The ESA only protects the actual species listed for protection and does not include their habitat. True False

Answer:

This trend suggests that although the ESA does effectively protect habitat, it doesn't protect all parts of a species' range equally. Rather, the Endangered Species Act provides unique and more effective protection for habitat that happens to be on federal land.

What factor defines all groups in the Köppen system, with the exception of dry climates? evaporation precipitation air pressure

Liula [17]

Answer:

temperature

Explanation:

I choose temperature because it tells how hot,cold,dry and warm somethings are meanwhile evaporation is when water changes from liquid to gas,so that means water gets hot.

Precipitation is when water released from the cloud to form rain,freezing rain,sleet,snow,or hail.Which means thing get cold.

Air pressure also affect evaporation, which means that water will not be able to come up of the surface of a body of water.So that means the the pressure will be pushing down on the surface of the water.

Biologists sometimes say that “natural selection depends on the specific environment where a species lives.” What does this stat

denis23 [38]

Answer: Natural selection is one of the forces of evolution and the enviroment where the species lives is the selection agent. For example, suppose a mosquitoes population in a environment free from insecticides, in this environment there's a high frequency of non-resistant mosquitoes because the environment is not exerting any pressure on the resistence trait. But when the environment changes and we use a insecticide upon the mosquitoes population, the populations changes because the non-resistant ones die but those resistant survive and beggin to reproduce more effectively. That's natural selection, differences in survival and reproduction between individuals with different phenotypes (traits) and this differences depend of environmental changes.

When fixed carbon leaves the Calvin cycle or light dependent reactions, it will become the molecule G3P, which is then combined to make glucose. The rest of the carbon is recycled to replace RUBP.

Some of the nerve endings in the skin are sensitive to changes in temperature. They are part of a negative feedback mechanism re

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Answer is option A (receptor).

These nerve endings represent a receptor in the negative feedback mechanism.

Explanation:

Homeostasis in the human body is the tendency of the body to maintain its internal environment suitable for normal and optimal functioning by adjusting the changes occurring in internal variables such as body temperature, blood pressure, etc using feedback mechanisms. The two feedback mechanisms involved in homeostasis are positive feedback (the output of the system stimulates the system to increase the output further) and negative feedback mechanisms (the output of the system stimulates the system to decrease the output).

The various components in the feedback loop include;

stimulus - an initiation event that causes changes in a variable.

variable - a physiological factor that is kept at a normal range.

receptors - monitor the variable, detect changes in the variable value and report to control center.

control center - it compares the variable value to the normal range and if any deviation is found, the effectors are activated.

effectors - return the value to the normal range by making adjustments in the same direction (positive feedback) or opposite direction (negative feedback) of the stimulus.

In the body’s thermoregulation mechanism, a negative feedback loop is used in which the variable is body temperature. The nerve endings in the skin that are sensitive to changes in temperature are called heat-sensitive thermoreceptors. They detect changes in body temperature and produce nerve impulses that signal the hypothalamus in the brain. The hypothalamus is the control center that compares the body temperature with the normal range and activates and controls different effectors such as muscles, blood vessels, adrenal glands, sweat glands, etc. These effectors controlled by the hypothalamus perform certain physiological activities that can return the body temperature to normal range.

When body temperature drops, the hypothalamus activates and control the effectors such as blood vessels to constrict in order to decrease the flow of heat to the skin, muscles to shiver in order to increase the production of heat, adrenal glands to secrete hormones (norepinephrine and epinephrine) in order to increase metabolic rates and heat production. All these effects cause the body temperature to increase and return to normal.

When body temperature rises, the hypothalamus activates and controls the effectors such as blood vessels to dilate in order to increase the flow of heat to the skin, sweat glands to release sweat, which on evaporation cools the skin. All these effects cause the body temperature to decrease and return to normal.
