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.
(talus deposits), drifts formed at the base and on the lower parts of the slopes of elevated areas as the result of the washing out of disintegrated rocks from the upper parts of these slopes by rain and snow water and also because of the force of gravity, frost displacement, and soil movement (solifluction).
