Highly porous and permeable

Explanation:

Compared to other types of rock layers, an aquifer is highly porous and permeable.

Aquifers are always the target when prospecting for ground water in a formation.

  • Porosity is the amount of void spaces in a rock.
  • Aquifers are highly porous .
  • Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the void spaces and their ability to transmit fluids.
  • Aquifers have very high permeability compared to other rock types.

In terms of permeability and porosity, an aquifer is higher porous and permeable.

The solution should become hypertonic.

A solution will be called hypertonic if their oncotic/osmotic pressure is higher than the body fluid. When a hypertonic solution is administered, they will attract water from the nearby membrane. This will make a nearby cell become shrink as they lose water. This might be dangerous as the cells as they might go lysis if the amount of water loss is too many.
After the salt absorbed, it will be dumped by kidney into urine. But the salt will also attract water, so you will lose some fluid and might become dehydrated. This is why drinking sea water is dangerous because it will cause more fluid loss in urine.

statuscvo [17]

Answer: C. Shadow length decreased from sunrise to noon.

Explanation: Think about how the sun is positioned in the sky. If it was noon, the sun is above the stick which means little to no shadow at all. If the sun was rising, its hitting one side of the stick, making the shadow longer.

zmey [24]
Answer: 4%

Out of 5000kcal, the owl loses 2300kcal which mean it could only process 2700kcal. Out of 2700kcal processed, 2500 kcal is used for cellular respiration so there is 200 kcal used to make body cells. The production efficiency would be: 200kcal/5000kcal= 4%
