<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Desertification

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Desertification refers to the gradual ecosystem degradation, where plants and animals, and geological resources such as water and soil, are stressed beyond their ability to adjust to changing conditions.
  • Desertification is caused by by various factors such as overgrazing, urbinization, overdrafting of ground water, deforestation, tillage practices and natural disasters among other factors.
  • <em>Desertification affects the ground water reserves, topsoil, human, surface runoff, animal and plant populations.</em>

The answer is; desertification

Topsoil is usually the riches soil in terms of nutrient is important in support of plant vegetation. It is rich because it contains humus and other decomposed materials that recycle nutrients. When the topsoil is washed away, the local region becomes barren in that it cannot support vegetation. This causes the area to turn into a desert.

Kobotan [32]

Parietal cells produce gastric acid (hydrochloric acid) in response to histamine (via H2 receptors), acetylcholine (M3 receptors) and gastrin (gastrin receptors).

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

It is through this mechanism that blood is oxygenated and carbon dioxide, the waste product of cellular respiration, is removed from the body.</em>

Which organelle is responsible for wilting?
makkiz [27]

Vacuole is the answer.

Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non woody parts of plants and occurs when turgor pressure falls. 

The vacuole controls turgor pressure. Turgor pressure dictates the rigidity of the cell and is associated with the difference between the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell.

When a plant receives adequate amounts of water, the central vacuoles of its cells swell as the liquid collects within them creating a high level of turgor pressure which helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant along with the support of the cell wall.

In the absence of enough water , central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced  compromising the plant's rigidity so that wilting takes place.
