Answer: mechanical weathering

Explanation:

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into small fragments or pieces by agent such as animals,water, wind. Erosion helps in the transport of this materials from its region to another.

Mechanical weathering is also known as physical weathering, it causes rocks to crumble as a results of disaggregation of rocks which could results from cracks, freeze thawing.

Water is an important agent of mechanical weathering, in either liquid or solid form.

Liquid water can seep into cracks and crevices in rock as in the case of Lurray Caverns in Virginia,and rock fragments will be eroded this materials accumulation of this leads to a new formation of calcite. If temperatures drop low enough, the water will freeze creating an expansion in the rock that could results in a crack or fragments of rocks falling off.

How does waste removal in a fetus differ from waste removal after birth?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: A) Fetal waste is removed through the chorion; infant waste is removed through the rectum.

Explanation:

A developing fetus is surrounded by chorion which is an outer membrane. The role of the chorion is to protect the embryo and provide nutrition to it in the form of blood supply. It helps in getting rid of waste products from the developing fetus that goes into the mother blood to remove out of her body. In case of infants the rectum is the last part of the digestive tract and it receives the waste in the form of fecal matter from small intestine which is removed out through the rectum.

If the length of the absolute refractory period in cardiac muscle cells was the same as it is for skeletal muscle cells, _______
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C. tetanic contractions might occur, which would stop the heart's pumping action.

Explanation:

The absolute refractory period of the cardiac muscle action potential refers to the time interval when the voltage gated sodium channels are inactivated. The absolute refractory period lasts ~180 msec. The action potential lasts 200-220 msec.

The refractory period of cardiac muscle is dramatically longer than that of skeletal muscle. This prevents tetanus from occurring and ensures that each contraction is followed by enough time to allow the heart chamber to refill with blood before the next contraction.

In order words, It is important for the cardiac muscle cells to have a longer refractory period, because if they were short like the skeletal muscles, the heart could enter tetanic contraction/summation which is when muscle is stimulated so rapidly that it does not have a chance to relax at all between stimuli.

If a cell was observed under the microscope and found to have a rigid cell wall and be green in color that cell is most likely a
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
If the cell is green, that would mean that it contains the pigment of chlorophyll (suggesting that it is a plant cell). In addition, a rigid cell wall means the cell is part of a stronger structure, so it is likely a plant cell.

An aquarium has a volume of 2.75 cubic meters. How many liters of water can the aquarium hold?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

2,750 liters of water

Explanation:

A cubic meter or 1 m³ is equivalent to 1,000 liters. Knowing this you can covert 2.75 m³ to liters.

2.75 m^{3} \times \dfrac{1,000L}{1m^{3}}= 2.75 \times 1,000L = 2,750 L

Just remember if you're using this method that always put the value with the unit that you want to convert as the denominator so you can cancel them out.
