<u>Answer:</u>

The threats of California soil resources are soils, urban development

<u>Explanation:</u>

Native soils, unmodified by  human activity, are becoming  rare and we are losing the valuable  power they provide.  Soils in the Delta continue to subside.

Urban development has expanded into vast acres of prime farmland in California,  diminishing our capacity to produce sustainable food and fiber.Increased fire frequency will increase soil erosion, resulting in depletion of nutrients from the soil and polluting the surface waters that receive the runoff.

There are many threats to the soil resources in California some of them are Hydraulic mining, Forest fires, and Solar plant installation.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • Soil resources are said to be degraded when there is a decline in soil productivity.
  • This decline in soil productivity can be due to many factors.
  • The balance between the soil and the environment is usually disturbed by humans.
  • The first threat is the hydraulic mining in California disturbed natural soils.
  • Agriculture in California only depends on irrigation and the changes in water budgets largely affect the soil there.
  • Forest fires and its activities that are carried out to suppress fire causes soil erosion.
  • Also, the construction of solar and wind power facilities is disturbing the soil in deserts.
  • Thus, gradually California is reaching a point where undisturbed soil is rarely found.

Answer:

Es probable que a través del tiempo la población de piojos también se vuelva resistente al segundo pijojicida. Los piojos resistentes se generan por un proceso de selección natural  

Explanation:

La evolución es el proceso mediante el cual los organismos cambian (evolucionan) con el tiempo con el fin de adaptarse a sus condiciones ambientales. La selección natural opera seleccionando aquellos individuos mejor adaptados al ambiente en el cual cada individuo se desarrolla. Los individuos adaptativamente superiores poseen más chances de sobrevivir y de reproducirse, trasmitiendo de este modo sus genes a la descendencia. Las mutaciones representan la fuente principal de variabilidad genética en la forma de nuevos alelos y genes. Las mutaciones que son beneficiosas y confieren una ventaja adaptativa son seleccionadas por selección natural. En este caso, la resistencia al primer piojicida se debió a la aparición de una o más mutaciones las cuales confirieron resistencia al primer compuesto. Con el tiempo, la frecuencia de los individuos portadores de mutaciones beneficiosas en la población de piojos fue incrementándose paulatinamente (como resultado del proceso de selección natural). Es muy probable que este proceso evolutivo también se repita con el segundo piojicida.

Typical United States weather patterns show the continental polar air mass moving south toward the Gulf of Mexico. Why does this
Reptile [31]
The correct answer is letter (<span>C) The polar air mass moves south to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.</span> These air masses are bringing cold air to warmer areas most especially during the winter and cool. These air masses are stable and usually does not form much cloud. While the Continental Polar air move down south, across the warmer land, the lower part of the air mass is modified and thus few clouds are formed.

The human body does not constantly lose water through _______.
S_A_V [24]

The human body does not constantly lose water through hydration and circulation. When someone is hydrated, he is drinking an enough amount of water to sustain the needs of his body. Circulation then helps this in distributing the water in different parts of the body.

Mrac [35]

Answer;

The mismatched pair is;

C) receptor proteins — bind with enzymes

Explanation;

- A receptor protein is a protein molecule that receives chemical signals from outside a cell. When such chemical signals bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue response, e.g. a change in the electrical activity of a cell.

-They are generally trans-membrane proteins, which bind to signaling molecules outside the cell and subsequently transmit the signal through a sequence of molecular switches to internal signaling pathways. There are two types of receptors: internal receptors and cell-surface receptors.
