Answer:

1. They have to be able to reproduce, either asexually or sexually.

2. They have to be able to respond to stimuli.

3. They have to have cells, either as a unicellular organism or as a multicellular organism.

4. They have to grow and develop.

5. They have to have homeostasis. This means that they can maintain their own body temperature. Think of this as a thermometer for the body.

6. The last thing is that all living things also have to be able to do is move.

Describe how water goes through the hydrologic cycle, starting and ending with ocean water.
Lady bird [3.3K]

<span>Evaporation of warm surface water increases the amount of moisture in the colder, drier air flowing immediately above the lake surface. With continued evaporation, water vapor in the cold air condenses to form ice-crystal clouds, which are transported toward shore.</span>

By the time these clouds reach the shoreline, they are filled with snowflakes too large to remain suspended in the air and consequently, they fall along the shoreline as precipitation. The intensity of lake effect snowfall can be enhanced by additional lifting due to the topographical features (hills) along the shoreline. Once the snow begins to melt, the water is either absorbed by the ground and becomes groundwater, or goes returns back to the lake as runoff.

Lake effect snow events can produce tremendous amounts of snow. One such event was the Cleveland, Ohio Veteran's Day Snowstorm from November of 1996, where local storm snowfall totals exceeded 50 inches over two to three days.

<span>A Summary of the Hydrologic Cyclebringing all the pieces together<span> 
<span>Animation by: Bramer</span></span>The hydrologic cycle begins with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and water vapor condenses to form clouds. Moisture is transportedaround the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation. Once the water reaches the ground, one of two processes may occur; 1) some of the water may evaporate back into the atmosphere or 2) the water may penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans, rivers, and streams, or is released back into the atmosphere through transpiration. The balance of water that remains on the earth's surface is runoff, which empties into lakes, rivers and streams and is carried back to the oceans, where the cycle begins again.Lake effect snowfall is good example of the hydrologic cycle at work. Below is a vertical cross-section summarizing the processes of the hydrologic cycle that contribute to the production of lake effect snow. The cycle begins as cold winds (horizontal blue arrows) blow across a large lake, a phenomena that occurs frequently in the late fall and winter months around the Great Lakes.</span>

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:TRUE

Explanation: Increased muscular Strength develops from increased Physical and aerobic exercise and activities,it has been established that physical activities like running, swimming,jogging, skating etc all have impact in Building one musculoskeletal Strength and it also helps to improve aerobic respiration which in turn will help to burn all excess FATS and CHOLESTEROL levels which has been attributed to major chronic health conditions,CANCER,HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HYPERTENSION etc.

Which part of the brain is responsible for autonomic functions such as ventilation, cardiac conduction, and vomiting?
romanna [79]

Medulla oblongata, the lowest part of the brain, is responsible for autonomic functions like ventilation, cardiac conduction, and vomiting.

The brain is a very complex organ that controls about every function of the body. It has three main sections:

1. Midbrain

2. Pons

3. Medulla oblongata or Medulla

The medulla oblongata is situated at the lowest portion of the brain. It connects to the pons on the upper side and the spinal cord on the posterior side. It is primarily responsible for controlling some autonomic functions, some of which are essential for human survival, such as ventilation ( pons work together with the medulla and produce rhythms for respiration) and cardiac function. Other functions involve controlling sneezing, hormonal balance, etc.

To know more about medulla oblongata, refer to the following link:
