Describe the relationship between Surface Area and Rate of Weathering ?

Biology
1 answer:
dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

the rate of weathering is not the same for all rocks. Factors such as surface area, rock composition, and location influence the rate of weathering. water, the faster the rock will break down. A greater surface area allows chemical weathering to affect more of a rock.

What is the difference from o to m
3241004551 [841]

Letter M is in between L and N. So like this LMN and o is in between N and P. So like this NOP. So technically the difference from o to m is just one of N.

Identify the MOST specific taxonomic level.
UNO [17]

Answer:

Species

Explanation:

Species is the most specific and basic taxonomic level of classification and also the basic unit of biodiversity. Species is defined as group of highly closely related organisms that mate or breed to produce fertile offspring. After species genus is specific, and mostly organisms names are identified by species names and genus names as in binomial nomenclature, all scientific names are derived from genus and species e.g. the scientific name of frog is <em>Rana tigrina, </em>here '<em>Rana</em>' is genus name that is always capitalized and '<em>tigrena</em>' is species name that starts with small letter but both are always written in italics or underlined.

Which wavelengths of light drive the highest rates of photosynthesis? Select the two best answers.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

  • 400-450 nm
  • 550-700 nm

Explanation:

Chlorophyll pigments (mainly chlorophyll a and b) absorb the red and blue spectrum of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum for photosynthesis. This is why leaves appear green (and occasionally orange) because this visible light portion is not absorbed. The blue light absorbed by leaves ranges between 400 – 450 nm while the red light ranges between 500 nm and 700 nm.

The cell membranes of Antarctic ice fish might have which of the following adaptations? a. a high percentage of unsaturated fatt
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:

- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.

- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.

Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>

In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.

This is the portion of the cell outside and close the nucleus.<br> a. cell wall<br> b. cytoplasm
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Cytoplasm is the answer

Explanation:

Cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus.
