Ray 1 from the Sun moves through air and falls on the surface of a lake. Ray 2 is a ray which travels from the surface of the lake at the point Ray 1 strikes the lake, and moves towards air. Ray 1 and Ray 2 make the same angle with the surface of the lake. Ray 1 bends towards the vertical when it enters the lake as Ray 3


Which statement is correct about Ray 1?

Answers

Ray 1 from the Sun is the incident ray which is first refracted and then is reflected off the water surface as Ray 2.

What are rays of light?

Rays of light are packets of light which travel together in a straight line.

Light rays just like other waves can be reflected, refracted, diffracted, and polarized.

The ray of light Ray 1 from the Sun is the incident ray.

Ray 2 that leaves the water surface is the reflected ray..

Therefore, Ray 1 from the Sun is the incident ray which is refracted and then is reflected off the water surface as Ray 2.

Plants must have nitrates to help them grow. what must happen to nitrogen for it to be usable by plants?

Answers

Answer:

Nitrogen Fixation

Explanation:

Nitrogen is converted from atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable forms, such as NO2-, in a process known as fixation.

Plants must use nitrates in a form of nitrogen, which is needed to make proteins for healthy growth.

What impact on plants due to depletion of nitrates or nitrogen?

Nitrate plays a very important role in our ecosystem such that due to presence of nitrogen plants grow fastly and produce fruits of  bigger size  flowers too.

Plants absorb nitrates from  water through their roots without nitrates, the amount of chlorophyll in leaves reduces.

Nitrate is a common inorganic ion found in plants which is  required for proper growth and development of the plant and growers include the percentage of nitrates in their nutrient requirement to starts plant growth. Plants acquire nitrate through root intake from the soil and water around them.

Hence due to decreasing percentage of nitrogen plants are getting yellowed it means it produces smaller fruit.

In modern era farmers add nitrogen containing fertilizers which produce large amount of grains, foods and fruits which is also diseases free.

Therefore,Plants must use nitrates in a form of nitrogen, which is needed to make proteins for healthy growth.

what does it mean when a plant photosynthesizes at maximum speed?

Answers

Answer:

High stomatal conductance

Plants with a high photosynthetic capacity have a high stomatal conductance, in the absence of environmental stress (Reich et al., 1999, 1997). This enables plants with a high photosynthetic capacity to gain carbon rapidly, at the cost of high rates of water loss.

write 7 differences between cell and virus.​

Answers

Hey there! Here are 7 differences between a cell and a virus:

A cell is a significant structural and functional unit of all living organisms. Instead, a virus is an infectious agent that is considered non-living. The cell is a living component, unlike a virus that is a parasite. Cells are present in a living form, on the other hand, the virus is present in both living and non-livingA virus doesn’t contain any kind of cytoplasm, cell wall, cell membrane, ribosome or mitochondrion, whereas a cell contains all of these (depending on what kind of cell it is). Many viruses do not even have a membrane, often formed of only a protein capsid containing the DNA or RNA based genome. Cells can exist independently like bacteria or can be as a part of larger organisms like our own cells in the body. Viruses on the other hand are non-living infectious particles that are dependant on a living host to reproduce.Cells reproduce through binary fission and mitosis or meiosis. When a virus replicates, it uses lytic fission to do itVirus particles are slightly smaller than a cell.

how has climate change over geological time and how may it change in the future?

Answers

Answer:

Climate has generally changed from warm to cool globally mostly because of glaciers. Our climate can be changed in the future by the glaciers, also. Think about it this way, glaciers in the south pole melt, and the sea levels rise. Wind currents shift the glaciers and ice shelves, so they break. This will cause the world to overheat, and sea levels to rise. That's how our climate has and will change over time.

Answer:

number 3 is the central vacuole and its  large, membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells that act as a storage space for water and other molecules in the cell

Explanation:

Answer:

3. Vacuole

Explanation:

Plant vacuole is a membrane (tonoplast) bound space which contains sap, water, excretory products and other materials (which are not useful for plants).



It occupies 90% of the volume of the plant cell.

Tonoplast, in plants facilitates transport of ion into the vacuole (against the concentration gradient) which causes higher ionic concentration in vacuole than in the cytoplasm.

Some other points:-

 Amoeba have contractile vacuole for osmoregulation and excretory purposes.

Some protists develop food vacuoles by engulfing food particles.

What is global wind and how do winds help humans travel?

The genetic foundation of a certain trait is called an organism's genotype. While an organism's phenotype refers to its outward appearance.

When an organism has two copies of the same dominant allele, it is said to be homozygous dominant.

The identical recessive allele is present in two copies in a homozygous recessive organism.

An organism is said to be heterozygous if it possesses both the dominant and recessive alleles of a gene.

(a) Mushroom
(b) Fungi
(c) stem
(c) Cuscuta
(d) haustoria
(d) Rhizobium

Answers

Answer:

C: Cuscuta is a parasite .

Explanation:

Mushrooms are a part of the fungi domain meaning that it is a decomposer.  I'm not too sure whether it means stem body cells or a stem in a plant. Either way both are not parasites. Cuscuta is a plant that does not have chlorophyll (they can't carry out photosynthesis) and since this plant cannot make its own food, it feeds off a host plant that can make food. An organism that needs a host to survive is called a parasite. Haustoria is a part of some parasites however it itself is not one. And finally Rhizobium is a bacteria that converts Nitrogen into ammonia which helps plants.

Deletion is when a part of the chromosome is deleted. (Removed)
Insertion is when part of our chromosome has an extra bit added to it.
Translocation Is when one part of the chromosome is moved to another chromosome.

Reduce the amount of pollutants that enter wetlands  best describes something these laws were intended to do. Thus, the correct option is A.

What was the purpose of the Clean Water Act of 1970?

The CWA made it illegal to dump any pollutant into navigable waters from a point source unless a permit was obtained:

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates discharges.Discrete conveyances such as pipes or man-made ditches are examples of point sources.

The Clean Water Act establishes the basic structure for regulating pollutant discharges into US waters as well as regulating surface water quality standards. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, which served as the foundation for the CWA, was enacted in 1948, but it was significantly reorganized and expanded in 1972. With modifications in 1972, the Act's common name became "Clean Water Act."
