Answer:
Due to coevolution
Explanation:
Coevolution occurs when the evolution of two species (or more) is influenced by the biological relationships between those species. It is, the evolution takes place in a mutually dependent manner. A type of coevolution, is that of the type Predator-Prey , in which a selective pressure on the prey generates new features to avoid being captured, but at the same time, the predator evolves to overcome the new features adopted by the prey becoming a more effective hunter. Thus, coevolution often leads to an evolutionary arms race between prey and predator
The predator-prey relationship involves coevolution, where both species influence each other's evolution over many generations. This leads to pronounced behavioral responses and adaptations in both predator and prey, based on survival strategies such as enhanced hunting and evasion tactics. Cyclic population fluctuations are common in these relationships.
Explanation:Predators and prey with many generations of interactions are likely to have pronounced behavioral responses to each other due to coevolution. This process involves two species influencing each other's evolution over time.
An example of this is the lynx and snowshoe hare. Over generations, the lynx has evolved to become an efficient hunter of the hare while the hare has evolved in its ability to evade the lynx. The predator-prey relationship leads to a cyclical pattern where the rise and fall of predator and prey populations are interconnected. When the hare population increases, it provides more food for the lynx, which increases the lynx population. However, when the lynx population becomes too dense, it leads to a decrease in the hare population due to over-predation and in turn, the lynx population also decreases due to scarcity of food. Similar interactions result in a strong behavioral response and adaptations in both predator and prey, such as enhanced hunting skills in the predator and evasion tactics in the prey. In addition, both species undergo some form of defense mechanism evolution to reduce the impact of predation.

Mark's misuse of alcohol and other addictive drugs is influenced by genetic factors, by the ready availability of drugs in Mark's neighborhood, and by Mark's failure to accurately assess the risks associated with drug usage. An understanding of Mark's difficulties within the framework of multiple levels of analysis is most clearly provided bya. a dual-processing theory.b. the activation-synthesis perspective.c. a biopsychosocial approach.d. the neuroadaptation model.e. the cognitive-behavioral perspective.
Answer:
c. a biopsychosocial approach.
Explanation:
A psychosocial approach is a model of medicine and psychology that studies the cause and evolution of illness, addiction, and disorder considering biological, psychological, and social aspects. It is opposed to the biomedical model, which is centered on disease and restricted to biological factors.
From a biopsychosocial perspective, health and disease are understood as a result not only of the interaction of the biological factors of the individual's organism, but also of the environment in which they live and their social relationships. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Mark's addiction is explained by the biological and social factors surrounding him.
The entire population of a given community is examined, and all who are judged to be free from bowel cancer are questioned extensively about their diets. These people then are followed for several years to see whether or not their eating habits will predict their risk of developing bowel cancer. What type of study design is this? a) Cross-sectional studyb) Case-control studyc) Prospective cohort studyd) Historical prospective cohort studye) Clinical trialf) Community trial
The type of study design in this Prospective cohort study.
c) Prospective cohort study
Explanation:
It is the study that follows the overtime in a group of similar individuals who differs with respect to certain factors under the study to determine how the factors affect the rate of certain outcomes.
The testing may varies by the hypothesis given by the cretin patients that the age of 20 year of people affected by the lung cancer will be the highest among the heavy smokers, followed by the moderate and non smoking . it is test process of the individuals under the effective cause of the disease can be determined by method.
The described study is a prospective cohort study, which follows a healthy population over time to observe the effects of their eating habits on the risk of developing bowel cancer.
The study design described by the student, where the entire population of a community is examined and then followed over time to see whether their eating habits can predict the risk of developing bowel cancer, is known as a prospective cohort study. In a prospective cohort study, a group of individuals (a cohort) who do not have the disease in question are followed into the future to observe outcomes. This design is particularly useful in epidemiology to establish potential cause-and-effect relationships by tracking exposures before the development of disease.
Assume that you are working with a mutant, nutritionally deficient strain of Escherichia coli and that you isolate "revertants," which are nutritional-normal. Describe, at the molecular level, two possible causes for the "reversion to wild type."
Answer:
Mutation may be defined as the sudden heritable change in the genetic sequence of the organism. The mutation can cause the characteristics phenotype in the individual.
Two ways by which the reversion to wild type occur are true reversion and suppression mutation. The true reversion process involves the precision of the correction of the original mutation. The suppression intragenic or intergenic mutation introduce the changes in the mutant gene and compensate for the wild type product.
At the molecular level, reversion to wild-type in nutritionally deficient E. coli can occur through a back mutation, restoring the ability to produce a necessary nutrient, or a suppressor mutation, which bypasses the block caused by the original mutation.
Explanation:When working with a mutant, nutritionally deficient strain of Escherichia coli and isolating revertants that are nutritionally normal, two possible molecular causes for the reversion to wild-type are back mutation or suppressor mutation.
Firstly, a back mutation could occur, which is a second mutation that restores the original DNA sequence or results in a new sequence that somehow compensates for the effect of the original mutation, allowing the E. coli to revert to being able to synthesize the nutrient it was previously unable to produce.
Secondly, a suppressor mutation may arise in a different location within the genome that counteracts the original mutation's effect. This does not reverse the original mutation but provides a new pathway or enzymatic function that bypasses the block created by the original mutation, allowing the cell to grow without the required nutrient supplement.

Explanation:
Fatty acids usually have an even number of carbons in their structures. They are catabolized by a process called beta-oxidation. The end products of the metabolic pathway are acetyl groups of acetyl CoA molecules. These acetyl groups _____.
A) directly enter the electron transport chain
B) directly enter the energy-yielding stages of glycolysis
C) are directly decarboxylated by pyruvate dehydrogenase
D) directly enter the citric acid cycle
Answer:
D. Directly enter the citric acid cycle
Explanation:
In biochemistry and metabolism, beta-oxidation is the catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in the cytosol in prokaryotes and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes to generate acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle, and NADH and FADH2, which are co-enzymes used in the electron transport chain. The NADH and FADH2 produced by both beta oxidation and the TCA cycle are used by the mitochondrial electron transport chain to produce ATP. Complete oxidation of one palmitate molecule (fatty acid containing 16 carbons) generates 129 ATP molecules.
The acetyl groups from the catabolization of fatty acids via beta-oxidation directly enter the citric acid cycle. This is where the acetyl-CoA is further metabolized, contributing to the production of ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
The end products of the metabolic pathway of beta-oxidation in which fatty acids are broken down are acetyl groups of acetyl-CoA molecules. These acetyl groups directly enter the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle). The citric acid cycle is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy. The acetyl-CoA combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which then undergoes a series of reactions releasing energy and producing carbon dioxide, NADH, and FADH2, which are utilized by the electron transport chain.
The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids takes place within the mitochondria and is a significant contributor to the production of ATP when glucose levels are low. After being catabolized to acetyl-CoA, these molecules can't directly enter the electron transport chain or glycolysis, nor are they immediately decarboxylated by pyruvate dehydrogenase; rather, they proceed to the citric acid cycle for further metabolism.

A viewer closely focused on a complex task, such as being asked to count how many times a group of people threw a ball back and forth, may miss other nonattended stimuli like dancers moving through the group of people due to an attentional phenomenon called____________
Answer:
Inattentional blindness
Explanation:
Inattentional blindness is a phenomenon which occurs as a failure of an individual to take notice of an object or event that is very obvious due to the fact that such objects or event were not expected, rather attention was fully focused elsewhere on another object, task or event. This type of blindness occurs simply as a result of lack of attention of an individual on events, objects or tasks that are not expected, while attention is focused on expected stimuli. It is not as a result of defect in vision. One tends to miss an obvious and clear event, object or task, unless one focused one’s attention on such object.

The pectoral girdle is formed by the articulation of the hip bones and the sacrum. True or False
Answer:
False (The statement is true for pelvic girdle)
Explanation:
The pectoral or shoulder girdle is the set of bones in the appendicular skeleton (a portion of the skeleton that supports appendages) which connects to the arm on each side i.e. it connects upper limbs (arms) to the bones along the axis of the body.
In humans, the pectoral girdle is made up of two major bones viz: clavicle/collar bone and scapula/shoulder blade. These two bones which attaches the upper limbs to axial skeleton forms the pectoral girdle. Although, in species with three bones, coracoid bone is included in its formation.
The pelvic girdle is formed by the hip bone, which is the point of attachment for each lower limb (legs). The hip bone attaches the lower limb to the axial skeleton via its articulation with the sacrum. The sacrum is a triangular bone formed by the fusion of vertebrae and located in between the right and left hip bones. The association of the right and left hip bones, sacrum and coccyx forms the pelvis.
We would expect the greatest difference in plant health between two groups of plants of the same species, one group with mycorrhizae and one group without mycorrhizae, in an environment _____.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
We would expect the greatest difference in plant health between two groups of plants of the same species, one group with mycorrhizae and one group without mycorrhizae, in an environment _____.
A) where nitrogen-fixing bacteria are abundant.
B) that has soil with poor drainage.
C) that has hot summers and cold winters.
D) in which the soil is relatively deficient in mineral nutrients.
E) that is near a body of water, such as a pond or river.
Answer:
D) in which the soil is relatively deficient in mineral nutrients.
Explanation:
Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations between fungi and the roots of plants. The fungus grows around and into the root and into the surrounding soil. The fungus absorbs essential minerals, especially phosphorus, from the soil for the plant. The plant provides the organic nutrients produced by photosynthesis to the fungus. Therefore, the plants with mycorrhizae exhibit better growth in mineral deficient soil than the plants without mycorrhizae.
A population’s emigration in one month totaled three individuals. During the same period, immigration was 17 individuals. Birth rate was 12, and mortality was 26 due to a parasite infection. What was the net effect on the population?
a) -14
b) 0
c) +12
d) +26
Answer:
b) 0
Explanation:
Given that:
Emigration = 3, Immigration = 17, Birth = 12, and Mortality = 26
Net effect on the population, which is the change in population, can be calculated using the formula (Births + Immigration) - (Mortality + Emigration)
Therefore, Net effect = (12 + 17) - (26 + 3)
= 29 – 29
= 0
The net effect on the population is 0. There is no increase or decrease in the total population
The structure most responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis is the
Answer:
Plasma membrane
Explanation:
The cell communicates with its outer environment with the help of cell membrane. The factors that keeps the cell healthy are involved in cellular homeostasis. The movement of ions and water is prevented through plasma membrane. Thus sodium ion concentration is maintained in extracellular environment. Inside the cell, organic acids and potassium ions concentration is high. The water movement across the membrane maintains the cytosol concentration. The cell tolerates temperature changes by maintaining fluidity of membrane. Thus, the structure most responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis is the plasma membrane.
The plasma membrane is the key structure in maintaining cell homeostasis, allowing cells to regulate their internal environment through selective permeability and transport processes to ensure survival.
Explanation:The structure most responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis is the plasma membrane. Cell homeostasis refers to the dynamic state of balance within the cell, ensuring that its internal environment remains stable amidst changes inside and outside the cell. The plasma membrane plays a crucial role in this process by regulating what enters and exits the cell, thus maintaining the necessary conditions for cell survival such as nutrient levels, removal of wastes, and balancing water and ion concentrations. This is achieved through mechanisms like selective permeability and transport processes.
Homeostasis is not a static condition but requires continuous adjustments through homeostatic regulation. In the context of the human body, the maintenance of homeostasis across all cells ensures that essential physiological variables like body temperature, pH of extracellular fluids, and blood glucose levels remain within a narrow, livable range despite external changes. This complex balance is orchestrated through a series of interactions between stimuli, sensors, control centers, and effectors, often regulated by negative feedback loops, which work to prevent excessive response to stimuli, and, less frequently, by positive feedback loops, which intensify the response until an endpoint is reached.
Which of the following actual (i.e., real) products of biological activity is not likely to be a source of the increases in greenhouse gases observed in recent history? A. carbon dioxide produced as a result of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms B. carbon dioxide produced by use of fossil fuels in automobiles, heating and cooling, and industry C. increases in the amount of water vapor the atmosphere can hold (or relative humidity) at higher global temperatures
Answer:
A)
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide produced as a result of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms.
Is not B, because the carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels is not use inside a greenhouse.
And the amount of water vapor is not a source for CO2
Genetic variation leads to genetic diversity in populations and is the raw material for evolution. Biological systems have multiple processes, such as reproduction, that affect genetic variation. They are evolutionarily conserved and shared by various organisms. Which statement best represents the connection between reproduction and evolution?
A) Plants that use sexual reproduction are rare since this type of reproduction in plants does not contribute to genetic diversity.
B) Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation because random mutations can be shufflec between organisms.
C) Since prokaryotic organisms reproduce asexually, there is no mechanism for them to add genetic diversity for evolution.
D) In order to increase genetic diversity for evolution in sexually reproducing organisms, mutations must occur in the zygote after fertilization.
Answer:
Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation because random mutations can be shuffled between organisms.
Explanation:
Sexual reproduction includes gamete formation and fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote (fertilization). The processes of gamete formation and fertilization impart genetic variations in the progeny. New gene combinations are produced during gamete formation by the process of crossing over that occurs during prophase I of meiosis I. These new gene combinations and other mutations present in the germ line cells are transmitted to the progeny during fusion of male and female gametes.
The random fusion of gametes during fertilization adds even more genetic variations to the progeny. Therefore, random fertilization of male and female gametes mixes the mutations present in the germ line cells and thereby impart genetic variations to the progeny. These genetic variations serve as raw material for evolution.

Part A What is a telomere? What is a telomere? the mechanism that holds two sister chromatids together the ends of linear chromosomes the site of origin of DNA replication DNA replication during telophase
Answer: B the ends of linear chromosomes.
Explanation:
Based on structure, telomeres are located at the end of chromosomes; they are protective caps that bind the genes at the end of the chromosomes in order to prevent it from interchromosomal fusion (clumping) and degradation (broken down). Simply, they serve the same role as plastic caps to the tip of shoe laces; preventing it from unraveling.
.
Generally, telomeres becomes short in length with time. At this stage they become weaken, and breaks down. The affected the cells basic replication activites, and therefore the functions. These non-functioning cells accumulated in body organs, and made them to degenerate .This reduced longevity, leading to death of cells. However the shortening of the length is an advantage to prevent the spread of cancer in cells because I naturally stops the uncontrivable growth of cells
Therefore the longer the length of telomeres at the genome end of chromosomes, the higher the rate of replication of the concerned cells, and hence the increase in the age of the cell
The mitochondrial electron transport chain a. is the site of most of the reactions of the citric acid cycle. b. synthesizes ATP. c. pumps protons into the mitochondrial matrix during electron transport. d. oxidizes water to O2 and 2 H . e. oxidizes the intermediate electron carriers, NADH and FADH2.
Answer: c pump protons into the mitochondrial matrix during electron transport
Explanation: the movement of electrons from one protein carrier to another of different energy
Levels generated ENERGY. This is the quantity of energy needed to pump protons from the matix of the mitochondrial ithrough the inner intramembrane to the cystosol,to returm back to the matrix for ATP synthsis. Therefore protons concentration gradients build up
Hydrogen ions/protons move down the gradients through the proton channels of rhe ATPase synthase .
The latter extracted energy from the protons as it pass through it to phosphorylate ADP to form ATP.
ADP + Pi === ATP.
Therefore ,the electron transport chain generated energy for proton

__________ is a progressive degenerative disease of the basal nuclei that affects the dopamine-secreting pathways.
a.Parkinson's disease
b.mad cow disease
c.Huntington's disease
d.Alzheimer's disease
Answer:
a.Parkinson's disease
Explanation:
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter who's function is to be the body's reward center "happy hormone" and it is also involved in motor control.
For unknown reasons in the elderly, dopamine is lost when the dopamine-producing nerve cells die in the basal ganglia and substanta nigra which results in movement problems such as, tremor, slowness of movement, stiffness, and balance problems.
This disease is called Parkinsons disease which is a progressive and degenerative disorder
A primigravid client at 24 weeks’ gestation has received permission from the primary care provider to make a 6-hour automobile trip to visit her parents. After the nurse teaches the client about precautions to take during the trip, which client statement indicates the need for further instruction?
The importance of a pregnant woman taking frequent breaks to walk around on a long trip is to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A statement indicating misunderstanding of this precaution would show the need for further instruction on travel safety for pregnant women.
Explanation:The question pertains to a primigravid client at 24 weeks’ gestation who has planned a 6-hour automobile trip and needs to know the precautions to take. During long trips, pregnant women are advised to take several precautions to maintain their health and safety as well as that of their unborn child. Key advice includes taking frequent breaks to walk around and reduce the risk of blood clots, staying hydrated, wearing a seat belt properly, and avoiding driving for long periods without rest.
A statement indicating the need for further instruction would be if the client said, "I won't need to stop for breaks; I can sit still the whole trip." This statement shows a misunderstanding of the need to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by moving around periodically. The proper use of a seat belt, positioned under the belly and across the chest, is also vital for safety during pregnancy.
The correct option indicating the need for further instruction is B) "I will sleep for 1 hour at the halfway point of the trip." Sleeping for a prolonged period during a car trip poses risks of blood clots and accidents. The other options emphasize appropriate precautions such as wearing a seat belt, staying hydrated, and taking regular breaks.
The correct answer indicating the need for further instruction is B) "I will sleep for 1 hour at the halfway point of the trip." While rest is important during a long journey, especially for a pregnant woman, sleeping for a prolonged period, especially during a car trip, poses risks. This statement raises concerns about the safety of the mother and the unborn baby.
Firstly, prolonged periods of sitting, especially in a sedentary position like driving, can increase the risk of blood clots, particularly in pregnant women who already have an increased risk due to changes in blood circulation during pregnancy. Secondly, falling asleep while driving is extremely dangerous and can lead to accidents, endangering not only the mother and her unborn child but also other passengers and drivers on the road.
The other options demonstrate appropriate precautions:
A) "I will be sure to wear the car seat belt while traveling." - This is a crucial safety measure to protect both the mother and the baby in case of an accident. However, the seat belt should be worn properly, with the lap belt positioned under the abdomen and the shoulder belt between the breasts and to the side of the belly.
C) "I will drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration." - Staying hydrated is important during pregnancy, especially during long trips, to prevent dehydration and maintain overall health.
D) "I will take frequent rest breaks every 2 hours." - Taking regular breaks during long car trips is essential to stretch the legs, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of blood clots. It also allows the pregnant woman to walk around and relieve pressure on her back and legs, which can become uncomfortable during extended periods of sitting.
While rest is important during a long journey, advising the pregnant woman to sleep for a prolonged period during a car trip poses significant risks to her and her unborn child. Instead, emphasis should be placed on taking regular breaks, staying hydrated, and wearing the seat belt correctly to ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby.

Which human body systems are involved in thermoregulation
Final answer:
The integumentary, nervous, and cardiovascular systems collaborate in thermoregulation, with the hypothalamus acting as a body temperature thermostat that initiates responses like sweating and shivering.
Explanation:
The human body systems involved in thermoregulation include the integumentary system, the nervous system, and the cardiovascular system. The integumentary system, which includes the skin, works closely with the sympathetic nervous system to monitor body temperature and initiate motor responses such as sweating. The sweat glands secrete water, salt, and other substances to cool the body when it becomes too warm. The nervous system, particularly the hypothalamus in the brain, acts as a thermostat to regulate body temperature by initiating reflexes for vasodilation, vasoconstriction, shivering, and sweating. The cardiovascular system collaborates with the skin to either lose or conserve body heat through these mechanisms. Additionally, during an infection, pyrogens reset the hypothalamus to a higher temperature to help the body fight off the infection through a fever.
Thermoregulation, the process of maintaining a stable body temperature, involves several human body systems. The integumentary system, which includes the skin and its accessory structures, plays a crucial role in thermoregulation. Through sweat glands, the integumentary system helps to cool the body by secreting sweat that evaporates and dissipates body heat. The nervous system, specifically the hypothalamus, acts as the master switch to regulate body temperature by initiating processes like vasodilation or vasoconstriction, shivering, or sweating. Lastly, the cardiovascular system works with the skin to either lose or conserve body heat through vasodilation or vasoconstriction.
Final answer:
Thermoregulation involves the integumentary system, sympathetic nervous system, and circulatory system. The integumentary system regulates body temperature through sweat production, while the sympathetic nervous system monitors body temperature. The circulatory system helps dissipate heat through blood flow to the skin.
Explanation:
Thermoregulation involves multiple human body systems, including the integumentary system, sympathetic nervous system, and circulatory system. The integumentary system, which consists of the skin, helps regulate body temperature through its association with the sympathetic nervous system. When the body becomes warm, sweat glands are stimulated to produce sweat, which cools the body when it evaporates from the skin surface. The circulatory system also plays a role in thermoregulation by regulating blood flow to the skin, allowing for the dissipation of heat.
Levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are directly related to the frequency of coronary heart disease.a) true b) false
Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
Blood conducts cholesterol from the intestine or liver to the organs that need it and does so by binding to particles called lipoproteins. There are two types of lipoproteins:
Low density (LDL): they are responsible for transporting new cholesterol from the liver to all the cells of our body.
High density (HDL): collect unused cholesterol and return it to the liver for storage or excretion abroad through bile.
According to this interaction we can talk about two types of cholesterol:
Bad cholesterol: Cholesterol when attached to the LDL particle is deposited in the wall of the arteries and forms atheroma plaques.
Good cholesterol: Cholesterol when attached to the HDL particle transports excess cholesterol back to the liver for destruction.
- If their blood levels rise they produce hypercholesterolemia. It is shown that people with blood cholesterol levels of 240 have twice the risk of having a myocardial infarction than those with figures of 200.
- When the cells are unable to absorb all the cholesterol that circulates in the blood, the excess is deposited in the wall of the artery and contributes to its progressive narrowing causing atherosclerosis.
- If an atheromatosis patient keeps his blood cholesterol levels very low, he can get that cholesterol from the arterial wall back to the blood and be eliminated there. Therefore, patients who have suffered myocardial infarction or brain accident are recommended to maintain very low cholesterol levels to try to clean their arteries.
Hypercholesterolemia has no symptoms or physical signs, so its diagnosis can only be made by a blood test that determines cholesterol levels and also triglycerides. It is convenient that people at risk of having a dyslipidemia (alteration of the normal levels of these fats), who have relatives with ischemic heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases, undergo this test from an early age.
It is true that high levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol are directly related to an increased risk of coronary heart disease. LDL, or 'bad' cholesterol, contributes to the buildup of plaque in arteries, leading to atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, while HDL, the 'good' cholesterol, helps reduce heart disease risk.
Explanation:Levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol being directly related to the frequency of coronary heart disease is indeed true. Research shows that low-density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol), often termed as “bad” cholesterol, facilitate the build-up of plaque in the arteries—a process known as atherosclerosis. This can lead to coronary artery disease, where the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked, potentially resulting in heart attacks. Conversely, high-density lipoproteins (HDL cholesterol), or “good” cholesterol, help in reducing the risk of heart disease by transporting surplus cholesterol back to the liver.
Furthermore, lifestyle factors such as unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, and smoking can exacerbate the increase in LDL cholesterol and decrease in HDL cholesterol. To maintain heart health, it is advised to keep the LDL levels under 100 mg/dL and the HDL levels above 40 mg/dL for men and 50 mg/dL for women. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential in controlling cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The range of cattle egrets has expanded between 1937 and today. How would an ecologist likely explain the expansion of the cattle egret?
A) the first egrets to colonize South America evolved into a new species capable of competing with the native species of herons and egrets
B) A habitat left unoccupied by native herons and egrets met the biotic and abiotic requirements of the cattle egret transplants and their descendants
C) There are no predators for cattle egrets in the New World, so they continue to expand their range
A habitat left unoccupied by native herons and egrets met the biotic and abiotic requirements of the cattle egret transplants and their descendants
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The cattle egret was a species of Heron to be first seen in Greater Caribbean Basin. They acquired their name “Cattle egret” as they were found to be co-existing with the grazing cattle and feeding on the insects that come out during grazing and also feed on the ticks present on the cattle’s body.
The cattle egret within a span of few years showed a dramatic increase in its population. This was attributed by their high reproduction rate leading to their extensive population growth. They also do not have any predators devouring them. They also feed on anything and everything to survive be it insects, rodents or small reptiles. They were good flyers and they were also able to get accustomed to their surroundings and reproduce.
Final answer:
An ecologist would attribute the cattle egret's range expansion to the species finding suitable biotic and abiotic conditions in new habitats, the role of human activities in their spread, and possibly the introduction of new genotypes that thrive in different conditions. (Option B)
Explanation:
An ecologist would likely explain the expansion of the cattle egret's range by considering factors such as habitat suitability and the role of human activities in spreading species. Option B describes a situation in which cattle egrets found suitable biotic and abiotic conditions in new areas unoccupied by native herons and egrets, enabling them to establish and expand their population. Human transportation of goods and intentional organism trade have facilitated species introduction into new ecosystems, often providing them with environments lacking natural predators, allowing these species to thrive and spread further.
Moreover, the introduction of new genotypes to an existing population of a species can result in a sudden range expansion if these genotypes are better adapted to the local conditions. This has been seen in cases like the brown anole in Florida or the European green crab, where new genotypes introduced into the population contributed to their successful spread.
During filtration, anything that is small enough to pass through all three layers of the filtration membrane will become part of the filtrate. Sometimes, the least porous layer of this membrane becomes clogged and then glomerulonephritis may occur. What is the name of the most porous layer of the filtration membrane?A. fenestrated endotheliumfB. iltration slitsC. capsular epitheliumD. visceral epithelium
Answer:
The correct answer is B filtration slits.
Explanation:
The glomerulus part of the nephron of kidney play a significant role in the filtration of urine.
Glomerulus contain basement membrane that consist of filtration slits between specific cells known as podocyte cells that carry out the filtration function of the glomerulus.
