Answer: The lateral erosion of a river causes overhanging cliffs to occur along the bank.

The lateral erosion causes widening of the river. As the river flows over the flatter land it leads to development of larger bends called as meanders. When the river flows around a bend the water gets pushed outside and leads to more speed and increase in erosion by the hydraulic action and abrasion.

The lateral erosion on the outer bend leads to undercutting of the river bank and formation of a river cliff.

Carbon chains are principal features of both carbohydrates and lipids.what is the primary difference between these two types of
solong [7]
While both carbohydrates and lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen there are several differences:

1. Carbohydrates are chains of 2 or more carbon atoms.  These can be very lengthy (like long cellulose chains of glucose units). They have many polar OH groups (e.g. glucose - C6H6O6). Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and are soluble in water because of their polar OH groups. They are not necessarily sugars nor are they necessarily sweet. They are also important components of DNA, RNA and ATP.

2. Lipids are more diverse in their chemistry. They generally have a polar region at one end (this end attracts water) and a large non polar hydrocarbon region that repels water. Lipids don't dissolve in water and instead clump together with their hydrocarbon regions on the interior. Lipids include oils, fatty acids, waxes, steroids and hormones.

What is true regarding normal quiet expiration of air?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

<h2>Normal quiet expirarion of air is known as Tidal volume which is equal to 500 mL .</h2>

Explanation:

Normal quiet expiration or Tidal volume is a expiration of air with each normal breath . This is about 500 mL . It is composed of about 350 mL of alveolar volume and about 150 mL of dead space volume . The alveolar volume consist of the air that reaches the respiratory surface of alveoli and involve in gaseous exchange . The dead space volume consist of air that does not reach the respiratory surfaces . The lowest value is of Tidal volume . There is an extra amount of air that can be expired forcibly after a normal expiration i.e., known as expiratory reserve volume which is equal 1000 mL of air .
