapses that will lead the person to access the information quicker. This also exemplifies the principle of use and disuse when it comes to knowledge. 

The other choices concerns the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, and the endocrine/reproductive system; all of which do not have a relation with neuroplasticity.

You are choosing your favorite fresh vegetables at the grocery store when you are suddenly sprayed with a mist of water meant fo
loris [4]

Answer:

c) pure water on the produce would put it in a hypotonic environment and keep the produce firm.

Explanation:

Ideally, in a natural environment, plants leafs remain fresh and firm looking by absorbing water from their natural environment. However, in a case where these vegetables have been removed from their natural environment, they have lost the ability to absorb water under natural conditions.

In order to keep the leaf cells of the vegetables firm and rigid, so they can look fresh and appealing, they have to be placed in a hypotonic condition i.e. an external condition with high concentration of water. To do this, a grocer in a supermarket will occasionally spray the vegetables with pure water to keep the vegetables' cell from drying out and hence lead to wilting, which would make the vegetables less appealing to customers.
