Answer:

Groundwater can cause erosion through chemical weathering. First, water that sinks into the ground mixes with carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid, a weak acid. Carbonic acid can break down limestone. Some of the limestone changes chemically and is carried away in a solution of water. This gradually hollows out pockets in the rock. Over time, these pockets develop into large holes underground—caves or caverns.

Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.

Answer:

gogi apparatus and the rough endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

After the synthesis of proteins in their various site of production, thses proteins needs to be packaged into vessicle for transport to their destination. Vesicles that bud off from the Endoplasmic reticulum will then fuse with the nearest Golgi apparatus membranes, the cis-Golgi. these vessicles continue to travel using vesicle transport through the Golgi apparatus until they reach the end of the golgi appartus budding off — called the trans-Golgi. they are then transported to wherever they are either - the lysosomes, the plasma membrane etc.

When it comes to foraging for food, name three ways in which herbivores may partition their niches.

mylen [45]

Answer:

In interspecies competition, two species use the same limited resource. Competition has a negative effect on both of the species (-/- interaction). A species' niche is basically its ecological role, which is defined by the set of conditions, resources, and interactions it needs (or can make use of).
