Answer: Plant growth, animal actions and pressure release

Explanation:

The weathering is a process of disintegration of rocks into small pieces and sediments. This is caused by chemical or physical agents.

Mechanical weathering is also called as physical weathering. It is caused by the physical activities on the surface of rocks. The following are the examples of mechanical weathering.

1. Plant growth: The plants which grows over the surface of rocks, their roots may penetrate the rocks which causes the disintegration or rocks.

2. Animal actions: The animals may exert their pressure over the surface of rocks. They may create burrows like rat or mice inside the rocks.

3. Pressure release: The rock which was under pressure, instantly if pressure released, the structure of rock will become unstable, this may lead to the disintegration of the rock.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

2,7 m

Explanation:

You can solve this doing an energy balance:

m*g*h-\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} =41,7[J]

Solving this equation to get h:

\frac{41,7- \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} }{m*g}=h

Replacing the values and solving brings to 2,7 m

_____ Contains hydrolytic enzymes associated with the intracellular digestion of macromolecules
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Lysosome contains hydrolytic enzymes associated with the intracellular digestion of macromolecules.

Explanation:

Lysosome is found in all types of eukaryotic cells, and it is responsible for the digestion of old cell parts, micro-organism and macromolecules. Lysosome is surrounded by a membrane which maintains the interior acidic environment with the help of proton pump.

Lysosome contains unique membrane proteins and wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes such as acid hydrolyses that are helping in the breakdown of macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acid and polysaccharides). Lysosome acid dependent activity helping to protect the cell from self degradation in the situation of lysosomal rupture or leakage, while the pH of the cell is neutral to slightly alkaline.

What type of chemical bond holds the na+ and cl- ions together in table salt?
fredd [130]

<em>The bond between Na + and Cl- ions is an ionic bond</em>

<em>To achieve stability, atoms with low ionization energy such as Na atoms will release electrons and bind to atoms with high-affinity energy such as Cl atoms</em>

\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}

Atoms have different stability. Unstable atomic atoms will try to form stable electron configurations like those of noble gases. Where noble gases have the number of outer electrons 2 or 8

The formation of electron configurations such as noble gases can be done by forming shared ions or electron pairs

Atoms with high ionization energy and atoms that are difficult to draw electrons will form bonds with shared electron pairs (electrons can be from one atom or two atoms attached)

In forming ions, atoms will release or attract electrons

Ion bonds occur because atoms that have low ionization energy (easily release electrons) form a + ion, and these electrons are bound by atoms that have large affinity energy (easily pulling electrons)

Generally, ionic bonds occur in metal and nonmetallic elements. Metal elements have low ionization energy and non-metallic elements have a high electron affinity

In Na atoms, to achieve stability, Na will release one electron so that it has an electron configuration like noble gas Ne

Na: 2 8 1

Ne: 2 8

so that it becomes a Na + ion

While the Cl atom will bind one electron, so it has an electron configuration like noble gas Ar

Cl: 2 8 7

Ar: 2 8 8

So that it becomes a Cl- ion

Finally, there will be an attractive attraction between positive ions and negative ions and NaCl is formed

So the bond between Na + and Cl- ions is an ionic bond
