Compaction. Is the answer to this
skelet666 [1.2K]4 years ago
6 0

The process is called as compaction.

Compaction is the process by which the sediment progressively losses its porosity due to the effect of loading. When the sediment is formed by its own it contains pores. The pore space is usually filled with water. As the sediment is deposited over time the upper layer of sediments pushes the lower layer and due to this reason the sediments deposits and stick together to form solid rock. The pore size of different sedimentary rock is different like mudstone has porosity of more than 60% and sandstone of porosity more than 40%. The porosity is reduced by compaction.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

from the intermembrane space to the matrix

Explanation:

In the electron transport chain (ETC), electrons flow from one protein complex to another. However, as this electrons are transfered, protons (H+) is built up from the intermembrane space of the mitochondria to the mitochondrial matrix.

Hence, according to this question, a proton gradient is formed when hydrogen ions (H+) are moving from the intermembrane space to the matrix of the mitochondrial.

I am stuck on this question. "Viruses are considered to be which of the following?" (This is multiple choice)
rusak2 [61]
Viruses are actually smaller than bacteria but they're not bacteria. So D is wrong.

Viruses don't grow and aren't made of cells, and despite being able to reproduce, they're not living. So C is correct.

As for the other two, I'm not entirely sure what they mean but C is the answer.

postnew [5]

Answer:

C4 plant are capable to deal with photorespiration

Explanation:

C4 are more efficient than the C3 plants because the C4 have a mechanism to deal with the photorespiration. C4 combat photorespiration by fixing the intial carbon dioxide between mesophyll and bundle-sheath cells (in space)and calcin cycle. The light dependent process and the calvin cycle are separate in C4 plants. Also C4 plants can adapt easily to even hot sunny environment
