The vacuoles because they shrink and become flaccid as they detach from the cell membrane. water is lost from the stomata so the plant withers and dies.

Vacuole is the answer.

Wilting is the loss of rigidity of non woody parts of plants and occurs when turgor pressure falls.

The vacuole controls turgor pressure. Turgor pressure dictates the rigidity of the cell and is associated with the difference between the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell.

When a plant receives adequate amounts of water, the central vacuoles of its cells swell as the liquid collects within them creating a high level of turgor pressure which helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant along with the support of the cell wall.

In the absence of enough water , central vacuoles shrink and turgor pressure is reduced compromising the plant's rigidity so that wilting takes place.

This would create a pH solution of too much base because of the removal of too much HCl.
A strong base can dissociate into ions that can react with an acid resulting to the removal of H+ ions from a solution. A weak base only dissociates partially which removes less H+ ions in a solution.

Which of these is an example of land degradation?

Nikitich [7]

The correct answer is - D. A drought kills all the plants in an area, leaving bare land.

If there's such a big drought that will manage to kill off all the vegetation in an area and leave bare land behind it, than the land will be degraded in no time. Once the land is left without its natural protection that the roots of the vegetation provide, the land will be exposed to high rates of and erosion. The erosion will be very quick and the top layers of the soil will be moved away with every wind and rainfall that will appear. That will degrade the land to a very high degree, making it totally unusable and it will need lot of time to eventually recuperate.

1 )Which of the following is a possible formula unit? PbO Li2B Al2Pb3 ClO

Nataly_w [17]

1. PbO is a possible formula units, since O has charge of 2- and Pb can have a charge of 2+ or 4+, if it uses the 2+ ion, the charges will balance out to form PbO. Li+ and B(3-) would have Li3B, Al(3+) and Pb(2+) are both positive charges and would not balance out, Cl- and O(2-) are both negative charges and would not balance out.

2. Iodine is a halogen, so it has a charge of -1. Calcium is an alkaline earth metal in Group 2, so it has a charge of 2+. Therefore, if they were to form a formula unit, the resultant would be CaI2 (2 iodine atoms of 1- charge are needed to balance out the 2+ charge on the calcium atom).

3. Strontium is an alkaline earth metal with a charge of 2+, while phosphorus has a charge of 3-. Therefore, to balance the charges out, we would need 3 atoms of strontium and 2 atoms of phosphorus. This would give the formula unit of Sr3P2.
