Answer: Porosity

Explanation: Porosity is the ratio of volume of pores to the total volume of soil. This ratio varies between 0 and 1, or  between 0% and 100% as a percentage.

Porosity=\frac{\text {volume of pores}}{\text {Total volume}}\times 100\%

Porosity is also called as void fraction and  is a measure of the empty spaces present in a material. Thus a porous soil will have more amount of  air and less porous soil will have less amount of  air.

A porous soil is made from coarse particles that leave large gaps known as pores.

Answer:

share a common ancestor

Explanation:

<em>The similarity in their embryos and embryonic development suggests that reptiles, birds, and mammals share the same ancestor.</em>

Similarity in the structure and development of embryo is one of the evidences that is been used by scientists to support the theory of evolution of species. According to the theory of organic evolution, all organisms are on earth as a result of descent with modifications from common ancestors.

<u>Reptiles, birds, and mammals are all vertebrates. They share some basic characteristics and are thought to have shared a common ancestor before each group took different adaptive channels leading to their  differences as they currently exist.</u>

The lysosome functions in a cell like the _______ does in our bodies.
Troyanec [42]
Lysosomes remove waste at a cellular level.
They contain digestive enzymes, so they're like the digestive system.
The stomach digests food, so lysosomes could be considered like the stomach.
But then again, so do the intestines, small and large.
Since the stomach doesn't also work to remove waste though, I'd say the answer is probably large intestine, which finishes the digestive process and removes waste material.

BigorU [14]
Various clinical signs are seen by individuals affected by the disease. A number of options are possible for controlling this disease-causing fungus, though none has proved to be feasible on a large scale. The disease has been proposed as a contributing factor to a global decline in amphibian populations that apparently has affected about 30% of the amphibian species of the world.<span>[3]</span>
