How does deforestation speed up the process of erosion?

Biology
1 answer:
Tpy6a [65]3 years ago
6 0
Deforestation speeds up the process of soil erosion because trees are vital in keeping soil intact. The roots of trees help prevent soil erosion because they absorb the water in soil. If there are no trees to absorb the water, flooding can happen more. In turn, flooding can cause the soil to weaken and this can cause landslides and other natural disasters.

Ras is a GTP-binding protein involved in cell proliferation (division). In its active form, with GTP bound, Ras activates cell s
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

E. They decrease the rate at which Ras hydrolyzes GTP.

Explanation:

Activated Ras has GTP bound to it, this propagates an intracellular signal to the nucleus where cell proliferation is induced. Thereafter proliferation is switched off by the hydrolysis of the bound GTP to GDP.

Therefore decreasing the rate of GTP hydrolysis causes Ras to remain active, ultimately leading to uncontrollable proliferation characteristic of cancer.

A student used poster board to construct this model of DNA.Which statement describes this model of DNA?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The model is inaccurate because the base pairs are incorrect.

Explanation:

The model of DNA that the student made was:

G-G

A-A

T-T

C-C

G-G

A-A

T-T

C-C

The model is pairing the bases incorrectly since guanine (G) forms a base pair with cytosine (C) and adenine (A) with thymine (T). In other words, the bases do not pair with the same type.

The DNA strands, which have deoxyribose, phosphate groups, and different bases, are together thanks to hydrogen bonds between the pairs. The pair G-C has three hydrogen bonds, while the pair A-T has two hydrogen bonds.
