When coming to building something, some materials are more vulnerable to water and can wear away easier. Some can keep the water in, so depending on the material, the water quality can be better sustained.

As compared to gravel, asphalt is an impervious material, thus it allows water to flow over its top without infiltration. In this process the impurities present in the water do not get removed but is gathered and carried away till the maximum concentration point is reached and then removed at later stages. While if there would have been a permeable material like gravel etc, the impurities in water is not discarded but is retained due to infiltration at unwanted locations.

Relate plant structure and function to the process of photosynthesis and respiration​
Dmitry [639]

Answer: Photosynthesis is a process through which green plants prepare their food by using carbon dioxide and water as reactants in the presence of sunlight energy. The food produced in the form of carbohydrate. Respiration is the process in which the biochemical oxidation of the food occurs.

Explanation:

The plant structures like leaves are specialized for performing the process of photosynthesis. These leaves have chlorophyll pigment which traps the light energy from sun which is required for splitting the molecules of water in the process of photosynthesis. Respiration occurs through stomata in leaves. But it also occurs in stems through lenticels and in specialized roots called pneumatophores via tiny pores.

How does DNA replication take place ?
attashe74 [19]

The initiation of DNA replication occurs in two steps. First, a so-called initiator protein unwinds a short stretch of the DNA double helix. Then, a protein known as helicase attaches to and breaks apart the hydrogen bonds between the bases on the DNA strands, thereby pulling apart the two strands.


So yeah xD

The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for sodium is 1,500 mg daily, however, these recommendations do NOT apply to ____. Group of a
monitta

Answer:

highly active individuals who sweat heavily

Explanation:

Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for sodium is stated at 1,500 mg daily for sedentary individuals, men and women under the age of 50, and is adequate for normal functioning of the body, as too much intake for these categories of people might be unhealthy.  

However, highly active individuals who sweat heavily, such as athletes, would need to consume a higher amount above the recommended 1,500 mg for others.Sodium is required for maintaining fluid balance as muscles and neurons need to be activated by Sodium, which is an electrolyte. Highly active people tend to lose more sodium as they sweat profusely, hence the need for a higher intake of sodium to avoid weakening of the muscles and cramps.
