Vitamin D can be obtained from vitamin D rich foods and the sun.

Deficiency can cause diseases like rickets in children and bone related issues in adults.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Vitamin D is also called as "the sunshine vitamin". It is called so because the sun is one of the most important sources of Vitamin D.
The skin of the human body has a cholesterol type, which becomes vitamin D once the skin is exposed to the sun, the UV-B radiation of the sun.
Vitamin D can also be obtained from vitamin D rich foods like fatty fish, some dairy products, egg yolk, beef liver, cheese, etc.
If people do not get enough vitamin D or if they have deficiency, it can reduce the density of the bones and lead to many issues like fractures. It can also cause diseases like rickets in children. It is one of the rare diseases that cause bones to be soft.

Explain how human activities can cause an imbalance in biogeochemical cycling and lead

Elza [17]

Human activites have greatly increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and nitrogen levels in the biosphere. Altered Altered biogeochemical cycle combined with climate change increase the vulnerability of biodiversity, food security, human health, and water quality to a changing climate.

How do sediment deposits affect waterwats

makvit [3.9K]

<span>The deposition of heavy sediment can significantly diminish the water quality and aquatic habitat. The sentiment in the water can reduce the sunlight that reaches the floor of the waterway, affecting animal and plant life. For example, photosynthesis may be less effective due to the decreased sunlight and the gills of fish may get clogged from the sediment.</span>

Describe the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm. which of these structures are you likely to find in a prokaryotic

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

you can see below

Explanation:

Basic Definitions:

Cell Membrane = the semi-permeable structure that surrounds the cell and keeps all of the cells organelles from exploding everywhere.

Cell Wall = the rigid 'armor' of the cell that surrounds it after the membrane. Usually made up of cellulose and ONLY found in plant cells.

Nucleus = A really dense organelle of the cell usually surrounded by two membranes. They contain and protect your genetic material. Basically everything that makes you, you.

Cytoplasm = The watery, salty, and protein filled 'soup' that fills the cell. All organelles float happily in this.

Now Specific Locations:

Eukaryotic cells

have plasma membranes

please mark me brainliest or mark me thanks at leat

only have cell walls if the cells are plants.

They do have a nucleus.

They have cytoplasm

Prokaryotic cells

have plasma membranes

cell walls are usually chemically complexed.

don't have a nucleus

have cytoplasm

Animal cells

only have the plasma membranes.

No cell wall

have a nucleus

have cytoplasm

Plant cells

have both the cell wall

and have a plasma membrane

have a nucleus

have cytoplasm
