Biology

avanturin [10]3 years ago

Evaporation, condensation, precipitation are all part of the water cycle. After the precipitation, the “destiny” of the water is ground water or surface runoff.

Groundwater is the term for all the waters beneath Earth’s surface, that fills in porous spaces in soil, sediment, and rocks. But, when falling rain cannot be absorbed by soil (saturated by water) and become groundwater, it flows over the surface and this is called surface runoff. Groundwater has its zones: vadose zone (right beneath the ground, unsaturated zone), water table (water pressure head is equal to the atmospheric pressure), zone of saturation (saturated with water).

A watershed is the land area that drains into a body of water.

Nuclear energy use can negatively impact water quality. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
MAXImum [283]

The statement is - True.

The production of the nuclear energy by the nuclear reactors requires lot of water. The water's role is to constantly keep cool the reactors because if they overheat there can be a disaster of big proportions.

Because of the heating up of the water the water changes its properties slightly. Those changes have big environmental impact, easily seen in the local flora and fauna in close proximity to the nuclear reactors. There is way to big of a percentage of bad mutations among the flora and fauna where the water is released from the nuclear reactors, where very often there's animals with either more or less extremities, two heads, weird growth and shape of the plants etc.

When the cardiac muscle cell is at rest, the concentration of _____________ is greater on the outside of the cell?
nordsb [41]

When the cardiac muscle cell is at rest, the concentration of sodium and calcium is greater on the outside of the cell.

The resting membrane potential (the cardiac muscle cell is at rest) is characterized by more negatively charged inside of the membrane comparing to the outside. The main ions found outside the cell at rest are: sodium (Na+), and chloride (Cl−), and Ca2+ whereas inside the cell it is mainly potassium (K+).

Mercury is one of the densest planets in the Solar System. Venus is the brightest object we see in the sky, has a thick toxic atmosphere and is the hottest planet. Earth is the only planet that has liquid water.Mars surface contains iron-rich materials and has the most interesting terrain: the surface is very old and filled with craters.
