Highly porous and permeable

Explanation:

Compared to other types of rock layers, an aquifer is highly porous and permeable.

Aquifers are always the target when prospecting for ground water in a formation.

  • Porosity is the amount of void spaces in a rock.
  • Aquifers are highly porous .
  • Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the void spaces and their ability to transmit fluids.
  • Aquifers have very high permeability compared to other rock types.

In terms of permeability and porosity, an aquifer is higher porous and permeable.

Taking only vitamin D into consideration, what would happen to the reproductive success of:
icang [17]

Answer:

The reproductive success of these people would be:

A) lower.

B) higher.

C) higher.

D) lower.

Explanation:

Vitamin D is a type of secosteroid and its synthesis in the epidermis is dependent on sun exposure (UVB radiation). This vitamin is key to have normal growth and to properly absorb calcium, magnesium, and phosphate.

Melanin, on the other end, is a natural pigment also found on skin that is responsible for our skin color and protects our bodies from UVB radiation damage. On people with darker skin tones, the higher levels of melanin hinder Vitamin D synthesis since it acts as a natural protector against the sun.

For this reason, light-skinned people (low melanin levels, high vitamin D synthesis) live better in the poles, where they can absorb limited UV because of the weaker sunlight. Dark-skinned people are better off living in regions with the stronger sunlight, like the tropics.

A  . mitosis

Explanation:

The cellular process that would be directly affected by this catalyst is the mitosis.

Mitosis is as form of cell division in body cells. It ensures that restores the number of chromosomes in the daughter cell.

  • During mitosis, chromosomes are replicated and are facilitated by certain catalysts.
  • If a catalyst blocks off the separation of chromosomes, the process of mitosis will be affected and might not occur.
