Answer:

Which could cause topsoil to be lost?

<u>a) wind and water erosion</u>

Explanation:

A natural and common cause of soil erosion is Water. Water can carry away tiny soil particles.

Raindrops can impact the soil surface and can break down the aggregates in soil and scatter them.

Water runoff is another cause of soil erosion and this occurs when water on a slope isn’t absorbed into the soil or becomes trapped on the surface.

Loose particles can be picked up and carried away by the wind.

Soil surfaces can be worn down when struck by airborne particles carried by the wind.

B. Lack of use of the top soil rather helps the top soil to regain its nutrients.

c. Compaction can the topsoil from losing particles, since there are no loose particles to be picked up.

D. Desertification mostly causes the soil to lose its nutrients, not go away completely.

Hope this helps!

Sometimes described as a "chemical brother" of gaba (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which amino acid neurotransmitter acts in an exci

poizon [28]

excitatory amino acids are the amino acids helps in transformation of neurotransmitters or it helps in transmission of synapsis rapidly in brain of mammal. EAA known to be neurotransmitters for Central nervous system.

Excitatory amino acids count may vary from 50’s to 100’s. They are mostly composed of non-protein- amino acids obtained from algae or fungi.

The possible EAAs are Glutamate (Glu) and Aspartate which act as excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. They get released from neurons where they induce excitation via metabotropic Glu receptors.

Both glutamate and aspartate having excitatory effect on neurotransmission whereas Gama-amino butyric acid having inhibitory effect on neurotransmission.

Thus, the statement ‘neurotransmitters are chemical brother of gaba’ is indicating the complementary effect of each other.

What is the conclusive evidence that mixing sugar in the water is a physical change

djyliett [7]

THE DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL CHANGE: Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but can not usually be used to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds. so the answer is that the form of the sugar is changing in water but if you boiled the water till its all evaporated all that will be left is the sugar

I need help with Chemistry: Mole Conversion<br> It must be answered in complete detail

Anni [7]

Answer:

As Per Given Information

Number of moles SO₂ ( Sulphur dioxide ) is 0.30

We 've been asked to find the number of atoms in given moles of Sulphur dioxide .

Value of Avogadro Number is 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

For finding the number of atoms we will use formale

$\underline{\boxed{\textbf{\textsf{ Number \: of \: atoms \: = Given \: moles \: . Avogadro \: number}}}}$

Putting the given value we obtain

$\sf \twoheadrightarrow \: Number \: of \: atoms \: = 0.30 \times 6.022 \times {10}^{ 23} \\ \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \: Number \: of \: atoms \: = \: 1.8066 \times {10}^{ 23} atoms$

So, the number of atoms in sulphur dioxide is 1.8066 × 10²³
