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.

If a woman starts ovulating at 13 and stops at 50; a) how many ova are likely to be released from her ovaries? b) about how many
muminat
<h2>Ovulation</h2>

Explanation:

Women are born with approximately one to two million ova while female fetuses actually have far more egg cells when they are in the mother’s womb—sometimes as many as six or seven million eggs

  • When egg cells are immature they are referred to as oocytes
  • By the time a woman reaches puberty, there are only a small fraction of oocytes left—usually about 300,000
  • During the reproductive lifespan, only about 500 of a woman’s eggs are ovulated
  • The remaining eggs that are left behind die out during menopause
  • Egg death is a natural part of the cycle of the female reproductive system so prior to menopause, women typically lose a thousand or so eggs every month

Compare the gill arches in marine vertebrates with the ribs in terrestrial vertebrates.
Serjik [45]
<span>In marine vertebrates, the gill arches use the external gas exchange. The water holds less oxygen.

 The ribs in terrestrial vertebrates have enclosed respiratory surface which is inside the body and comes as paired lungs.

Kidneys are efficient in excretion of regulation of water and nitrogenous wastes. Their reproduction is normally sexual with separate sexes.</span>

Why don't the spontaneous deleterious mutations that occur in an individual
Neko [114]

Answer:

Please see below  

Explanation:

The reason behind this is the phenomenon of natural selection. The deleterious mutations do not provide a survival advantage so they are selected against, which results in these type of mutations to not be passed on - rather, they eventually get eliminated from the population.

lant cells can synthesize energy-rich organic molecules, and later break them down to extract that energy for performing life pr
lesya [120]

Answer:

Two processes were described in this question, hence, the location of the two processes are as follows:

synthesize energy-rich organic molecules- CHLOROPLAST

Break them down to extract energy- MITOCHONDRIA

Explanation:

Plant cells are unique cells capable of synthesizing their own food via a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. The process of photosynthesis, which occurs in an organnelle called CHLOROPLAST, synthesizes a sugar (glucose), which is an energy-rich organic molecules i.e. it stores energy in its chemical bonds.

However, to harness the usable form of energy stored in the chemical bonds of Glucose, the cells need to break down the glucose molecule. Plant cells break down glucose in a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION in order to convert the stored energy in Glucose to a usable form called ATP. This extraction of ATP molecule needed for every life process of the plant cell is carried out in another organnelle called MITOCHONDRION.
