Answer:

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines point source pollution as any contaminant that enters the environment from an easily identified and confined place.
The classic image of a factory smokestack belching smoke and fumes into the air or an industrial discharge pipe pouring contaminated liquid into a river are some great examples of point source releases to the environment.
Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is pollution resulting from many diffuse sources, in direct contrast to point source pollution which results from a single source.

Hope this helps :)

gayaneshka [121]

So white blood cell’s(WBCs for short) main job is to fight infections.
They do this by swallowing the infection.

You see,WBCs do not have a permanent shape.this means that they enlarge and decrease size of parts of their body.So they grow two long arm like structures called pseudopodia which swallow the infection.(pseudopodia means false feet).
You can see the process in the photo I attached from google

Peptide hormones are generated in the endoplasmic reticulum. Moreover, steroid hormones are generated in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.

<h3>What are peptide and steroid hormones?</h3>

Peptide hormones are hormones composed of amino acids, whereas steroid hormones are composed of lipids.

Peptide hormones are generated in the ER and then transported to the Golgi apparatus to be included in secretory vesicles for secretion.

Steroid hormones aren't stored in secretory vesicles and are transported by using serum proteins in the blood.

Gluconeogenesis shares some, but not all, enzymes with the glycolytic pathway. It would appear to be more efficient if both path

viva [34]

Answer:

D) Three of the reaction steps in gluconeogenesis would have prohibitively large, positive free energies if they used glycolytic enzymes for their catalysis.

Explanation:

The glycolytic enzymes catalyze the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, while gluconeogenesis enzymes catalyze the formation of carbohydrates from pyruvate.
