What is transpiration? - Socratic Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts like leaves, stems and flowers www2 york psu edu () It is the evaporation of water from plants and occurs chiefly at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis The roots absorb water, but only a small amount of water, taken up by
What is the makeup the of the interior of the Congo? - Socratic The area is extensively forested making it remote The Congo River has been the major transportation route in the past I found many maps by searching: Congo River Basin Map This Map might help: Credit: Data Basin
What is fluid-phase endocytosis? - Socratic Fluid phase endocytosis is a low efficiency, non-specific process that involves the bulk uptake of solutes in exact proportion to their concentration in the extracellular fluid Cells continuously take up fluid from their neighbourhood by this process Unlike other types of uptake, this kind of endocytosis is not preceded by a specific binding to the plasma membrane or concentration of
How does energy change with a swinging pendulum? | Socratic At maximum height, the pendulum has maximum potential energy E_p=mgh and zero kinetic energy As it falls it loses vertical height and so loses potential energy, but gains an equivalent amount of kinetic energy E_k=1 2mv^2 by virtue of building up speed At the bottom most point, it has zero potential energy but maximum speed hence maximum kinetic energy At all times, the Principle of
Define endocytosis. Is it active or passive process? - Socratic Endocytosis is active engulfing, an example of bulk transport The transport of substances into the cell or from the cell into the external medium may be passive or active process Passive process does not involve any expenditure of energy; whereas active process involves expenditure of energy During endocytosis, the cell membrane engulfs materials and a vacuole is formed inside the cell
What are the = causes of soil salinization? - Socratic Using saline water for irrigation and irrigating fields under sunny hours with lots of water If you use saline water for irrigation, salt is added to soil Therefore it is a cause of soil salinization Second important issue if irrigating agricultural fields under hot hours with extra amounts of water This will cause evaporation of water, but some salt stays on soil
Why is energy efficiency important? - Socratic Our energy use has been increasing globally Since our population (human population) grows, our energy use has been growing too In order to control global carbon releases in the atmosphere, we need to find solutions One solution to fight against global climate change (as a result of increasing carbondioxide and other greenhouse gases caused by our thermal power plants, transportation systems
How does matter change from one state to another? | Socratic As energy is transferred to the substance atoms molecules gain enough energy to break free from the bulk of the substance and transition into the gaseous phase Their motion is entirely translational and restricted only by the walls of the container they are in (technically this is a description of an ideal gas, but it approximates well to a
What are some sources of electricity? - Socratic If you have a sea current, you can produce electric Biomass is also en energy source Bioethanol is a fuel that is used in Brazil Biodieses can be produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, or restaurant greases It is a renewable energy source Although it is not renewable, some countries use coal-fired power plants to produce electric Some countries use natural gas type power plants to
Which layer of the walls of the heart is the largest? - Socratic Myocardium The wall of the heart consists of three Tunics (layers) : the internal or endocardium, the middle or myocardium and the external or pericardium The endocardium is a single layer of squamous endothelial cell resting upon thin layer of loose connective tissue The pericardium is the serous covering of the heart It has three layers The myocardium or the middle layer is the thickest
