Answer:

Evaporation

Explanation:

  • The process by which water changes its state from liquid to gaseous is known as evaporation.
  • Evaporation is the process that contributes to increased salinity of the ocean.
  • The process of evaporation removes water and hence as the water level decreases due to the rise of water vapor into the atmosphere, more salt is left behind in lesser water, thus increasing the salinity.

Which of the following statements about fluid movement is NOT correct?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

b. Exchange between the plasma and the intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.

Explanation:

The body fluid can be categorized as extracellular and intracellular fluid. The fluid within cells is called intracellular fluid and the body fluid outside body cells makes the extracellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is the extracellular fluid that is present in the narrow spaces between cells of tissues.

On the other hand, the extracellular fluid present within blood vessels is termed blood plasma. Therefore, plasma and intracellular fluid can exchange material via interstitial fluid only, not directly via the cell membrane. The exchange between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.

Explain how the abiotic components in each area determined what type of plants and animals lived there.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Abiotic components of an ecosystem are water, air, light, soil, and temperature.

Now think about how the availability of these things will affect what could live in a specific area.

Consider a desert ecosystem. Deserts are arid, receiving little rain (water) and have extreme temperatures (both cold and hot). Because of these conditions only certain plants and animals can live here. These plants and animals have adaptations that are specific to the environment. If you were to put an organism that does not belong in there, they would most likely die out.

Tidbit for you. The Atacama desert is one of the driest places in the world, located specifically in Chile. At one point, this place did not receive any rain for 500 years! Still plants and animals are able to live in this area. When it finally did rain, the sudden downpour caused a radical change in this ecosystem. You would think at first rain would be good, but no. Because the changes the rain brought was too drastic, it caused a devastating effect on the organisms that lived there because they were not adapted to rain.
