<u>Answer:</u>

"Rainwater pouring from an eroded bank into a river" is a non-point source of water pollution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Bank erosion is the washing away of stream or river banks. This is distinct from erosion of the watercourse bed, known as scour. These erosion undermines the roots of trees which develop by a lake. As the roots closely connect the soil, they form abutments that jut out above the surface.

Non-point source water contamination is induced by widespread and isolated waste sources such as rain and snowmelt runoff, spills, leaks, and sediment erosions. To release any pollutant, without a permit, from a point source into navigable waters is illegal according to the Clean Water Act.

Coin flipping simulates the events of mitosis and the production of sperm or eggs
a_sh-v [17]
Coin flipping simulates the events of mitosis and the production of sperm. This is because females carry XX chromosomes so all eggs will have a singular X chromosome. It is the sperm that determines the sex of the foetus: males have XY chromosomes and therefore sperm will carry either X or Y chromosomes (a 50/50 chance, just like flipping a coin)

There are amphibians that are even larger than bullfrogs. Which of the following could explain how such a large amphibium could
Cloud [144]

Answer:

a. different shape (e.g. flat or ribbon shaped).

d. larger internal surface area of the lungs.

Explanation:

Amphibians are cold blooded animals. They have a low rate of metabolism . Amphibians are located most where there is water or in moist environment because of their skin and how important it is to keep their skin moist.

Amphibians breathe through their skin and this can be called cutaneous respiration. Their lungs are not well developed therefore they undergo a very slow diffusion of oxygen through their blood.

For Amphibians that are larger than bull frogs, they obtain a very sufficient rate of diffusion of gases due to the following reasons:

a. Internal surface area of the lungs: Amphibians that are larger than bull frogs tend to have a more developed respiratory organs which means there lungs have a larger surface area and they are well developed.

b. They have a different body shape: Amphibians larger than bull frogs could have a flat or ribbon shape and their body shapes make it easier for respiratory gases like oxygen to permeate or enter their skin easily.

Joints in which the bones are closely fitted are: a) strong joints with restricted movement. b) strong and free-moving joints. c
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

<u>a) strong joints with restricted movement.</u>

Explanation:

Joints which are closely fitted cannot allow free movement because movement requires space in the joint so the bones can move in this space. So a closely fitted joint allow restricted or no movement at all. Weak joints with restricted movements are called weak because they are not well fitted closely. Strong joints with restricted movement is closely fitted, one of the example is joints of skull.
