Which one of the following statements concerning soil erosion is not true?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(a)-Rills, and arroyos or gullies develop mainly during prolonged droughts.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is the process of erosion, transport and sedimentation of soil, subsoils and rocks as an effect of the action of erosive agents such as water, winds and living things. The process of disintegration of rock particles (called sediments) is caused by the action of weathering (a set of chemical, physical and biological processes that cause soil and rock wear).

About soil erosion, we can confirm that the following information is true:

  • Grasses and other vegetation, windbreaks, and contour cropping will help reduce soil loss from cultivated lands.
  • Soils form naturally by weathering; if protected from erosion, sound management can maintain or enhance their nutrient levels and textural characteristics.

How does the structure of a brain cell related to its function?
lesya [120]

Solution:

Structure dictates function. Ribosomes provide another good example of structure determining function. These small cellular components are made of protein and ribosomal RNA (RNA).Their main function is to translate messenger RNA, or mRNA, into strings of amino acids called proteins.

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

Neurons carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, using electrical signals down their lengths and chemical signals between neurons. Since electrical signals travel much faster than chemical signals, neurons are long and thin to minimize the number of slower chemical signals that would be required between links in a chain of many shorter neurons.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization. They do this by using flagella, their long whip-like tails, and also by being very small, carrying little more than the DNA for a potential zygote.

This is the required answer.
