Answer:
Water lowers the strength and cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil.
Explanation:
Water can seep into the soil or clay-rich regolith and replace the air in the pore space of the soil or regolith. Water will completely surrounds all the grains of the clay-rich regolith and breaks the bonds in between the grains, that is eliminating all grain to grain contact of the regolith. When the regolith becomes saturated with water, the angle of repose is reduced to very small values and the regolith tends to loose its form.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
Why can a signaling molecule cause different responses in different cells? Different cells have membrane receptors that bind to different sides of the signaling molecule. The transduction process is unique to each cell type; to respond to a signal, different cells require only a similar membrane receptor
Answer:
Final temperature: 659.8ºC
Expansion work: 3*75=225 kJ
Internal energy change: 275 kJ
Explanation:
First, considering both initial and final states, write the energy balance:
Q is the only variable known. To determine the work, it is possible to consider the reversible process; the work done on a expansion reversible process may be calculated as:
The pressure is constant, so: 
(There is a multiplication by 100 due to the conversion of bar to kPa)
So, the internal energy change may be calculated from the energy balance (don't forget to multiply by the mass):
On the other hand, due to the low pressure the ideal gas law may be appropriate. The ideal gas law is written for both states:
Subtracting the first from the second:
Isolating 
:
Assuming that it is water steam, n=0.1666 kmol

The matter that has the same composition and properties throughout is called pure chemical substance. So the answer is substance.
