Answer:

C. Desertification.

Explanation:

This is mainly caused by overgrazing and other human and natural activities in this areas. When desertification happens in a land area, it hampers the land ability to support life; affecting wild species, agricultural crops, domestic animals and people. Its negative effect includes famine of the inhabitants, also mass migration, as it can also cause extinction of some organisms or species.

Consider this situation: you want to reabsorb sodium ions but you do not want to increase the volume of the blood by reabsorbing
choli [55]

Answer:

Increase aldosterone and decrease ADH

Explanation:

Aldosterone causes reabsorption of sodium ions while Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes reabsorption of water. Aldosterone also causes water reabsorption due to increased osmotic pressure by reabsorbing sodium ions. But for water reabsorption, Aldosterone has to work along with ADH to increase permeability for water. If we increase Aldosterone and decrease ADH, the sodium ions will be reabsorbed while water cannot be reabsorbed due to decreased permeability of DCT and collecting tubules for water.

The map of a walking trail is drawn on a coordinate grid with three points of interest. The trail starts at R(−2, 4) and goes to
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The total length will be "10 units". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given points are:

R(−2, 4)

S(3, 4)

T(3, −1)

On applying the distance formula,

⇒ RS=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

⇒       =\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(4-4)^2}

⇒       =\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(0)^2}

⇒       =\sqrt{25}

⇒       =5 \ units

and,

⇒ ST=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

⇒       =\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-1-4)^2}

⇒       =\sqrt{0+(-5)^2}

⇒       =5 \ units

Now,

The total trail length will be:

= RS+ST

= 5+5

= 10 \ units
