Why is a rain drop a particularly damaging element to soil?

Answer:

Raindrops can cause soil erosion.

Explanation:

When the soil is without vegetation, whether it is alive or dead, if a rain occurs, it is highly vulnerable to erosion. This is due to the kinetic energy (or energy of the falling motion) of the raindrops. Raindrops act by "bombarding" the soil, causing it to disintegrate. As a result, aggregates of soil particles are disrupted by the impact of raindrops and the particles that compose it begin to settle on the soil surface, reducing the pores that absorb water in it.

Thus, with less pores to absorb water, there is a decrease in the rate of water infiltration into the soil, which is more likely to run on the soil surface in a process called runoff that, in tropical regions, is the major cause of erosion. of the soils. This "attack" by raindrops on bare soil causing disintegration of its structure is called splash erosion and the reduction of infiltration due to clogged pores from the soil surface is known as surface sealing due to the formation of surface crusting. .

Answer: The correct answer is- B)They are single cells that lack a nucleus and tend to live in extreme conditions.

Archaebacteria are the oldest life forms, which are found on earth. They are unicellular ( made up of one cell) prokaryotes ( lacking nucleus and membrane  bound subcellular organelles) belonging to the kindom, Archea. They are found in extremely harsh environmental conditions such as hotsprings, boiling mud surrounding volcanoes.

Example- Methanogens, halophiles.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

You want to make 50 ml of 1X tricaine solution in order to euthanize some fish. How much of a 20X tricaine stock solution will y
Olegator [25]

Answer: e. 2.5 ml

Explanation:

According to the dilution law,

C_1V_1=C_2V_2

where,

C_1 = concentration of stock solution = 20X

V_1 = volume of stock solution = ?

C_2 = concentration of required solution= 1X

V_2 = volume of  required solution= 50 ml

20\times V_1=1\times 50ml

V_2=2.5ml

Thus 2.5 ml much of a 20X tricaine stock solution is needed to dilute in order to make your solution.

What is the relationship between co2 and o2 in orcas
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Orca inhaled oxygen and exhaled carbondioxide just like humans and other mammals.

Orcas is a type of whale which breathe air through their lungs not gills. They can't inhale oxygen from water, it comes to the surface in order to inhale oxygen and exhale carbondioxide.

In Orca breathing is not an automatic reflex but a conscious act due to the environmental condition. When orcas come to the surface to breathe they must quickly expel the carbondioxide gas and inhale oxygen into the lungs so we can conclude that Orca breathe just like humans and other mammals.
