Biology

Rainfall can cause erosion both when the rain hits the surface of the Earth, called splash erosion, and when raindrops accumulate and flow like small streams. Rivers can create a significant amount of erosion over time. They break up particles along the river bottom and carry them downstream. One example of river erosion is the Grand Canyon which was formed by the Colorado River. Ocean waves can cause the coastline to erode. The shear energy and force of the waves causes pieces of rock and coastline to break off changing the coastline over time. Large floods can cause erosion to happen very quickly acting like powerful rivers.

How does cholera coonnect with the concepts of cell to cell communication?
Advocard [28]
Cholera occurs when the G protein cannot hydrolyze GTP to GDP so the G protein is always active. This causes water and salt to leak out causing diarrhea and eventually death by dehydration.
