To improve flexibility, stretching exercises are most productive when they are performed ________.

Biology

Stretching exercises are most productive when done after the workout or exercise to improve flexibility. 

During workout or exercise, lactic acid builds up in a person's muscles, giving that feeling of soreness and fatigue. The muscles can stay in this "semi-contracted" state for hours. Stretching after exercise helps to reduce this soreness by increasing blood circulation, helping the muscles to recover faster. 

In addition, consistently working out and exercising may increase the growth of muscles but the connective tissue (fascia) does not grow as fast together with the muscle. This means that little by little, the muscles will eventually become compressed by the fascia as they continue to grow despite the slow rate of expansion of the fascia. Stretching can help expand the fascia to allow for more room for muscle growth, without negatively affecting a person's flexibility.

For which of the following problems would a crop rotation of various grains and legumes be an appropriate solution?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

I and III only

Explanation:

Crop rotation is a farm practice that involves cultivating different species of crops on the same land at different seasons. In other words, the different crops are rotated. Crop rotation is done for various reasons including; improvement of soil fertility, pest and disease control etc.

In this case, a crop rotation of various grains and legumes would be an appropriate solution for the following problems:

- The nutrients in the soil on a farm are being depleted: Legumes are known to be rich in nitrogen and hence add nitrogen to the soil due to the nitrogen-fixing microbes in their roots. Hence, rotating between grains and legumes can help return the depleted nutrients (by grains) to the soil.

- A particular kind of pest is infesting the soil on a farm: Most pests are usually crop-specific, hence, planting only one type of crop can make that soil be infested with a particular kind of pest. However, rotating between crops such as grains and legumes can make a particular pests become scarce or less populated.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

chemical change.

Explanation:

There are two types of changes in matter: physical change and chemical change.

physical change- it is a change in matter that alters only its physical properties or its physical appearance. This type of change is reversible. For example- freezing of water, the water turns into solid ice and it can be reversed by melting the ice.

chemical change- it is a change in matter that alter its chemical and thus its physical properties. Most chemical changes are irreversible. for example- burning of paper, results in black soot and ashes- Thus changing both physical and chemical properties.
