Explain how the water cycle removes pollutants from earth’s water

Biology
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

During the water cycle, the water on the earth's surface gets evaporated leaving the impurities behind and enters into the atmosphere as water vapor. Thus, the water cycle removes pollutants from earth’s water.

Explanation:

Water cycle is the continuous movement of water on the earth's surface and the atmosphere. Some of the water from the oceans, lakes, rivers etc gets evaporated by sunlight and enters into the atmosphere as water vapor. Also from the processes like sublimation (ice and snow) and evapotranspiration (plants), water vapor reaches the atmosphere. This vapor is then condensed into clouds and later falls back from the sky on to the earth's surface as precipitations like rain, snow etc. During the evaporation, the pollutants (impurities) in the water sources are left behind. Thus, the water cycle removes pollutants from earth’s water.

N76 [4]

Answer;

-Endocytosis

Explanation;

-Endocytosis includes; phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated: Endocytosis brings substances into the cell, plasma membrane surrounds the substances to be taken in, encloses them in a membrane-bound sac (vesicle) and brings them into the cell

-Phagocytosis: endocytosis of large solid particles (“cell eating”)

-Pinocytosis: endocytosis of extracellular fluid that contains dissolved solutes (“cell drinking”)

-Receptor-mediated: highly selective, ligands bind to specific receptor proteins on the plasma membrane and are then taken into the cell

-Exocytosis: the reverse of endocytosis: substances are removed from the cell; vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and release their contents into the extracellular fluid; important in nerve cells to release neurotransmitter and secretory cells to release cell products (ex. digestive enzymes, protein hormones).

Increased force output of the synergists for hip extension to compensate for the weakened gluteus maximus is an example of which
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

b. Synergistic dominance

Explanation:

The stabilizing muscles will always be <u>synergistic</u>, since only from the synergies (hence the term synergist) that arise from joint work is efficient and controlled movement possible. However, not all synergists will be stabilizers. Stabilizer will be one that, thanks to the geometric arrangement of its fibers, will have the ability to maintain alignment in the joint and stable the axis of rotation.

In the case of knee extension, we would have as stabilizers all the antagonists who, because the flexion axis is virtual and not physical, must maintain the stability of said axis. If the axle were physical, such as the wheel in a horse carriage, or on a skateboard through the bearings, the antagonistic muscles would not be necessary for this purpose, because the fixed axis would maintain the position. Since the joints of living beings do not have a fixed physical axis, it is the muscles themselves, specifically the antagonists, who must be responsible for maintaining the stability of the joint creating a virtual axis on which rotation occurs.
