Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity

Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity

Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity

Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity

Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity

A population of deer includes deer with white spots and deer with brown spots. A forest fire kills half the deer with white spot
Kaylis [27]
This should be an example of genetic drift.

The brown spotted deer would spread their genes more than the white spotted ones which would eventually lead to them completely overpowering genetically the white deer in future generations.

Why would too much salt intake cause someone to develop high blood pressure?
aleksandrvk [35]

The right answer is A) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids to enter the blood from surrounding cells, due to osmosis.

The circulatory system of the body is a highly flexible vascular system, which has the ability to open and distend new capillaries and veins in order to cope with an increase in fluid volume.

The term "Higher blood pressure" implies that an excess of salt leads to the retention of additional fluid within the arterial circulatory system, which would cause an increase in blood volume and add pressure to the walls. arteries.
