What industry uses most of the groundwater pumped every year
oksano4ka [1.4K]
<span>Worldwide, industry accounts for about 24 percent of all water use, but this is an average amount. Industrial water use can be as much as 70 percent in some highly industrialized European countries or as low as 5 percent in less industrialized countries, such as Bolivia. Most of industrial water is used as a cooling agent for power plants, but unlike agricultural water use, the majority of the water is non-consumptive. Industrial plants usually draw water out of a river or ocean, use it for cooling their equipment, and then return the water to its origins. If care is taken to avoid contamination, the water is not degraded or polluted, and it can be used again for other purpose</span>

What happens to the force of gravity between two masses if they are moved farther apart?
denis23 [38]

Answer:It decreases.

Explanation:Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases. Hope it helps! ^w^

This diagram shows the menstrual cycle.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

According to the hormone diagram of the menstrual cycle, the woman is not pregnant due to the behavior of progesterone and estrogens, whose levels do not increase, in addition to the absence of human chorionic gonadotropin.

Explanation:

The graph shows the behavior of hormones during a woman's menstrual cycle in the absence of pregnancy.

During a woman's normal cycle, estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) tend to increase prior to ovulation, reach their peak values at ovulation, and then decline, as shown in the graph. Progesterone, on the other hand, increases after ovulation and decreases if the woman does not become pregnant.

In the case of a pregnant woman:

  • <u>Estrogens</u> continue to increase after ovulation, produced by the ovaries and placenta.
  • <u>Progesterone</u> also increases its levels, as it is a hormone produced by the ovaries and placenta.
  • <u>Hormone human chorionic gonadotropin</u> (HCG) appears and increases during pregnancy, due to the secretory activity of the placenta.

<em><u>The diagram represents the normal cycle of a woman who is not pregnant</u></em>.

List tim''s symptoms and identify the organ system (or specific organ) associated with those symptoms. (your may need to referen
pantera1 [17]
1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.

2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.
