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.

What functions do proteins perform in the cell membrane?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

A) they help transport some substances through the membrane.

Explanation:

The membrane proteins that span the bilayer of phospholipids help in the transport of polar, large and charged substances across the membrane. The nonpolar core of the membrane does not allow these charged and polar substances to pass through. Proteins serving as channels form pores to allow movement of the specific substances.  

On the other hand, carrier transport proteins of the membrane bind to the substances present at one side of the membrane and deliver them to the opposite side.

Bones softens when kept in acid for some hours
Leokris [45]

The answer would likely be true because bones dissolve when kept in acid for hours because the bone has a component, called calcium. With the calcium, it breaks down and dissolves in acid when it is dissolved in it, making the bone to dissolve the minerals, making the bones decalcified.
