A

Water in the soil is held tightly by adhesive forces between the water molecules and the mineral content in soil particles - in the microspores.

Explanation:

While water passes through the macrospores of soil by gravity, water passes through the microspores mainly by cohesion between the water molecules and adhesion between the water molecules and soil minerals. The more surface area for the minerals in the soil (due to finer particle sizes) the higher the water retention rate of the soil. This is why soil with more humus (like silt and clay) retains water more than soils like sand.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

The cell potential on mars E = + 100 mV

By using Goldman's equation:

E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF}In \Big (\dfrac{P_K[K^+]_{out}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{out}+P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{out} }{P_K[K^+]_{in}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{in}+ P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{in}}      \Big )

Let's take a look at the impermeable cell with respect to two species;

and the two species be Na⁺ and Cl⁻

E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF} In \dfrac{[K^+]_{out}}{[K^+]_{in}}

where;

z = ionic charge on the species = + 1

F = faraday constant

∴

100 \times 10^{-3} = \Big (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{1\times 96485} \Big) \mathtt{In}  \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

3.981= \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

exp ( 3.981) = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \\ \\  53.57 = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}

[K^+]_{in} = \dfrac{4}{53.57}

[K^+]_{in}  = 0.0476

For [Cl⁻]:

100 \times 10^{-3} = -0.0257 \  \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}   \Big)

-3.981 =  \  \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}   \Big)

0.01867 =  \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}

[Cl^-]_{in} = \dfrac{120}{0.01867}

[Cl^-]_{in} =6427.4

For [Na⁺]:

100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}}   \Big)

53.57= \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}}   \Big)

[Na^+]_{in}= 2.70

Which factor is most likely to cause the number of rabbits living in an area to increase?
oksian1 [2.3K]
I think some factors that influence rabbit reproduction is enough food, healthy rabbits, lots and lots of space for them to populate, and very little predators. This should help I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for though sorry. :^)
