Answer and Explanation:

The Tonle Sap lake serves as a "safety-valve" overflow basin for flooding. It is located in Camboya. Its extension varies according to the season. The lake might occupy 2500 km² during the dry season but can reach up to 16000 km² during the wet season.

The Tonle Sap lake is fed by numerous rivers from different latitudes and altitudes, and it is tributary of the Sap river that flows towards the southeast and joins the Mekong river, conforming together the Basac river.

The Tonle Sap river is reversible, also according to the season. When the Monzon rains enhance the Mekong river´s level, the curse of water of the Tonle Sap river inverts flowing towards back the northeast. The Tonle Sap river stops providing water to the Mekong and begins to provide water to the Tonle Sap Lake. This last one sharply elevates its level.

Once the wet season is over, the Tonle Sap river redirects its water back to its original direction.

The Tonle Sap lake acts as a regulator of the Mekong Lake´s course.

This lake is very rich in resources, especially fishes that live in these waters, and are the feeding source of most Vietnamese.

Based on your knowledge of how the greenhouse effect works, why does the level carbon dioxide affect the global temperature?

miv72 [106K]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere prevents long wave radiation from leaving the earth and in the process, it raises global temperatures.

Greenhouse gases helps to maintain the fair balance in temperature on the earth surface.
They keep the temperature of the earth in balance by preventing it from losing all of the heat it gains.
Radiation from the sun reaches the surface as short wave radiations.
When they get absorbed and re-emitted, they produce long wave thermal radiations.
In the atmosphere, the radiations are cut off and causes warming due to their interaction with greenhouse gasses there
When the amount of these gases in the atmosphere become more than normal, more heat becomes trapped.
This leads to an anomalously high surface temperature on earth.

Which of the following has the fewest taste receptors?

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

filiform papillae

Explanation:

The filiform papillae, also called conical papillae, are sensory receptors distributed on two thirds of the lingual dorsum. They are the most abundant papillae on the surface of the tongue and are not associated with taste reception because they have the smallest number of taste receptors.

These papillae are arranged fairly evenly in rows parallel to the central groove of the tongue, especially in the center and back. These papillae are made up of connective tissue and an epithelium that expresses keratin, a protein present in people's skin, hair and nails.
