-Water evaporates and condenses into clouds, then the clouds are blown over the ocean, and it rains.
-Water from a mountain flows down and into a river. The river empties into an ocean.

Answer:

Seepage; runoff

Explanation:

In nature, water is constantly circling: from the water surfaces it evaporates, travels up in the atmosphere, there it condensates, forms clouds, and then again falls to the land and water surfaces. This cycle has been going on for thousands and thousands of years and is known as the water cycle.

Now, the real question is how does the water, fallen from the clouds, on the land, travel back to the oceans.

Soil consists of multiple layers, some are water permeable, and some are not. When water (rain) reaches the soil, through tiny pores in upper permeable layers it will travel downward, deeper and deeper. This process is called the seepage. Upon reaching the water-impermeable layers, it stops, becoming part of what is known the underground water. It will continue to flow on this layer until it finds its way back on the surface, usually in a form of a spring, which will find its way to a river, and river will take that water to a sea or an ocean.

However, if the soil is to saturated with water, especially during long rainy, stormy period, or in the spring, after the snow melts. This excess water will, because of the gravity,  flow over the earth's surface, from higher (mountains) to lower (valley) areas, making its way to some valley river, which will take it further to a sea or an ocean.

Upon reaching the ocean, this land-water can again join the water cycle, again and again.

Cross bridge formation between myosin heads and actin molecules is caused by the elevation of calcium ion concentration in the c
Naily [24]

Answer:

by the sarcoplasmic reticulum's calcium ion pumps

Explanation:

Rigor mortis or postmortem rigidity, is a state caused by chemical changes in the muscles that occur post mortem and  cause the limbs of the corpse to stiffen.

This occurs because after death, there is no cellular respiration and consequently, no oxygen nor ATP (ATP is required for the muscle relaxation).

Calcium enters the cytosol after death because it is released due to the deterioration of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and due to the breakdown of the sarcolemma. Ca2+ ions activate the formation of actin-myosin cross-bridging necessary for the contraction. Muscles are unable to relax, because myosin heads continue to bind with the active sites of actin and there is no ATP to destabilize the myosin-actin bond.

Usimov [2.4K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Phloem

B. Xylem

C. Apical meristem

D. Root cap

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Root cap

Explanation:

The plant growth takes place not only above the surface but below the surface also in the roots. Roots continually grow to absorb more water and nutrients to support the growth of the plant.

The roots are protected by a layer of protective cells forming a structure called root cap below the root. The root cap protects the roots, secretes a substance which helps the growth of the root and the sense gravity.

In the given question since the roots are not able to grow therefore the damaged part will be the root cap.

Thus, the root cap is the correct answer.

Why can dinoflagellate blooms be harmful to humans?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Dinoflagellate is a type of neurotoxin which is found in the red-tide algae.

The answer is:

d. people can get paralytic shellfish poisoning during dinoflagellate blooms

Dinoflagellate algal blooms, during red-tide, release strong neurotoxins that can be ingested by shellfish and passed on to humans who eat the infected shellfish. The most significant public health problem that has been known to  cause this harmful algae poisoning is: Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP).
