Does the rate of soil formation increase or decrease in areas with steep slopes? Then EXPLAIN the reasoning behind your answer.

Biology

In steep slopes, the rate of soil formation decreases. In these areas, water will run off rapidly and may erode the surfaces of the soil. This will result to poor soil on these areas while at the lower part of the slope deposits are found. Also, sunlight is much more direct at those area which can cause the soil to dry.

1. Biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants, animals, and other forms of life. It is concerned not only with habitation patterns but also with the factors responsible for variations in distribution.

2. weathering and other natural forces break down the substrate, rock, enough for the establishment of certain hearty plants and lichens with few soil requirements, known as pioneer species. These species help to further break down the mineral-rich lava into soil where other, less hardy species can grow and eventually replace the pioneer species. In addition, as these early species grow and die, they add to an ever-growing layer of decomposing organic material and contribute to soil formation. This process repeats multiple times during succession. At each stage, new species move into an area, often due to changes to the environment made by the preceding species, and may replace their predecessors. At some point, the community may reach a relatively stable state and stop changing in composition. However, it's unclear if there is always—or even usually—a stable endpoint to succession.

3. I don’t have the video so I’m going to take. Wild guess. Just look up types of finches

4. Broadly speaking, different species are unable to interbreed and produce healthy, fertile offspring due to barriers called mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
These barriers can be split into two categories based on when they act: prezygotic and postzygotic.

ALL BUT one product of the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis is utilized in the light independent reaction. That is
Lesechka [4]

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen.

Photosynthetic reactions are divided into two phases: 1). light dependent reactions and 2). light independent reactions.

1) In light dependent reactions, chlorophyll and other light absorbing pigments absorb light energy and conserve it as ATP and NADPH with the simultaneous liberation of oxygen. This reaction occurs only when plants are illuminated. In light reactions, light energy is used to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen, the hydrogen ions produced are transferred to NADP+ to form NADPH, ATP is also produced in light dependent reactions.

2) In light independent reactions, ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions are used to drive the light independent reactions in which ATP and NADPH are used to reduce CO2 to form trioses, starch, sucrose and other products derived from them.

Duration of hypotension before initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy is the critical determinant of survival in human se
nydimaria [60]

The goal is to find out how often effective antimicrobial therapy is delayed after the start of persistent or recurrent hypotension in septic shock and how this affects mortality.

Design: A cohort research that was conducted in retrospect between July 1989 and June 2004.

Setting: Ten hospitals (four academic, six community) and fourteen critical care units (four medical, four surgical, and six combined medical/surgical) located in Canada and the United States.

Patients: The 2,731 adult patients with septic shock listed in their medical records.

Measurements and key findings: Survival to hospital discharge served as the primary outcome indicator. A survival percentage of 79.9% was found when an antibiotic efficacious for isolated or suspected infections was administered within the first hour of verified hypotension. Over the following 6 hours, each hour of antibiotic delivery delay was linked to an average 7.6% decline in survival. When compared to obtaining treatment within the first hour after the beginning of persistent or recurrent hypotension, the in-hospital mortality rate was considerably higher by the second hour (odds ratio 1.67; 95% confidence range, 1.12-2.48). The single best predictor of outcome in multivariate analysis (which included Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score and treatment factors) was time to the start of effective antimicrobial therapy. It took 6 hours on average to start effective antimicrobial therapy (25-75th percentile, 2.0-15.0 hrs).

Conclusions: In adult patients with septic shock, effective antibiotic therapy during the first hour of confirmed hypotension was related with enhanced survival to hospital discharge. Only 50% of patients with septic shock got efficient antimicrobial therapy within 6 hours of being diagnosed with proven hypotension, despite a steady rise in fatality rate with increasing delays.

<h3>What is septic shock?</h3>

Septic shock is a potentially fatal illness that develops after an infection when your blood pressure drops to an unsafely low level. The infection might be brought on by any kind of bacterium.

Ay increase by more than 170% to meet the body's increased o2 demands. this increase in cardiac output increases blood pressure.
Serhud [2]
I believe the increase in blood pressure is limited by the Vasodialtion that causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle.
 Vasodilation causes increase in blood flow due to decrease in vascular resistance. The resistance produced mainly in the arterioles which is known as the systemic vascular resistance or the peripheral vascular resistance. The cardiac output is the function of heart rate and stroke volume and must be always on check.<span />
