Answer: Waves are important for building up and breaking down shorelines. Waves transport sand onto and off of beaches, transport sand along beaches, carves structures along the shore. The largest waves form when the wind is very strong, blows steadily for a long time, and blows over a long distance.
The wind could be strong, but if it gusts for just a short time, large waves won’t form. Wave energy does the work of erosion at the shore. Waves approach the shore at some angle so the inshore part of the wave reaches shallow water sooner than the part that is further out. The shallow part of the wave ‘feels’ the bottom first. This slows down the inshore part of the wave and makes the wave “bend.” This bending is called refraction.
Wave refraction either concentrates wave energy or disperses it. In quiet water areas, such as bays, wave energy is dispersed, so sand is deposited. Areas that stick out into the water are eroded by the strong wave energy that concentrates its power on the wave-cut cliff.
A wave-cut platform is the level area formed by wave erosion as the waves undercut a cliff. An arch is produced when waves erode through a cliff. When a sea arch collapses, the isolated towers of rocks that remain are known as sea stacks.
Wave Deposition
PictureRivers carry sediments from the land to the sea. If wave action is high, a delta will not form. Waves will spread the sediments along the coastline to create a beach. Waves also erode sediments from cliffs and shorelines and transport them onto beaches.Beaches can be made of mineral grains, like quartz, rock fragments, and also pieces of shell or coral. Waves continually move sand along the shore and move sand from the beaches on shore to bars of sand offshore as the seasons change. In the summer, waves have lower energy so they bring sand up onto the beach. In the winter, higher energy waves bring the sand back offshore.Some features form by wave-deposited sand. These features include barrier islands and spits. A spit is sand connected to land and extending into the water. A spit may hook to form a tombolo. Shores that are relatively flat and gently sloping may be lined with long narrow barrier islands. Most barrier islands are a few kilometers wide and tens of kilometers long.In its natural state, a barrier island acts as the first line of defense against storms such as hurricanes. When barrier islands are urbanized, hurricanes damage houses and businesses rather than vegetated sandy areas in which sand can move. A large hurricane brings massive problems to the urbanized

What are stem cells? How are embryonic stem cells different from adult stem cells?
Answer:
Stem cells are the body's raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated.
Embryonic stem cells are derived during early development at the blastocyst stage and are pluripotent, meaning that they can differentiate into any cell type. In contrast, adult stem cells are rare, undifferentiated cells present in many adult tissues.

Which type of tumor, benign or malignant, causes more damage to the body?
Answer:
A malignant tumor is more dangerous because it can grow quickly. It may grow into or spread to other parts of the brain or to the spinal cord.
Explanation:
Tumors can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumors tend to grow slowly and do not spread. Malignant tumors can grow rapidly, invade and destroy nearby normal tissues, and spread throughout the body.

What kind of genetic disorder is represented in the pedigree?
Answer:
an autosomal recessive disorder
Explanation:
Autosomal recessive disorders are inherited diseases caused by the presence of two copies (alleles) of an abnormal gene, thereby only homo-zygous recessive individuals are affected by this type of disease. In consequence, although both parents don't express the disease, they can be carriers and pass this recessive disorder to their offspring who express the disease. In this case, the pedigree shows that heterozygous parents are not affected but they are carriers of the recessive allele for this disease, thereby some offspring express the trait. The black circle (female) and the black square (male) indicate affected individuals in the pedigree chart. Since both parents are heterozygous, 1/4 (25%) of all offspring would be expected to have the autosomal recessive disorder.

Describe what happens to the egg during the menstrual cycle on day 14. _______________________
Answer:Ok so A few days before Day 14, your estrogen levels peak and cause a sharp rise in the level of luteinizing hormone (LH). LH causes the mature follicle to burst and release an egg from the ovary, called ovulation, on Day 14.At about day 14 in the menstrual cycle, a sudden surge in luteinizing hormone causes the ovary to release its egg. The egg begins its five-day travel through a narrow, hollow structure called the fallopian tube to the uterus. hope this helps have a nice night ❤️❤️❤️
Explanation:
Answer: Because However, during days 10 to 14, only one of the developing follicles forms a fully mature egg. At about day 14 in the menstrual cycle, a sudden surge in luteinizing hormone causes the ovary to release its egg. The egg begins its five-day travel through a narrow, hollow structure called the fallopian tube to the uterus. The egg travels down the fallopian tubes. If pregnancy doesn't occur, the egg is reabsorbed into the body. Levels of oestrogen and progesterone fall, and the womb lining comes away and leaves the body as a period (the menstrual flow). The time from the release of an egg to the start of a period is around 10 to 16 days.

When you lean against the wall, there is an equal and opposite force exerted on you by the wall.
O Newton's First Law
O Newton's Second Law
O Newton's Third Law
Answer:
Newton's 3rd law
Explanation:
When you lean against the wall, there is a contact made between you and the wall, so whenever contact comes into play, normal reaction force always exist, so that makes up action-reaction pair.. so it's Newton's third law!!
When farmers want two desirable traits in cows, they often breed individuals that have those traits in the hopes that the offspring will have both desirable traits. What is this practice called?
Variation
Adaptation
Natural selection
Artificial selection
Answer:
artificial selection
Explanation:
When farmers want two desirable traits in cows, they often breed individuals that have those traits in the hopes that the offspring will have both desirable traits. The practice is called Artificial selection.
What is Artificial selection?Artificial selection is the process of identifying desirable qualities in plants and animals and then taking action to strengthen and pass those traits on to succeeding generations.
Artificial selection operates in a similar manner to natural selection, with the exception that in natural selection, these judgments are made by nature without human intervention.
Natural selection, sometimes summed up by the adage "survival of the fittest," is predicated on the following ideas: In the natural world, organisms give birth to more children than they can keep alive and reproduce.
Therefore, When farmers want two desirable traits in cows, they often breed individuals that have those traits in the hopes that the offspring will have both desirable traits. The practice is called Artificial selection.

11. How has our misguided, or inappropriate, use of antibiotics led to the development of organisms like
MRSA and VRSA?
Answer:
1. use of the wrong antibiotic
2. use of insufficient concentration of the right antibiotic
Explanation:
MRSA means Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
VRSA means Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
These are resistant forms of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus to the antibiotics mentioned.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics occurs when bacteria develop mechanisms that protect them against the effects of previously effective antibiotics.
Misguided and inappropriate use of antibiotics results in resistance, and they mainly occur as a result of two activities:
1. Use of wrong antibiotics: antibiotics are chosen using a microbiological technique called 'sensitivity testing', to determine which antibiotic is effective against a bacterium. However, when antibiotics are taken without proper sensitivity testing, the bacteria develop resistance against such antibiotics.
2. Use of inadequate concentration of the right antibiotic: This involves using less than the minimum inhibitory of minimum bactericidal concentration of an antibiotic against a bacteria. In this case, the organism has ample time to evolve in the presence of the antibiotic, hence the occurrence of resistance.

Why do you think having such an extensive membranous area is beneficial when performing photosynthesis?
Answer:
Increasing the membrane area also increases the number of ATP and NADPH generating sites
Explanation:
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast, more precisely in the membranes of the thylakoids that form stacks of disks called grana. A mature chloroplast may have 20 to 60 grana. In these membranes, there are photosystems, which are structural units of pigment-protein complexes that convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH. A thylakoid may contain thousands of photosystems. In consequence, increasing the membrane area also increases the number of photosystems required for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH.
