Answer: Endocrine

A chemical signal produced in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain binds to a receptor on liver cells. This signal would be classified as an endocrine signal.

Explanation:

An endocrine signal is produced by a cell that targets a distant cell through the bloodstream.

Hence, a endocrine signal (carried by hormones) produced at the base of the brain (usually an endocrine gland) travels through the bloodstream to the target cell and binds to a receptor on the liver, and then exerts its function.

Which include the male and female sex cells
KiRa [710]
  <span>Males and females are attracted to each other in order to ensure the viability and fertility of the offspring, which is also why it is uncommon that males of one species be attracted to females of another. Members of two different species cannot mate and thus cannot produce fertile, viable offspring, unless they are part of different sub-species. But they must be part of the same species.

Write a 225 word report on why each of the factors (R, K, L, S, C, and P) are important factors needed to determine the amount o
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,

K - soil erodibility factor

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient

C- the cover and management factor

P - the erosion control practice factor

Explanation:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -  

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,  which depends on geographic location. The greater is the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the higher will bethe erosion potential.  

K - soil erodibility factor,  K signifies the soil loss in tonnes/hectare (tons/acre) for any agricultural land that is cultivated and has a slope length (assumed) of 22.13 meters and slope steepness of 9%. K represents the susceptibility of a soil particle to be easily detached from the surface and carried away by rainfall and runoff. The greater is the value of K , the greater is the erodibility of the soil particles.

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope lengths is greater than an assumed slope length of 22.13 meters. The longer the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.  

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope steepness is greater than an assumed slope steepness of 9%. The steeper the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.

C- the cover and management factor, It states how effective soil and crop management systems is in terms of preventing soil loss. It is a ratio of soil loss from land under a specific crop and management system to corresponding loss from continuously fallow and tilled land. The higher the C value, the lower is the management process quality to prevent soil erosion

P - the erosion control practice factor,  It represents the after effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion by reducing the amount and rate of the water runoff. The lower the P value, the better is the effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion
