A Thermometer: measures the air temperature.
A wind vane: determines the direction from which the wind is blowing from.
An Anemometer: measures wind speed.
A Hygrometer: measures the water vapor content of air or the humidity.
A Barometer: measures air pressure
Greenhouse effect - atmosphere traps additional heat (some light absorbed, some reflected. Reflected in form of infrared light. GE occurs when the atmosphere temporarily traps some of the infrared light that the ground emits, slowing its return to space.) Occurs only when the atmosphere contains gases that can absorb infrared light (greenhouse gases: H2O, CO2, methane (CH4).
D. diversity of the resources in the habitat.
Explanation:
The deforestation brings in lot of problem, much more than it brings in benefits for the humans on the long run. Once a forest is totally destroyed, the habitat suddenly loses the majority of its resources, especially for the organisms that are consumers. The soil too gets rapidly degraded, so the majority of the producers too find it very hard and takes them long time to reestablish themselves.
Having the diversity of resources dwindle, the organisms suffer badly. All living creates need resources in order to survive, so once they don't have them they die out. This unfortunately happens all over the world, with the tropical rainforest habitats being the most endangered, especially in the Amazon, Congo, and Southeast Asia.
Answer: calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Explanation:
Muscle contraction is the stimulation of sites that produce stress within muscle fibres.
Calcium ions bind to tropomyosin in inducing muscle fibre contraction, exposing active site for Crossbridge formation on actin. Then ATP binds to myosin, transferring the myosin to its high-energy state, freeing the myosin head from the active actin site. Triggering tension-generating sites within muscle fibres.
Hence, the contraction process is initiated with teh relaease of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum.
