Answer:

The correct option is B. Evaporation by water.

Explanation:

Evaporation is a process by which the transformation of water occurs in a liquid state to a gaseous state and travels from the earth s surface to the atmosphere.

In a liquid, the molecules move constantly and at the same time are joined together by attractive forces and the molecules collide with each other. Heating increases the agitation of the molecules. Each time they stir more and some escape out of the liquid and end up in the atmosphere. Some liquids evaporate faster than others at the same temperature. This is because the forces that hold the molecules together in the liquid are smaller.

The evaporation of water is important and indispensable in life, since the water vapor, when condensed becomes clouds and returns in the form of rain, snow, fog or dew.

Several studies have shown that oceans, seas, lakes and rivers provide about 90 % of moisture to the atmosphere via evaporation, the remaining 10 % comes from the transpiration of plants.

A major function of the human urinary bladder is
ioda
The answer is A, storing urine until it is eliminated.


The bladder stores urine, allowing urination to be infrequent and controlled. The bladder is lined by layers of muscle tissue that stretch to hold urine. The normal capacity of the bladder is 400-600 mL. During urination, the bladder muscles squeeze, and two sphincters (valves) open to allow urine to flow out.

Because it is difficult to excrete iron once it is in the body, iron balance is maintained primarily through absorption. The iro
Rzqust [24]
<h2>The given statement is true</h2>

Explanation:

Iron absorption occurs in the duodenum and upper jejunum of small intestine

  • At physiological pH ferrous iron is rapidly oxidized to the insoluble ferric form
  • Gastric acid lowers the pH in the duodenum which enhances the solubility and uptake of ferric iron
  • Once iron gets inside the enterocyte it can be stored as ferritin;Ferritin is a hollow spherical protein which helps in storage and regulation of iron levels within the body
  • Ferritin molecule have ferroxidase activity which helps in the mobility of Fe2+ out of the enterocyte by ferroportin
  • Transferrin is the major iron transport protein which transports iron through blood
  • Fe3+ binds to transferrin so Fe2+ transported through ferroportin must be oxidized to Fe3+
  • Fe2+ needs to be oxidized first so that it can be transported through ferroportin
  • Once iron gets inside the cell it can be used for various cellular processes

On topographic maps, how does the spacing of contour lines relate to continental and ocean-floor topography? A. For both contine
Trava [24]

For both continental and ocean-floor topography, gentler slopes are represented by widely spaced lines while steeper slopes are represented by closely spaced lines.

Explanation:

The contour lines are one of the main, and one of the most used methods on the maps for representing the topography. Basically, the contour lines are closed lines that connect dots on the same elevation. It may sound very simple, but they do provide good insight into the topography, especially if the reader of the map knows how to interpret them well.

The contour lines are used both for continental and ocean-floor topography. The rules are the same for both, including the representation of the slopes. When a slope is gentler, the contour lines are more widely spaced. When a slope is steeper, the contour lines are much more closely spaced.

Some elements of the contour lines or that go with them to give better representation are:

  • black dots (representing a top)
  • thicker lines (every fifth, so that the counting is faster and easier)
  • small lines with given direction (representing cliffs or highly steep slopes)
  • numbers (providing information about elevation)
