plant growth

animal actions

pressure release

Explanation:

The causes of mechanical weathering of rocks include plant growth, animal actions and pressure release. Acid rain and carbon dioxide leads to chemical weathering of rocks.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soil.

  • Mechanical weathering is also known as physical rock weathering.
  • In this type of weathering huge masses of rocks are broken down into tiny pieces.
  • When plant grows on rocks, their roots penetrates through cracks in the rock and can disintegrate it.
  • Some animals burrow and bore deep into rocks.
  • When a rock mass is lifted from the top of another, pressure release leads to the formation of exfoliation in which a rock resembles an onion peel.

According to the passage, which of the following topics of study was the most crucial to his final analysis?
TEA [102]

Answer: The study of plant varieties.

Explanation:

This question relates to the studies that Gregor Mendel, founder of modern genetics, performed at the University of Vienna.

Experimenting on pea plants, Gregor Mendel was able to establish a lot of the rules of heredity that we know today even though his research was not fully appreciated or understood during his own life.

He credited the study of plant varieties to have been most crucial to his final analysis because farmers had been crossbreeding varieties for millennia to bring about better traits in plants.

All genetic information is stored in DNA are divided into units called ____
rusak2 [61]
Okay, biology isn't exactly my strongest subject (it never has been), but I'm pretty sure the answer is nucleotides. DNA is made up of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group, and a nitrogen base. There are four different nitrogen bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). A always pairs with T, and G always pairs with C.

Which factor does not greatly influence the rate of
jonny [76]

Answer:

a. transcription

Explanation:

<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>

The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.

<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>

The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.

The correct option is a.

zvonat [6]

Answer: No

Explanation: Elodea or Paramecium live in fresh-water lakes and they are not adaptive to salt-water. Oceans are salty and the cells will lose water due to osmosis and eventually dry up and fall apart.
