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.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: transporting substances in a cell

Why: In eukaryotic cells, endomembrane system refers to the set of membranes present inside the cytoplasm which form single functional and developmental unit. The membranes are either connected directly or indirectly and exchange material with the help of vesicle transport. The main function of this system is to modify, pack and transport the proteins and lipids in and out of the cell. The main organelles which form the endomembrane system are- nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vesicles.

The process by which a cell receives and responds to incoming messages is called __________ transduction.
tresset_1 [31]
The answer is signal transduction. It is also known as cell signaling. It is the transmission of molecular signals beginning from a cell's exterior to its interior. Signals got by cells must be transferred efficiently into the cell to make certain a suitable response. This step is started by the cell-surface receptors.
