Answer:

1. D. Evaporation

2. A. A closed lake has no outlet stream.

3. C. The angle of the slope

4. C. Granite

Explanation:

1. The process through which water changes its state from liquid to gaseous is known as evaporation. A source of energy is required for this process to occur, energy that is provided by solar heat in this case. The opposite process in which water changes state from gas to liquid, is known as condensation. Precipitation is the process in which the condensed water reaches the Earth’s surface under the force of gravity. During infiltration, water on the ground surface enters the soil.  

2. A closed lake is defined by the lack of any outflow. Thus, any water that does not evaporate, will remain in this type of lake indefinitely.

3. The only criterion not used to describe a mass movement event is the angle of the slope. For such an event, the type of motion is the most important characteristic together with the physical characteristics of the material.

4. Granite is a highly consolidated material and thus it has a very high integrity. The other materials listed have inferior characteristics.

5. Soil erosion is a displacement process that occurs naturally though the action of water and wind. On a steep slope, no soil formation occurs, because, due to gravity, all the eroded material will be transported to another location. Thus, at the slope’s location, no soil formation occurs.

What organs are being affected from dwarfism???? And how????
Alexandra [31]

Pituitary dwarfism is caused by problems arising from the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, also called the hypophysis, is a gland at the base of the brain that produces many different hormones. This gland is divided into the anterior (front) and posterior (back) halves. The anterior pituitary produces six hormones: growth hormone, adrenocorticotropin (corticotropin), thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin), prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, and lutenizing hormone. The posterior pituitary gland only produces two hormones: antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and oxytocin.

The growth process begins in the lower part of the forebrain in a small organ called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases hormones that regulate the production of other hormones. When the hypothalamus releases growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), the anterior pituitary is stimulated to release growth hormone (GH). Growth hormone then acts on the liver and other tissues and stimulates them to secrete insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 directly promotes the development of bone and muscle, causing bones to grow in length, and muscles to increase protein synthesis (make more protein).

Since growth is a complex phenomenon, it may be slowed down or stopped by abnormalities arising at any point in the process. Thus, dwarfism can result if there is a deficiency in any of these hormones, if there is a failure in the receptor cells receiving the hormonal stimuli, or if the target cells are unable to respond.

At its most basic, pituitary dwarfism results from decreased production of hormones by the anterior pituitary. When none of the hormones of the anterior pituitary are adequately produced, this is called panhypopituitarism. A common form of pituitary dwarfism is due to deficiencies in the production of growth hormone (GH). When less GH than normal is produced during childhood, an individual's arms, legs, and other structures continue to develop in normal proportions, but at a decreased rate.

PLEASE HELP<br><br> How do Creeping Thistles (flowering vascular plant) adapt to life on land??
yulyashka [42]

Creeping thistle continuously survives through easy germination of seeds. The Creeping thistle seed can be buried in undisturbed soil for over 20 years and still become growable. And also, the roots help in their growth. They absorb nutrients and regenerate to form new plants. Although the roots may be able to penetrate some meters down, most regeneration occurs within or just below the plow layer. Portions of the adjacent roots become thick due to the developing storage tissue which is where new shoots are formed.

Griffith, in his 1928 experiments, demonstrated that bacterial strains could be genetically transformed. The evidence that DNA w
Nadusha1986 [10]

Griffith's experiment worked with two types of pneumococcal bacteria (a rough type and a smooth type) and identified that a "transforming principle"  could transform them from one type to another.

At first, bacteriologists suspected the transforming factor was a protein. The "transforming principle" could be precipitated with alcohol, which showed that it was not a carbohydrate. But Avery and McCarty observed that proteases (enzymes that degrade proteins) did not destroy the transforming principle. Neither did lipases (enzymes that digest lipids). Later they found that the transforming substance was made of nucleic acids but ribonuclease (which digests RNA) did not inactivate the substance. By this method, they were able to obtain small amounts of highly purified transforming principle, which they could then analyze through other tests to determine its identity, which corresponded to DNA.
