The right option is; d. Runoff describes water movement and infiltration describes water storage.

Runoff is the portion of precipitation, irrigation or snow melt that flows over land as surface water instead of infiltrating or evaporating. Factors that influence runoff are permeability, amount of rainfall, slope and vegetation.  

Infiltration is the process by which water or precipitation on the ground surface moves into the soil. Factors that determine the rate of infiltration include; soil type, topography of the land, amount of precipitation, vegetation, and pre-saturation levels.

Answer: b. Runoff occurs over land and infiltration occurs underground.

Explanation:

Runoff and infilteration both are the phenomena which effect the fertility of the soil. A runoff can be defined as the flow of water on the surface of the earth. The water of runoff may come from rainwater, melting of the glacier ice, and irrigation. It removes the topsoil and subsoil layers. This phenomena effects the fertility of the soil because of the loss of surface minerals.The infilteration can be defined as the process of downward flow of water inside the soil. This leads to the leaching or removal of the inorganic and organic minerals from subsurface and deep layer of the soil.  

On the basis of the above explanation, b. Runoff occurs over land and infiltration occurs underground. is the correct option.

The correct answer is Alcoholic dementia.

Alcohol-related dementia (ARD) is a type of dementia brought on by prolonged, excessive alcohol use, which damages the brain and impairs cognitive function.

Wet brain, sometimes referred to as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, is another type of ARD that is characterized by short-term memory loss and thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency.

Patients with ARD frequently exhibit both type's symptoms, such as memory loss, apathy, and impaired planning. ARD may coexist with different types of dementia (mixed dementia). Despite being widely accepted, the diagnosis of ARD is only occasionally used because there aren't any clear diagnostic criteria.

Hence, the patients with generalized loss of brain tissue due to direct consumption of alcohol suffers from alcoholic dementia which causes memory loss and many other problems.

Which examples describe how a plant might meet the challenge of getting and using energy? Choose all answers that are correct. A
SpyIntel [72]
<span>Assume: Energy = Sunlight.

grow lamps, etc.

A is definitely correct: Plants and trees that need maximum light MUST be able to grow as tall or taller than the other plants/trees around them. Plants that are more efficient at producing food (through photosynthesis) can live in the shadows of other plants. B doesnt involve getting or using energy. C is the function of food storage. The Energy was used to make the carbohydrates up in the leaves. D This should read New Leaves on the tree... If the tree was not deciduous, the leaves would stay on the tree and continue to perform photosynthesis throughout the year - as long as there was ample light. A is definitely correct and D is probably a correct answer also. FYI - Photosynthesis takes water from the plant, CO2 from the air and Energy from the Sunlight. Chloroplasts (the Green in the green leaves and stems) combine the molecules and light energy to produce 3 byproducts: O2, H2O, and Carbohydrates (mainly sugar or C12H22O11). The carbohydrates are then transported by the plants capillary system (by means of the Phloem which flows down to the roots) to the roots where it is converted as needed to be stored as some form of sugar or starch for use later in plant growth (leaves, stems and roots).</span>
