Describe the role of energy in the water cycle in which plants transfer water to the atmosphere

1 answer:

4 0

Solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. Plants put down roots into the soil to draw water and nutrients up into the stems and leaves. Some of this water is returned to the air by transpiration (when combined with evaporation, the total process is known as evapotranspiration).

He tells his students that _____ in the ______ help coordinate contraction of certain muscles and relaxation of others. Answers:

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

A. motor neurons; peripheral nervous system

Explanation:

Motor neurons carry signals from the peripheral nervous system to the muscles. This causes the muscles to either relax or contract. Note that the peripheral nervous system consists of neurons and parts of neurons outside of the central nervous system which consists of the brain and spinal cord. When signals are transmitted between the motor neurons and peripheral nervous system, this causes a response to stimulus in the muscles which would either, relax or contract.

What is the force exerted on an object if it experiences 1000 Pa of pressure over an area of 25 m2? NO UNIT, NO COMMA, AND NO DE

rodikova [14]

Answer:

F = 25000 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pressure exerted by the object, P = 1000 Pa

Area of cross section, A = 25 m²

We need to find the force exerted on an object. The pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\F=P\times A\\\\F=1000\ Pa\times 25\ m^2\\\\F=25000\ N$

So, the force exerted on an object is 25000 N.

The phosphorus cycle differs from the biogeochemical cycles in that

jarptica [38.1K]

The foundation of relative dating is it does not have an atmospheric reservoir. The phosphorus cycle does not include gas phase. Its largest reservoir is located in sedimentary rocks, and the cycle begins there. Phosphate from rocks are eliminated and then released into the soil and water. The phosphate ions then absorbed by plants and transferred to animals or organisms which eat plants. It is then returned to the soil by way of excretion and decomposed by plants and animals when they die.
