Effects of Lectins in the Diet. Lectins are apparently most widely distributed in plants, where they were found in almost 1000 plants of some 3000 examined in recent years. They are particularly abundant in legumes and they account for between 1.5 and 3 percent of the total protein content of soy and jack beans.
Deposition is the process in which material is laid down or dropped. Rock and soil that are deposited by streams are called sediment. Rivers and streams deposit sediment where the speed of the water decreases. Figure 1 shows how deposition happens as a river meanders.
Transportation & Deposition. For Clastic rocks: Clasts (sediments) are physically transported by wind, water, glaciers, and/or gravity. 1  Clasts are deposited when the transportation energy is insufficient to move the particle.2  HIGH ENERGY environments can transport large and small particles. 3  LOW ENERGY environments can transport only small particles.he sediments are deposited at the earth's surface by water, wind, glacial ice, or bio-chemical processes. Typically the sediments are deposited in layers under COOL conditions [thereby distinguishing it from a layered volcanic rock (TUFF)].
