<span>The paralysis is from a chain reaction of cells not processing sodium properly. This leads to their residing in a resting potential instead of forming action potentials, as is required for them to fire during muscle movements. The electrical impulses are not moving down the cells, leading to their not being able to move and, therefore, paralysis of the affected or poisoned areas.</span>

Explain how moving water can cause erosion. PLEASE HELP!!
mart [117]
Rainfall can cause erosion both when the rain hits the surface of the Earth, called splash erosion, and when raindrops accumulate and flow like small streams. Rivers can create a significant amount of erosion over time. They break up particles along the river bottom and carry them downstream. One example of river erosion is the Grand Canyon which was formed by the Colorado River. Ocean waves can cause the coastline to erode. The shear energy and force of the waves causes pieces of rock and coastline to break off changing the coastline over time. Large floods can cause erosion to happen very quickly acting like powerful rivers.

Which are the most dominant chemolithotrophs in pelagic waters?
Tomtit [17]
<span>The most dominant chemolithotrophs in pelagic waters are ammonia-oxidizing archaea. The first step in nitrification is performed by ammonia oxidising microorganisms that convert ammonia into nitrite ions. Science has known about nitrifying bacteria for over a hundred years now thanks to the discovery of S. Winogradsky.</span>
