Compaction. Is the answer to this
skelet666 [1.2K]3 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.

A salamander relies on hydrogen bonding to stick to various surfaces. therefore, a salamander would have the greatest difficulty
Talja [164]

The hydrocarbons' surface.

Because the covalent link that exists between hydrocarbon surfaces is different from the surfaces to which the salamander can cling, the salamander has difficulties adhering to these surfaces.

The hydrogen bond is the bond that exists between hydrogen and a bigger molecule like nitrogen or oxygen, whereas a covalent bond includes sharing electrons.

<h3>What Are Hydrocarbons and What Do They Do?</h3>

Crude oil, natural gas, and coal are all examples of hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds made of hydrogen and carbon. The world's primary energy source and a highly flammable substance, hydrocarbons. Petrol, jet fuel, propane, kerosene, and diesel are only a few of its uses.

The generation of _______ occurs by chemiosmosis. DNA RNA NADP ATP
zavuch27 [327]

Answer;

ATP.

The generation of ATP occurs by Chemiosmosis.


Explanation;

In the electron transport chain, hydrogen ions in the matrix space can only pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane through a membrane protein called ATP synthase.

As these protons move through ATP synthase, ADP is turned into ATP.

The production of ATP using the process of chemiosmosis in mitochondria is called oxidative phosphorylation.

Planarians lack dedicated respiratory and circulatory systems. This deficiency does not cause a problem because ________.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Most cells within planarians tend to be very close to their gastrovascular cavity, in addition to their external environments. Also, planarians have the ability for oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through the cells on their body walls: this makes it unnecessary for these varieties of flatworms to need a dedicated bodily system.

I think the deficiency of dedicated respiratory and circulatory systems in Planarians does not cause a problem because none of their cells are far removed from the gastrovascular cavity or from the external environment. Planarians are free-living flatworms and form the class Turbellarians in the Phylum Platyhelminthes. Flatworms have three tissue layers, that is the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.

klasskru [66]

Answer: c. proteasome

Explanation:

Proteasomes are extremely important multi-catalytic proteases and are involved in various cellular functions. The proteasome is an essential component of eukaryotic cells and is responsible for the ATP-dependent proteolytic degradation of most cellular proteins. They are present in the nucleus and cytosol and can represent up to 1% of total cell proteins. Proteasomes generally degrade proteins to small peptides, most of which are rapidly hydrolyzed by cytoplasmic exopeptidases. It catalyzes the rapid degradation of many enzymes, regulatory proteins, and eliminates abnormal proteins resulting from mutation or damaged proteins. The inability of this cellular organelle can lead to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson´s disease.

How are humans unique from other species of animals
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Humans come under mammal kingdom in vertebrates.

Humans may be called "naked apes," but most of us wear clothing, a fact that makes us unique in the animal kingdom, save for the clothing we make for other animals. The development of clothing has even influenced the evolution of other species — the body louse, unlike all other kinds, clings to clothing, not hair.2
