Erosion _________ when the amount of vegetation _________.

Biology
1 answer:
Lera25 [3.4K]4 years ago

None of the above.

Erosion is more likely to increase when the amount of vegetation decreases.  The potential for soil erosion increases if the soil has no or very little vegetative cover of plants.

Plants and their residue form a cover that protects the soil from direct raindrop impact and splash, tending to slow down movement of runoff water and allows excess surface water to infiltrate, preventing erosion by water.

Plants root systems tend also to anchor top soil in place such that  it is firm and  cannot be easily blown away by wind thus preventing erosion by wind.

Which of the following statements about NADPH and/or NADH is not true? Choose one:
inn [45]

Answer:

NADPH is an activated carrier molecule that is used primarily by plants (NOT TRUE)

Explanation:

NADPH is indeed an electron carrier molecule that participates in various metabolic (anabolic) reactions carried out by plants, but it also participates actively in metabolic (anabolic) reactions carried out in animal tissues, this means that it is used by the cells of the human body as well.

A very important metabolic process in which the NADPH is produced is during the glucose 6-phosphate oxidation into phosphate pentoses through the pentose phosphate pathway. In this process NADP+ is the main electron acceptor, so when it is reduced it produces NADPH. <u>This NADPH is very important for the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and various steroid hormones.</u>

lana [24]

Answer: Discriminative stimulus

Explanation:

A discriminative stimulus is associated with reinforcement or punishment, that exerts control over a particular form of behavior. The subject discriminates between closely related stimuli and elicits a specific behavior only in the presence of that stimulus. T<u>his stimulus increases the probability of a given response</u> because of their historical correlation with the availability of reinforcement for the response.

In this example, the hungry rat gets food if it presses a bar only when the light is on. The rat learns that is most likely to request this food in the future in the presence of this light, because historically, the request has been reinforced in the presence of this light. <u>The light in the example became a discriminative stimulus and it evokes the response.</u>

What would happen if the members of one homologous pair did not segregate to opposite poles, but instead both went to the same p
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Daughter cells with abnormal number of chromosomes will be produced (aneuploidy)

Explanation:

Ideally, homologous pair of chromosomes are meant to separate into opposite poles during the anaphase I stage of meiosis. However, a failure to separate, a process called MEIOTIC NON-DISJUNCTION, will cause some daughter cells to have more than the required/normal chromosome number while some daughter cells will have less than the normal or no chromosome.

This abnormality in chromosome number caused by failure of chromosome to separate is called ANEUPLOIDY. In a nutshell, when this occurs, the daughter cells will possess abnormalities in chromosome number i.e trisomy, monosomy etc.
