Arada [10]3 years ago
7 0
The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the environment, with the deposition of radioactive materials in many parts of Europe.

Define maiden mushroom​
Natalija [7]

Answer:Maiden Mushroom

Explanation:

Phallus indusiatus, commonly called the bamboo mushrooms, bamboo pith, long net stinkhorn, crinoline stinkhorn or veiled lady, is a fungus in the family Phallaceae, or stinkhorns. It has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical areas, and is found in southern Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Australia, where it grows in woodlands and gardens in rich soil and well-rotted woody material. The fruit body of the fungus is characterised by a conical to bell-shaped cap on a stalk and a delicate lacy "skirt", or indusium, that hangs from beneath the cap and reaches nearly to the ground. First described scientifically in 1798 by French botanist Étienne Pierre Ventenat, the species has often been referred to a separate genus Dictyophora along with other Phallus species featuring an indusium. P. indusiatus can be distinguished from other similar species by differences in distribution, size, color, and indusium length.

Mature fruit bodies are up to 25 cm (10 in) tall with a conical to bell-shaped cap that is 1.5–4 cm (0.6–1.6 in) wide. The cap is covered with a greenish-brown spore-containing slime, which attracts flies and other insects that eat the spores and disperse them. An edible mushroom featured as an ingredient in Chinese haute cuisine, it is used in stir-frys and chicken soups. The mushroom, grown commercially and commonly sold in Asian markets, is rich in protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. The mushroom also contains various bioactive compounds, and has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Phallus indusiatus has a recorded history of use in Chinese medicine extending back to the 7th century AD, and features in Nigerian folklore.

Which common factor allowed both the Macedonian Empire under Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire to expand?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Correct answer is C: They both created strong centralized forms of government.

Explanation:

Both the Macedonian Empire, which began in truth with Alexander the Great´s father, King Phillip II (359-336), but which grew to become the most powerful in ancient times, thanks to Alexander´s prowess, from 338 till Alexander´s death in 323 B.C., and the Roman Empire, which initiated after the end of the Republic period, and which lasted far longer than any other empire (27 BC to 285 A.D.,) before it fragmented into two empires, The Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople and the Western Roman Empire, with its center based in first Milan and then Ravenna, had a common denominator that defined them and also made them unique; they established a strong and centralized system of government, with the center of government on their capital cities, that allowed them to keep constant control over their conquered lands and keep their power without any division of it. Both Alexander and the Roman emperors maintained full control of their empires in their hands, which eliminated in part the problem of fragmentation due to power struggles between other powerful people aside from themselves. This is why the correct answer is C.
