Answer:

  • The paler color reflects more light.
  • Plants release water vapor.
  • Soil holds water that would have run off the roof.

Explanation:

A rooftop garden has the ability to reduce heat by up to 7ºC, in addition to promoting a beautiful and pleasant look.

First, a rooftop garden has plants that, in addition to releasing water vapor into the atmosphere, refreshing the environment, have the ability to increase the humidity of the place. The presence of soil also promotes the reduction of temperature, this is because the organic material contained in the soil and the roots of the plants allows the water that would run off the roof to be trapped in the soil, promoting a refreshment to the place. Finally, a rooftop garden usually has light colors, these colors reflect a lot of solar energy and absorb little solar energy, limiting high temperatures.

When testing a person's skin for allergens using patch testing, tiny amounts of allergens are placed on stainless steel discs an
Airida [17]

Answer:

48 hours

Explanation:

Patch testing is a method to test the allergic reactions called contact dermatitis caused by the allergens found in the environment the patient is surrounded by like home allergens or work allergens.

To perform the test, the allergens are placed on the metal discs which are pasted on the back of the person with hypoallergenic tape.

Then the discs are allowed to be pasted on the back of the person for about 2 days or 48 hours after which the skin is examined for the allergy reactions caused by an allergen in the form of inflammatory response or hypersensitivity.

Thus, 48 hours is the correct answer.

Mafic lava tends to have low silica content. Based on this, which of the following statements about mafic lava is most likely tr
sashaice [31]

Answer:

A. It contains fewer volatile gases.

Explanation:

Mafic lava have a composition of about 45-55% silica with high amount of Fe, Mg, Ca.

The silica content is quite low compared to those of granitic magma whose silica content can reach up to about 60%.

What determines the viscosity of magma is basically the silica content of the magma and the temperature of the magma. Viscosity is the resistance to flow.

The higher the silica content, the lower the viscosity and the higher the amount of volatile gases. Such type of magma is the granitic magma. Granitic magma due to their viscosity flows slowly.

The lower the silica content, the higher the viscosity and the lesser the presence of volatile gases in them. Such an example is Mafic magma. Mafic magma flows very slowly with low amount of dissolved gases.

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>

Mosses, ferns, and lichens are bryophytes. They are non-vascular and non-flowering plant and have a thallus-like body. They reproduce by production f spores, inside the sporangia, and connceted to a base called as sporangiophore, which attaches it to the thallus.
