The phrase “When it pours, the desert stores” refers that deserts have underground water reserves, so when it rains the desert stores water.

<h3>Is there water in the Sahara Desert?</h3>

Recently, a large amount of groundwater was identified in North Africa in the Sahara desert region, but at high depths that make it difficult for the poor population of the region to exploit it.

With this information, we can conclude that the phrase “When it pours, the desert stores” refers that deserts have underground water reserves, so when it rains the desert stores water.

The phrase refers to the water-storage abilities of desert plant species.

<h3>Adaptation for water storage</h3>

Desert plants such as cactus are well-adapted to store water for long-term usage when water is available.

This ability makes desert species to be able to withstand drought. The reserved water is utilized when water availability reduces or ceases totally.

Thus, when it rains, the desert species store water.

Which of the inner transition metals is critical to the nuclear power industry.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

<u>Uranium</u> is the  inner transition metals is critical to the nuclear power industry.

Explanation:

Uranium is a common transition metal found in rocks and is used for nuclear fission reactions. In a nuclear fission reaction, a neutron atom is hit on a uranium atom. As a result, the uranium atoms breaks down releasing huge amounts of energy. Also, more neutrons are released by the breakdown and hence the this neutron hits other uranium atoms and the cycle continues. The most active radioisotope of uranium being used in nuclear fission reactions is U-235.

Cells a and b are the same size and shape, but cell a is metabolically quiet and cell b is actively consuming oxygen. Oxygen wil
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The two cells of the similar shape, and size have different levels of the ongoing metabolic activity. On one hand, the cell a is metabolically quiet, which means that no energy consuming chemical reactions are taking place in this cell. On the other hand, the cell b is actively consuming the surrounding oxygen. In this scenario, the oxygen will more quickly diffuse into the cell b because the diffusion gradient for oxygen in this cell is steeper than in the cell a.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'b and the diffusion gradient is steeper' respectively.
