Rigid skeletons are formed from mostly of collagen, bone is living, growing tissue. Collagen is a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate is a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework.

Which of the following results from cutting down trees
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Vegetation on soil protects the soil from erosion because its roots and root hairs help bind the soil particles together. This occurs mechanically by binding soil into crumbs and also chemically by providing organic matter that binds the soil particle into humus that holds moisture. The soil becomes heavy to be carried off by wind erosion. Trees also break the down flow of water hence reducing the capacity of runoff to carry soil sediments.
