Some human activities that affect watersheds is Building dams and rerouting rivers are two examples of ways humans directly impact water in watersheds. Humans also use water as a resource, drawing from watersheds for our drinking water. This does not have to be a negative impact, as water usage can be monitored so that it is sustainable. Then on the other hand the natural factors the affect the health of a watershed is the quality and quantity of water in streams, rivers or lakes are dependent on its watershed. Another thing is The physical characteristics of a watershed, including geology, soil types, vegetation, topography and slope, also influence water- shed water quality. creek, stream or river to determine aquatic health.

I hope this helps.

In Photosystem II, an excited electron helps pump hydrogen into the thylakoid. What are the hydrogen ions used for? Explain how

Darya [45]

After the special pair gives up its electron, it has a positive charge and needs a new electron. This electron is provided through the splitting of water molecules, a process carried out by a portion of PSII called the manganese center^9 . The positively charged P680 can pull electrons off of water (which doesn't give them up easily) because it's extremely "electron-hungry."

What is the slope of the line? please help.

muminat

Answer:

The slope is $\frac{4}{3}$ .

Explanation:
Slope is $\frac{y}{x}$ , and to find it we need to look for where the line directly ends on the corner of the graph square. One occurs at (3,4), but the reason the slope is 4/3 and not 3/4 is because it is y over x. The y coordinate lines up at 4 and the x lines up at 3 getting you your answer of $\frac{4}{3}$ . I hope this helps! :) Sorry if this makes no sense- but the answer is 4/3.
