The answer is: A) They provide a source of energy

We currently generate our electricity by putting magnet on spinning turbine (the faster the turbine rotate, the more electricity that we can generate)

By creating dams, we can control the flow of water in the dam by closing or opening the dams' doors. This flow of water is strong enough to rotate the turbine to generate electricity. This is why we can say that dams provide source of energy.

Importance of plants from an economic, nutritional, environmental and medicinal point of view
Inga [223]

Answer:

Plants are extremely important in the lives of people throughout the world. People depend upon plants to satisfy such basic human needs as food, clothing, shelter, and health care. These needs are growing rapidly because of a growing world population, increasing incomes, and urbanization .

Plants provide food directly, of course, and also feed livestock that is then consumed itself. In addition, plants provide the raw materials for many types of pharmaceuticals, as well as tobacco, coffee, alcohol, and other drugs. The fiber industry depends heavily on the products of cotton, and the lumber products industry relies on wood from a wide variety of trees (wood fuel is used primarily in rural areas). Approximately 2.5 billion people in the world still rely on subsistence farming to satisfy their basic needs, while the rest are tied into increasingly complex production and distribution systems to provide food, fiber, fuel, and other plant-derived commodities .

Medicinal plants have been used in healthcare since time immemorial. Studies have been carried out globally to verify their efficacy and some of the findings have led to the production of plant-based medicines. The global market value of medicinal plant products exceeds $100 billion per annum. This paper discusses the role, contributions and usefulness of medicinal plants in tackling the diseases of public health importance, with particular emphasis on the current strategic approaches to disease prevention. A comparison is drawn between the ‘whole population’ and ‘high-risk’ strategies. The usefulness of the common-factor approach as a method of engaging other health promoters in propagating the ideals of medicinal plants is highlighted.

A jogger in July produces large amounts of sweat. Due to this the kidneys change the rate of urine production. Why is this impor
ivolga24 [154]
When it's hot or when the organism starts sweating a lot, this causes an amount of water to be lost from the body. Water is important for the organism to survive and it's absence wi lead to death, therefore Osmoreceptors cells in the hypothalamus in the brain, sends signals to increase the rate of water re-absorption by the kidney. This causes the urine to be of a low volume and more concentrated. This allows enough water to be used by the body as a lot has been lost during sweating.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Normal, clean rain has a pH value of between 5.0 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic. However, when rain combines with sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides—produced from power plants and automobiles—the rain becomes much more acidic. Typical acid rain has a pH value of 4.0.
