Question 1 The world's population is spread very unevenly. Some spaces are empty or very sparsely populated: we speak of human deserts:
• Cold polar environments are the least populated regions: the ground, frozen permanently, prevents any form of agriculture, the very low temperatures make the habitat difficult.
• The hot or cold desert environments are also not busy: the lack of rain and the strong heat during the day limit the activities of men. The only exceptions are oases.
• The role of relief is more difficult to define. High temperate mountains like the Alps are generally sparsely populated but tropical chains like the Andes have a high population density. However, men have generally settled in the plains, in the valleys (along with the rivers) and on the coasts.
There are also other factors unrelated to land factors that influence population density such as job availability, or even historical factors.
Question 2: Birth rate:
The birth rate (sometimes called the crude birth rate) is the ratio of the annual number of births to the average total population for that year. When the population grows, the contact between people will be more permanent, and it will increase the marriage rate, and thus the birth rate. Age structure:The age structure is a mode of graphical representation of the structure (of age as well as of sex) of a population which constitutes a synthetic image of the past, present and future of the population.When a population resides for a long time in the same place (in favorable conditions, not raising the death rate and without moving), this will vary the age structure by observing an increase in the elderly population.

Explanation:
The KE of a pendulum bob is maximum where it moves fastest, at the lowest point; PE is maximum at the uppermost points. When the pendulum bob swings by the point that marks half its maximum height, it has half its maximum KE, and its PE is halfway between its minimum and maximum values.

Answer:
If a person has a diet high in saturated fats, LDL cholesterol molecules can carry cholesterol from the liver to cells and to the arterial walls whereas HDL cholesterol transports cholesterol from the cells to the liver where it is converted to bile salts which can modulate cardiovascular function.
Explanation:
Cholesterol is a lipid generated in the liver that is used to make hormones and vitamin D, but can also be ingested when eating fats.
Cholesterol can be divided into two types: LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein).
LDL is commonly known as the "bad cholesterol" and is responsible for the deposit of cholesterol in the walls of arteries, which generates atherosclerosis and can potentially lead to strokes or heart attacks because it occludes the vessels and makes it impossible for the blood to advance.
HDL is also called "good cholesterol" because it takes the cholesterol from the cells to the liver where it'll serve a good cause, instead of blocking the arteries.
To reduce the amount of LDL, it's best to limit the consumption of fatty meats, dairy products and other saturated fats. Foods with a good amount of HDL are those with unsaturated fats, like fish, nuts and seeds.
For each of the examples, simple diffusion, carrier, and channel mediated, each type involves the flow down a concentration gradient. This means that the molecules flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In turn, this allows for a passive process, meaning no ATP is needed! I hope this explains your question.
Answer:
There are many things that can be read from ripple marks in sedimentary rocks. To start, a geologist looks at: the types (sizes, composition, shapes) of grains in the rock, the height of the “waves”, the distance between peaks (highs) and troughs (lows), whether the rock seems to be lying in its original position, and the internal shapes of the ripples (by looking at the edges of broken pieces). They also seek to determine the age of the rock and information about other rocks lying below and above the specific rock.
