How does the size of the soil particles impact the soil's permeability (movement of water)?

Biology

Answer:

Water moves by gravity into the open pore spaces in the soil, and the size of the soil particles and their spacing determines how much water can flow in. Wide pore spacing at the soil surface increases the rate of water infiltration, so coarse soils have a higher infiltration rate than fine soils.

How does soil particle size affect permeability?

But permeability is a different thing. It increases as particle size increases. By definition, permeability is a MEASURE OF EASE with which fluids will flow though a porous rock, soil or sediment. ... That means capillarity increase as particle sizes decreases.

Eyepiece magnification(EM) X Objective magnification (OM)= Overall Magnification:

gregori [183]

Answer:

I. Overall magnification (TM) = x40

II. Overall magnification (TM) = x100

III. Overall magnification (TM) = x400

IV. Overall magnification (TM) = x1000

Explanation:

A microscope can be defined as an optical device that is typically used to make an enlarged (magnified) image of a minute (small) object and as such reveals all the little information about the object that cannot be seen by the natural human eye.

Mathematically, the overall (total) magnification of a microscope is given by the formula;

Overall magnification (TM) = Eyepiece magnification(EM) X Objective magnification (OM).

I. When EM = x10 and OM = x4

TM = EM * OM

TM = x10 * x4

TM = x40

II. When EM = x10 and OM = x10

TM = EM * OM

TM = x10 * x10

TM = x100

III. When EM = x10 and OM = x40

TM = EM * OM

TM = x10 * x40

TM = x400

IV. When EM = x10 and OM = x100

TM = EM * OM

TM = x10 * x100

TM = x1000

Can somebody do 4 and 5 for me

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

4. According to what is observed in the diagram, the maltose (substrate) binds to the maltase (enzyme) to obtain glucose molecules (product), in a process of hydrolysis of the maltose.

5. Three factors that can affect intestinal maltose activity - slowing it down or stopping it - are temperature, pH and substrate depletion.

Explanation:

4. Enzymes, such as maltase, have the function of making a reaction faster and decreasing the activation energy. Maltase is responsible for breaking down a maltose molecule, a dimer, into two glucose monomers, which is a hydrolysis reaction of the bonds that hold glucose molecules together.

5. There are several factors that can cause the decrease or cessation of the activity of an enzyme. Enzymes are activated when substrate is available and work best under ideal temperature and pH conditions. When there are alterations of these factors, the enzyme will reduce or stop the reaction in which it intervenes.

pH: when the pH increases or decreases it produces a decrease in the speed of reaction that catalyzes an enzyme. Very high or low pH levels can denature the enzyme and make the expected reaction not occur.
Temperature: like pH, changes in temperature can slow or stop maltase activity.
Substrate availability: It is a fact that when the specific substrate of an enzyme becomes depleted, the rate of reaction slows down, stopping when no substrate is available.

The dna of a cell is analyzed and found to contain 28 percent thymine. what percent of the dna would by cytosine?

natali 33 [55]

Answer: 22% Cytosine
If Thymine is at 28% and Thymine always pairs with Adenine (another compound that is one of four constituents of nucleic acids, often paired with Thymine in double-stranded DNA), then Adenine is also 28%. The remaining 44% will then be divided between Cytosine and Guanine (another compound) since they also form pairs.
