What are the two main forces that cause soil erosion?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

deserts

Desert biomes are the driest of all the biomes. In fact, the most important characteristic of a desert is that it receives very little rainfall. Most deserts receive less than 300 mm a year compared to rainforests, which receive over 2,000 mm.

A) Compare and contrast diffusion, passive transport (diffusion & facilitated), primary active transport and secondary activ

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Passive transport: It does not need any energy to occur. Happens in favor of an electrochemical gradient. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are kinds of passive transport.

Simple diffusion: molecules freely moves through the membrane.

Facilitated diffusion: molecules are carried through the membrane by channel proteins or carrier proteins.

Active transport needs energy, which can be taken from the ATP molecule (Primary active transport) or from a membrane electrical potential (Secondary active transport).

Explanation:

Diffusion: This is a pathway for some small polar hydrophilic molecules that can freely move through the membrane. Membrane´s permeability depends on the size of the molecule, the bigger the molecule is, the less capacity to cross the membrane it has. Diffusion is a very slow process and to be efficient requires short distances and pronounced concentration gradients. An example of diffusion is osmosis where water is the transported molecule.

Facilitated diffusion: Refers to the transport of hydrophilic molecules that are not able to freely cross the membrane. Channel protein and many carrier proteins are in charge of this passive transport. If uncharged molecules need to be carried this process depends on concentration gradients and molecules are transported from a higher concentration side to a lower concentration side. If ions need to be transported this process depends on an electrochemical gradient. The glucose is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion.

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are passive transport processes because the cell does not need any energy to make it happen.

Active transport occurs against the electrochemical gradient, so it does need energy to happen. Molecules go from a high concentration side to a lower concentration side. This process is always in charge of carrier proteins. In primary active transport the energy needed comes from the ATP molecule. An example of primary active transport is the Na-K bomb. In secondary active transport, the energy comes from the membrane electric potential. Examples of secondary active transport are the carriage of Na, K, Mg metallic ions.

What is the AIDS Memorial Quilt is an example of? a. Surrealist art b. Community art making c. Art made in a workshop d. Shamani

Westkost [7]

Answer:

b. Community art making

Explanation:

The AIDS Memorial quilt ia a very large and enormous memorial which celebrates the lives of the people who became victim to AIDS and died due to causes related to AIDS. It is the largest portion of the community folk art.

As the community art making is defined as the method of art-making involving the professional artists and the communities which are self defined through the collaberative artistic expression.

Hence option B ) Community art making is the right option.

What is the role of camouflage in prey and predator

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. Organisms use camouflage to mask their location, identity, and movement. This allows prey to avoid predators, and for predators to sneak up on prey.

Eukaryotic cells are able to trigger the release of material from secretory vesicles to the extracellular space using a process

frozen [14]

Answer:

hormones

Explanation:

An example of materials commonly released this way is hormones. These are chemical messengers that are sent to the pituitary gland where they are released directly into the bloodstream. The blood then carries the hormones to different organs and tissues of the body in order to exert their specific function which varies depending on the specific type of hormones being secreted.
