Explanation:

Mechanical weathering is the physical disintegration of rock into bits and masses.

In this process, agents of weathering combines to fracture rocks into bits. There are different type of mechanical weathering. It is also known as physical weathering.

Frost wedging occurs in temperate and polar regions where temperature is very low. Cracks in rocks are filled water and when the freezes it expands. As the water melts during summer and freezes in the winter, frost wedge forms.
Salt crystal growth on rocks can cause mechanical weathering.
Pressure release from the surface of rock leads to exfoliation domes.
Wetting and drying of a rock leads to mechanical weathering
Expansion and contraction of rock

Pot A that contained no fertilizer or compost will serve as a control in this experiment.

<h3>What is Fertilizer?</h3>

Fertilizer may be defined as any chemical or natural substance which is added to the soil with the intention to enhance the soil productivity.

Pot B contained fertilizer, while pot C contained compost, they will definitely grow more than pot A, but pot A serve as a control for this experiment because it does not contain any added resources into it. Hence, it grows naturally.

Thus, it is well described above.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Advanced,

Decomposers, producers, consumers

Skin

Explanation:

Decomposers are primary energy source by decomposing matter, this energy is released to the soil for plants absorb it to manufacture their food through photosynthesis and these food are consumed by man who gains energy in the process.

Higher layers should have more complex features than lower layers.

How do you think that wearing personal protective equipment helps to protect us from contracting airborne diseases?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Airborne transmission may occur if patient respiratory activity or medical procedures generate respiratory aerosols. These aerosols contain particles that may travel much longer distances and remain airborne longer, but their infective potential is uncertain. Contact, droplet and airborne transmission are each relevant during airway manoeuvres in infected patients, particularly during tracheal intubation.

Match each function with the correct enzyme class.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

The correct matching pairs are:

1) - B)

2)- E)

3) - A)

4) - F)

Explanation:

Transferases (B): Transeferases is the class of enzyme that catalyzes reactions involving the transfer of certain functional groups. (1)

Example: Transaminase transfers nitrogenous groups

Isomerases (E): Isomerases is the class of enzyme that catalyzes isomerization reactions and intramolecular rearrangements. (2)

Example: Triosephosphate isomerase interconverts aldoses and ketoses

Oxidoreductases (A): Oxidoreductases is a class of enzyme that catalyzes redox reactions (3) which involves the simultaneous transfer of electron.

Example: Alcohol oxidoreductases acts on the alcohol functional group

Ligases (F): Ligases is a class of enzyme that catalyzes reactions involving chemical bond formation between two molecules. (4)

Example: DNA ligase joins DNA fragments
