Which optical phenomena are formed by cloud droplets?

Biology

Answer:

Cloud iridescence

Sunlight travels through the cloud and is diffracted by the droplets, creating the rainbow effect. It can appear as a patch or band at the cloud's edges and changes as the cloud evolves.

Answer:

Cloud iridescence

Sunlight travels through the cloud and is diffracted — or spread out — by the droplets, creating the rainbow effect. It can appear as a patch or band at the cloud's edges and changes as the cloud evolves. Iridescence is mostly seen when part of a cloud is forming and when it is closer to the sun.May 11, 2018

A poisonous substance enters the food chain through the soul. This substance doesn't break down in the bodies of living organism
Alecsey [184]

Explanation:

Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, is any concentration of a toxin, such as pesticides, in the tissues of tolerant organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain.[1] This increase can occur as a result of:

Persistence – where the substance cannot be broken down by environmental processes

Food chain energetics – where the substance's concentration increases progressively as it moves up a food chain

Low or non-existent rate of internal degradation or excretion of the substance – mainly due to water-insolubility

In biomagnification the concentration of the persistent toxins (crosses) increases higher up the food chain.

In this scenario, a pond has been intoxicated. As we go further into the food chain, the toxin concentration increases, causing the top consumer to eventually die of intoxication.

Biomagnification is the build up of toxins in a food chain. The DDT concentration is in parts per million. As the trophic level increases in a food chain, the amount of toxic build up increases. The x's represent the amount of toxic build up accumulating as the trophic level increases. Toxins build up in organism's fat and tissue. Predators accumulate higher toxins than prey.

Biological magnification often refers to the process whereby certain substances such as pesticides or heavy metals work their way into lakes, rivers and the ocean, and then move up the food chain in progressively greater concentrations as they are incorporated into the diet of aquatic organisms such as zooplankton, which in turn are eaten perhaps by fish, which then may be eaten by bigger fish, large birds, animals, or humans. The substances become increasingly concentrated in tissues or internal organs as they move up the chain. Bioaccumulants are substances that increase in concentration in living organisms as they take in contaminated air, water, or food because the substances are very slowly metabolized or excreted.

Processes Edit

Although sometimes used interchangeably with "bioaccumulation", an important distinction is drawn between the two, and with bioconcentration.

Bioaccumulation occurs within a trophic level, and is the increase in the concentration of a substance in certain tissues of organisms' bodies due to absorption from food and the environment.

Bioconcentration is defined as occurring when uptake from the water is greater than excretion.[2]

Thus, bioconcentration and bioaccumulation occur within an organism, and biomagnification occurs across trophic (food chain) levels.

Biodilution is also a process that occurs to all trophic levels in an aquatic environment; it is the opposite of biomagnification, thus when a pollutant gets smaller in concentration as it progresses up a food web.

Lipid, (lipophilic) or fat soluble substances cannot be diluted, broken down, or excreted in urine, a water-based medium, and so accumulate in fatty tissues of an organism, if the organism lacks enzymes to degrade them. When eaten by another organism, fats are absorbed in the gut, carrying the substance, which then accumulates in the fats of the predator. Since at each level of the food chain there is a lot of energy loss, a predator must consume many prey, including all of their lipophilic substances.

For example, though mercury is only present in small amounts in seawater, it is absorbed by algae (generally as methylmercury). Methyl-mercury is the most harmful variation of mercury. It is efficiently absorbed, but only very slowly excreted by organisms.[3] Bioaccumulation and bioconcentration result in buildup in the adipose tissue of successive trophic levels: zooplankton, small nekton, larger fish, etc. Anything which eats these fish also consumes the higher level of mercury the fish have accumulated. This process explains why predatory fish such as swordfish and sharks or birds like osprey and eagles have higher concentrations of mercury in their tissue than could be accounted for by direct exposure alone. For example, herring contains mercury at approximately 0.01 parts per million (ppm) and shark contains mercury at greater than 1 ppm.[4]

DDT is thought to biomagnify and biomagnification is one of the most significant reasons it was deemed harmful to the environment by the EPA and other organizations. DDT is stored in the fat of animals and takes many years to break down, and as the fat is consumed by predators, the amounts of DDT biomagnify. DDT is now a banned substance in many parts of the world.[5]

hjlf
The answer would be used batteries. You would be able to recycle the vegetable waste within fertilizing and/or throw it away safely by disposing it in a trashcan since it is not a hazard towards the environment. As for aluminum cans, they are recyclable and are easy to use again once it is filtered through the system. However, batteries are NOT recyclable nor easy to dispose because they can release Alkaline which can harm the environment.

How does nerve impulses travel from one neuron to another?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

(d) Electrical-->Chemical-->Electrical

Explanation:

A nerve impulse is the transmission of an electrical change along the neuron's membrane from the point at which it is stimulated (synapse). The normal direction of impulse in the body is from the cell body to the axon. This nerve impulse, or action potential, is a sudden and rapid change in the transmembrane potential difference.

Normally, the membrane of the neuron is polarized at rest, which means that the ionic constitution of the medium internal to the membrane is different from the external medium, which generates different electrical charges in one medium and the other, so this difference, ie , the potential during rest is negative (-70 mV). The action potential thus consists of a rapid reduction of membrane negativity to 0mV and inversion of this potential to about + 30mV, followed by a rapid return to values slightly more negative than the resting potential of -70mV.

Nervous impulse or action potential, therefore, is a phenomenon of an electrochemical nature and occurs due to changes in the permeability of the neuron membrane. These permeability modifications allow ions to pass across the membrane. Since ions are electrically charged particles, changes also occur in the electric field generated by these charges.

Thus, we can say that the correct answer to this question is: Electrical -> Chemistry -> Electrical
