Answer:
1. In ecology and Earth science, a biogeochemical cycle or substance turnover or cycling of substances is a pathway by which a chemical substance moves through biotic and abiotic compartments of Earth.
2. The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Rising vapor cools and condenses into clouds.
3. Heated by sunshine, the ground heats the air just above it. That warmed air starts to rise because, when warm, it is lighter and less dense than the air around it. As it rises, its pressure and temperature drop causing water vapor to condense. ... The air cools as it rises, and eventually clouds form.

Answer:
Sensory Adaption
Explanation:
Stimuli, both external and internal, are sensed with the help of sensory receptors. These sensory receptors sense the change in internal or external conditions called stimuli and send the information to the central nervous system. The sensory information is processed and interpreted in the central nervous system which in turn makes a person aware of the sensed stimuli.
However, the constant presence of the same stimulus does not trigger the firing of the action potential as it occurred during the first few encounters. This is called sensory adaption. For example, chirping of birds is apparent when a person enters the countryside but becomes less apparent after a few days due to sensory adaption of ears.
Answer:
There are no options in this question, the options are as follows:
A. Antibiotics build up immunity, and antivirals increase white blood cells.
B. Antibiotics treat the symptoms, and antivirals destroy the causing organism.
C. Antibiotics are in liquid form, and antivirals are in mist form.
D. Antibiotics treat patients who have Staphylococcus, and antivirals treat patients who have the flu.
The answer is D
Explanation:
Specific drugs are used to curb infection or diseases caused by specific pathogens. An infection can be caused by either bacteria, virus or fungi. Considering their different mechanism of infection, viral infections are treated with the use of ANTIVIRAL DRUGS while bacterial infections are treated with the use of ANTIBIOTICS.
According to this question, staphylococcus is a bacterial genus and hence, patients with staphylococcus can be treated with antibiotics while flu is a viral disease, hence can only be treated with antivirals.
Answer:
crossing over, process in genetics by which the two chromosomes of a homologous pair exchange equal segments with each other. Crossing over occurs in the first division of meiosis . At that stage each chromosome has replicated into two strands called sister chromatids. The two homologous chromosomes of a pair synapse, or come together. While the chromosomes are synapsed, breaks occur at corresponding points in two of the non-sister chromatids, i.e., in one chromatid of each chromosome. Since the chromosomes are homologous, breaks at corresponding points mean that the segments that are broken off contain corresponding genes , i.e., alleles. The broken sections are then exchanged between the chromosomes to form complete new units, and each new recombined chromosome of the pair can go to a different daughter sex cell. Crossing over results in recombination of genes found on the same chromosome, called linked genes, that would otherwise always be transmitted together. Because the frequency of crossing over between any two linked genes is proportional to the chromosomal distance between them, crossing over frequencies are used to construct genetic, or linkage, maps of genes on chromosomes. Mutations , temperature changes, and radiation all affect crossing over frequency. Under the microscope, a crossover has the appearance of an X and is called a chiasma.
