Between 2000 and 2013, fatalities from measles decreased by approximately 75%.

<h3>What do you mean by Measles?</h3>

Measles may be defined as an acute and highly contagious viral disease that is commonly caused by a single-stranded RNA virus known as measles virus.

Fatalities caused by measles in 2000 = 582,800

Fatalities caused by measles in 2013 = 145,700

Total differnce = 437100.

Now, the percentage = 437100/582800 ×100 = 75%.

Therefore, between 2000 and 2013, fatalities from measles decreased by approximately 75%.

You observe a small, nonpolar molecule near a membrane. how would this molecule likely transport across the membrane? you observ

yaroslaw [1]

It will transported across plasma membrane by simple diffusion. simple diffusion refers to a process by which molecules will pass across plasma membrane without the aid of channels located on the surface of the membrane. since the molecule identified was polar once it enter in hydrophobic region of the membrane it will not stick since this region is non-polar and therefore it will move easily across that region.

What behavioural adaptation does a desert fox have to help it survive in hot places

SIZIF [17.4K]

1. Their large ears help dissipate excess body heat on hot days in the desert. 2. The fennec fox seems to be the only carnivore living in the Sahara Desert able to survive without free water. Their kidneys are adapted to restrict water loss, their extensive burrowing may cause the formation of dew, which can then be consumed, and they will receive moisture from the food that they eat. 3. Their burrowing and nocturnal lifestyle helps restrict water loss. 4. Their thick fur helps insulate them from the cold desert nights. 5. Their sandy fur helps to reflect heat, and also provides excellent camouflage. 6. Fennec foxes also have thick fur on the soles of their feet, which insulate against the hot sand of the desert. This extra fur on the soles of their feet also affords them excellent traction in the loose sand.
