Sand mounds in a desert: is called "sand dunes". A sand dune can be described as a "small mound or ridge" of hill formed out of sand.

Sedimentary dispositional environment : describes the combination of physical, chemical and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.

Shoreline deposit of sediments: The coastal environment consists of constantly changing conditions, caused by the forces of wind, waves, currents and tides.

Beach sand:Sand is a loose granular material blanketing the beaches, riverbeds and deserts of the world.

Calcareous skeletons from organisms build this wave-resistant structure: Modern coral reefs are principally made of calcium carbonate that has been derived from coral skeletons and cemented into a wave-resistant structure by coralline algae

If the na+ voltage-gated channels in a muscle cell open, what will be the result?
sammy [17]
If the Na+ voltage-gated channels in a muscle cell open, the Na (sodium) ions rush inside the muscle cell and makes the cell more positive as Na ions carry positive charge on it. Due to the entry of positively charged ions inside the cell, the cell becomes less negative and more positive. This is called depolarization of cell.

amid [387]

Solar power would, without doubt, be the most efficient type of power plant to build in this specific location. This is due to the fact that solar power produces no pollution in an environment. Also this type of alternative energy fits this communities resources due to the fact that the community receives primarily sun , a huge component in solar power, and little cloud coverage only increases the sun's power that much more. On the other hand, biomass needs things like wood, crops and alcohol fuels to burn in order to produce energy, some of which are not viable in this type of community because a place with little to no irrigation sources and an abundant amount of sunlight would be hard to produce any kind of natural aspect. Lastly, hydroelectric energy would not be a efficient of even viable choice because this community has no natural water available at hand to use for this alternative energy to function, and hydroelectric works primarily on a water storage.

How many phosphoester (phosphate ester) and phosphoanhydride bonds are in adenosine monophosphate (amp) and adenosine diphosphat
skad [1K]
The bond between CH2 and P of phosphate through O is called phosphoester bond. Only one such bond is present in both AMP and ADP.Link of phosphate groups through O by elimination of water molecule is called phosphoanhydride bond.In AMP, only single phosphate group present so no phosphoanhydride bond is present. But inADP, two phosphate groups are linked by one phospoanhydride bond.AMP  1  0ADP   1  1
