A sharp pyramid-shaped mountain peak, formed when several cirques surround a single high mountain, is called a pyramidal peak.

A pyramidal peak, (also called glacial horn) is a sharply, pointed, pyramid-shaped mountain peak which results from the cirque (bowl-shaped basins) erosion caused by many glaciers that are carved away from a central point. The pyramidal peak has a feature of a sharp-edged summit, and steep sloping sides. Examples of pyramidal peak include; Mount Aspiring in New Zealand, Pilot Peak in Wyoming, United States and Nevado Las Agujas in Los Ríos, Chile.

Answer:

Root hair cell cytoplasm  // Soil water

Explanation:

Water moves through the xylem vessels in a continuous transpiration stream:

root → stem → leaf

Transpiration produces a tension or ‘pull’ on the water in the xylem vessels by the leaves. Water molecules are cohesive so water is pulled up through the plant.

The transpiration stream has several functions. These include:

transporting mineral ions

providing water to keep cells turgid in order to support the plant

providing water to leaf cells for photosynthesis

keeping the leaves cool by evaporation

Root hair cells

The root hairs are where most water absorption happens. They are long and thin so they can penetrate between soil particles, and they have a large surface area for absorption of water.

Water passes from the soil water to the root hair cell’s cytoplasm by osmosis. This happens because the soil water has a higher water potential than the root hair cell cytoplasm:

Solution Water potential Concentration of dissolved solutes

Soil water High Low

Root hair cell cytoplasm Low High

Osmosis causes water to pass into the root hair cells, through the root cortex and into the xylem vessels

Assume that the kidney stone in question has reached the bladder. What is the pathway of exit for this stone (i.e. what anatomic
sasho [114]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

From your bladder, the pathway of exit to the outside is through the urethra.

The diameter of the female urethra is about 6 mm. The male urethra is usually a bit larger.

Kidney stones can vary in size from 0.1 mm to over 40 mm in size.

Stones less than about 6 mm in size can usually pass through the urethra on their own with little or no pain.

Larger stones can be excruciatingly painful. The urethra cannot expand enough for them to pass through. Such stones usually need medical treatment to be removed.
