Explain the types of weathering​

Biology
1 answer:
puteri [66]3 years ago
7 0

Definition:

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks at the Earth’s surface, by the action of rainwater, extremes of temperature, and biological activity. It does not involve the removal of rock material.

There are 3 types of weathering:

a)physical

b)chemical

c)biological

•Physical weathering is caused by the effects of changing temperature on rocks, causing the rock to break apart. The process is sometimes assisted by water.

•Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts. These reactions occur particularly when the water is slightly acidic.

•Biological weathering is the weakening and subsequent disintegration of rock by plants, animals and microbes. Growing plant roots can exert stress or pressure on rock.

What is the probability of producing a tall pea plant from a genetic cross between two hybrid tall pea plants?

Hybrid meaning one dominant trait and one recessive trait makes the outcome of breading create a 3/4 chance for the offspring to be tall because of the punnet square.

The study has implications for research in community ecology. Can you define some of the key terms in community ecology
Anestetic [448]

Some of the key terms in community ecology are Intraspecific Interaction, interspecific interaction, competitive exclusion, mutualism.

<h3>What is community ecology?</h3>
  • Community ecology aims to provide solutions to these and other community-related concerns.
  • An ecological community is a collection of organisms that coexist or may coexist in a given area. Communities are connected by a shared environment and a web of relationships between the many species.
  • An ever-expanding and comprehensive area of ecology is community ecology. Ecologists look at the variables that affect species distribution, community structure, and biodiversity. Interactions with the abiotic environment and the wide variety of interactions that take place between species are two examples of these elements.
  • The foundation of the majority of community ecology study is species interactions, such as competition, predation, herbivory, parasitism, and mutualism.

A chemical equation is balanced when each side of the equation includes the same number of each type of atom.
Mariana [72]
<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

A. NO, the equation is NOT balanced.

B. C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ →  6 H₂O + 6 CO₂

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
  • The chemical equation of cellular respiration is given by:  

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ →  6 H₂O + 6 CO₂

Where glucose or sugar is broken down in presence of oxygen in presence of oxygen to yield energy in the form of ATP and water and carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

  • The given chemical equation is not balanced as the number of atoms of each element on reactant side are not equal to those on the product side.  
  • Initially,there are 12 Hydrogen atoms, 18 Oxygen atoms and 6 Carbon atoms on each side.  To balance the equation we put a 6 on carbon dioxide and a 6 on water on the product side.
  • The balanced equation will be;

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ →  6 H₂O + 6 CO₂
