<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.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

there are two types of cell one eukaryotic cell that have true nucleus (genetic material enclosed in membrane) and membrane bounded organelles and other is prokaryotic cell that donot have have true nucleus (genetic material dispersed in cytoplasm) and membrane bounded organelles.

similarities between PC and EC is that both contains cell membrane, ribosomes (not a membrane bounded organelle) .

examples of PC are bacteria , paramecium,fungi etc

examples of EC are plant and animal cells

there are two names for cell membrane i.e plasmalemma, cell surface membrane,

selectively permeable or semipermeable means cell only allows those material to pass through its cell membrane which it needs.this cell'ability is important because to protection against the poisonous substance and to maintain cell needs .

What ways is the cell cycle controlled in an organism? What happens if the cell cycle is not controlled?
AfilCa [17]

Through phosphorylation, Cdks signal the cell that it is ready to pass into the next stage of the cell cycle. As their name suggests, Cyclin-Dependent Protein Kinases are dependent on cyclins, another class of regulatory proteins. Cyclins bind to Cdks, activating the Cdks to phosphorylate other molecules.

Identify ways in which all biological systems from cells and organisms to populations, communities and ecosystems are affected b
Olin [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cell which is the basic unit of life is affected by the interactions with biotic and abiotic factors such as temperature, sunlight. Organisms are made up of cells and they respond differently to temperature changes, sunlight, water availability. Some cell perform better at some certain range of temperature while some cannot.

Organism itself are affected by the interaction of some of this factors this include water and nutrients availability. Distribution of organism in a particular habitat is greatly influenced by availability of water and nutrients it lead to competition for survival among organism. Population density and species diversity also influence community and ecosystem. Population determines how resources is allocated in a community and it affect the activities of the organism in that domain or territory.
