How do contractile vacuoles help maintain water balance?

Biology
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The contractile vacuole acts as part of a protective mechanism that prevents the cell from absorbing too much water and possibly lysing (rupturing) through excessive internal pressure. The contractile vacuole, as its name suggests, expels water out of the cell by contracting.

Explanation:

What force or forces constitute the fundamental source of energy that generates wind movement and circulation?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The movement of wind is the result of the action of one or more forces on a particle of air, fundamentally the forces of the solar radiation, pressure gradient, coriolis, friction and centrifugal are recognized.

Explanation:

Air movement is caused by differential heating of the earth's surface and the atmosphere, which presents significant variations in time and space. Wind specifically refers to the horizontal movement of air parcels (which reach great distances and can persist on different time scales)Solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth, and this process is uneven. This irregular heating is what generates the wind. Pressure Gradient Force is determined by the pressure differences between two points in the atmosphere and tends to move the parcels of air from high to low pressure centers, in order to achieve barometric equilibrium. This force is responsible for causing the initial movement of the air. The Coriolis Force is an apparent force that occurs perpendicular to the direction of movement, generating a deviation in the wind path due to the rotation of the Earth (around its axis with an angular velocity). Centrifugal Force manifests itself as a radial pushing action from the center of a circle. In the atmosphere, it occurs in high- and low-pressure systems, leading outward from high- or low-pressure centers. The Friction Force is caused by the friction of the air with the earth's surface, causing a delay in the flow of air masses and changes in the direction of movement.

Explain how human activities can intensify, or even cause a landslide
lara [203]

The human activities directly or indirectly affect the nature. The deforestation and the removal of the vegetation  for the purpose of development or timber, the land is exposed to the dangers of the landslide. The tress, plants and other vegetation keeps the soil in place with the help of their roots. The soil erosion is prevented by the trees, but the cutting down of them by the humans increases erosion and hence, the risk of landslide.
