Answer:

B. Minerals in rocks heat and expand at different rates, which causes rocks to break.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process of transformation and wear of rocks and soils, through chemical, physical and biological processes. Its dynamics happens through the action of so-called exogenous or external agents of transformation of relief, such as water, wind, temperature and living beings.

Temperature is a factor that causes the physical wear and tear of rocks through the action of the sun. In this process, the minerals in the rocks heat up and expand at different rates, which causes the rocks to break.

The heat of the Sun reduces the amplitude of the relief as climatic mechanisms cause mechanical and chemical transformations, translated into weathering processes, which form new minerals and break up rocks, and erosion and sedimentation, which sculpt and mold new forms of relief.

What property makes phospholipids ideal building blocks for cell membranes?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The polarity of the phospholipid makes it ideal for a building block of cell membranes.

Explanation:

There is the tails which are hydrophobic (water fearing) and the heads which are hydrophilic (water loving). These properties of phospholipids allow the tails to go towards eachother and heads to face the water which maintains a solid structure allowing certain materials to pass through.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

b or c

Explanation:

The water will move to the section with lower water concentration until it is balanced, however, I don't know which section has the sugar and which has the water. a is wrong because the membrane is semi-permeable, so water can go through, and d is wrong because it is provided the sugar cannot move across the membrane. Hope this helps some :)
