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.

rise over run

Explanation:

rise refers to the number of units going u or down a graph

run refers to the number of units going left or right

it is seen as so; $\frac{rise}{run}$ , $\frac{ delta y}{deltax}$ , or $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x{1}}$

Don't panic when I included "delta". Delta, it refers/means the small mathematical triangle found beside the rise and run symbols of y and x

Reika [66]

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide in the process of respiration, which is then used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen in photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water. ATP is manufactured as a result of several processes including fermentation, respiration and photosynthesis.
