In kelp forests along the North American coastline, sea stars (pictured above) get their nutrients by feeding on dead or decaying debris, or
A.) detritus
B.) autotrophs
C.) omnivores

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The correct option is A (detritus).

Explanation:

The sea star also called the star fish belongs to the phylum echinodermata. They are slow moving marine animals living on the sea-shores and sea beds. They possess tube feet under their arms which enables them to move to location where they can obtain food.

During feeding, the star fish is capable of pouring digestive enzymes on the soft tissue of its prey. Once liquefied, it absorbs it into its stomach. The following are the different types of food that a star fish can feed on:

--> coral,

--> sponges,

--> clams,

--> oysters,

--> sand dollars, and mussels

They also feed on dead or decaying debris of different plants and animals. These dead or decaying debris are also called DETRITUS. A detritus is made up of leaves and other plant parts, animal remains and waste organic products that fall into water bodies from the kelp forests along the North American coastline.

Do you think there should be government regulation against known carcinogens? Why or why not? Write a 5-6 sentence paragraph that states your opinion and explains the reasons for it.

Answers

Answer:

Yes,there should be government regulation against known carcinogens;

Because of following reason;

food containing carcinogens cause food poison,cancer and effect our health negatively.it degrades the immunity power of us which makes us weak.if regulations is made people be awared and stop consuming those type of food.people start to consume good diet.

Answer:

Yes. I believe that there should be government regulation against known carcinogens. Take food into consideration. Before President Roosevelt passed the first Food and Drug Act, mothers would quite literally feed their children formula that could have heroin in it or any unregulated substance, because companies could do so without any repercussions. Meat factories were dangerous and its no secret that there were a significant amount of rats that fell into the meat. After this act was passed in the United States, factories cleaned up their conditions and food became somewhat safe to eat. This act protected the consumer and made them aware of what they were literally consuming. Why is this different from government regulation against carcinogens? Did you know that bug spray can contain carcinogens? Old fridges? Granite countertops? Weedkiller? Because I did not. Consumers should be aware of the contents of the things they are buying. Corporations SHOULD be held responsible for putting customers in harms way. Government legislation should be passed to protect those who do not know better. Because we should not have to know better. We should already know.

Non vascular plants are quite commin in the forests along the coast of Norther California but are relatively rare in the ecosystems around Davis in the Central Valley. What aspects of the life cycle of these plants make it difficult for them to reproduce on our area

Answers

Answer:

The Central Valley of northern California is a region where there is little water supply, while nonvascular plants cannot efficiently store water and they have primitive traits that are dependent on water for reproduction.

Explanation:

The Central Valley of northern California is characterized to have little natural precipitation/snowmelt during the dry summer months. In addition, California's climate also has extended periods of drought. On the other hand, non-vascular plants such as mosses and liverworts, are a type of plant that lacks vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), and they also lack true roots, stems, or leaves. These plants cannot efficiently absorb and store water (which fundamental for survival), and thereby the success of these plants in establishing and reproducing in the ecosystems of the Central Valley is limited to their physiological tolerance to desiccation. Moreover, non-vascular plants may also exhibit primitive traits related to their reproductive cycle (e.g., a flagellated sperm) that are dependent on water for reproduction.

Select one:

Sweating due to an increase in body temperature.


The reduction of hormone production during pregnancy.

Answers

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The attraction of platelets when a wound occurs indicates a positive feedback. The correct option is B.

What is feedback mechanism?

The feedback mechanism is the body's mechanism for keeping hormone levels within desired limits.

The feedback mechanism is activated by an increase or decrease in hormone levels. The body has two types of feedback mechanisms: positive feedback mechanisms and negative feedback mechanisms.

Positive feedback loops and negative feedback loops are the two types of feedback loops.

Positive feedback increases system output, causing growth or decline. Negative feedback dampens output and helps to keep the system stable around an equilibrium point.

Platelet plug formation is thought to be a positive feedback process because ADP and VWF levels rise as more platelets activate to form the plug.

Thus, the correct option is B.

A cross between a pink 4 o'clock plant and a pink 4 o'clock plant results in a
ratio of 1 Red: 2 Pink: 1 White. What type of inheritance pattern is represented
here?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Red four o clocks are h/o/m/o/z/y/g/o/u/s RR.

White four o clocks are h/o/m/o/z/y/g/o/u/s WW.

R is not dominant to W and W is not dominant to R. This means that there is an incomplete dominance (or semi-dominance), where the phenotypes will mix and the Dominant alleles doesn't mask the affect of the Recessive alleles.

Pink four o clocks are h/e/t/e/r/o/z/y/g/o/u/s RW.

Species may be defined as a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another in nature and produce fertile offspring.

An asteroid impact threatens the whole biodiversity to a large extent. It leads to the destruction of almost all life forms living on the earth's surface.

A researcher is curious if Bt resistant bollworms are susceptible to an insecticide called DDT. Bollworms susceptible to Bt have genotype RR or Rr, whereas those resistant to Bt have genotype rr. Bollworms susceptible to DDT have genotype tt, whereas bollworms resistant to DDT have genotypes Tt or TT. In an effort to better understand how these two genes are inherited, the researcher crosses an RR tt bollworm with an rr TT bollworm to produce the F1 generation. Then, the researcher crosses the F1 generation to produce an F2 generation. What proportion of the F2 generation is resistant to both Bt and DDT

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3/16 or 18.75% portion will be resistant to both Bt and DDT.
