Well it does increase soil erosion.

The correct answer is D. Increasing soil erosion

Explanation:

Mining refers to the process of extracting minerals such as coal, chalk, limestone, etc that are usually placed on underground deposits. Because of this, mining often involves excavation, although other methods use substances and chemicals to extract the mineral. In all of this cases, the natural properties of the soil are negatively affected as vegetation is often removed along with multiple soil layers, this leads to soil erosion due to the damage in the soil and the lack of vegetation that make the soi dry and in most case infertile. Therefore, one way mining for mineral resources damages land is by increasing soil erosion.

Pepsin, an enzyme that is found in the stomach of humans, functions in breaking down proteins. It is denatured as it travels to

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A. pH

Explanation:

Denaturation of proteins is a protein whereby the protein molecule loses its primary structure and ultimately its physical functioning as a result of factors including pH, temperature or concentration of chemicals. Based on this definition, it is visible that denaturation of proteins can be caused by these three factors: pH, chemical and temperature.

However, in this case of PEPSIN enzyme, which is a proteinous molecule produced in the stomach of humans and functions in breaking down proteins, its denaturation occurs as it moves along the digestive tract to the intestines. This is as a result of the changes in pH in the digestive tract.

The pH of the stomach where pepsin is produced is acidic i.e. <3.0. However, as one moves towards the intestine, the pH increases, which is unfavorable or considered harsh for the pepsin enzyme. Hence, it gets denatured.

Sublimation is the opposite of deposition just as evaporation is the opposite of fusion transpiration freezing condensation

Lena [83]

<span>A condensation is a process where liquid changes into a gaseous form also known as water vapour. It occurs in the atmosphere when the temperature rises.
Water is produce when glucose and fructose undergo a condensation process. The water is removed by the combination of hydrogen and a hydroxyl together. Glucose and Fructose forms a substance called glycosidic linkage. And hydrogen and hydroxyl is separated from glucose and fructose. When Hydrogen and hydroxyl is combined, they create H2o or water.</span><span>
