Answer;

-Chitin is a structural carbohydrate that forms their exoskeleton


Explanation;

-Chitin is the main component in the exoskeletons of arthropods and crustaceans and is also in the cell walls of fungi.

-It is a linear long chain polymer consisting of repeated units of N-acetyl-glucosamine.

-The main function of the chitin-containing exoskeleton is to keep the inner soft tissue safe from any sort of injury and also prevents the delicate tissues from drying (acts as a water tight barrier against dehydration).

Describe how nitrogen cycles between hydrosphere and lithosphere
Mrac [35]
<h2><u>Please </u><u>mark </u><u>BRAINLIEST</u></h2>

Explanation:

Like carbon, nitrogen has its own biogeochemical cycle, circulating through the atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere (Figure 5). ... In this symbiotic association, the bacteria become encased in nodules that grow on the roots of plants, through which nitrogen that has been fixed by the resident bacteria is obtained.

What is the probability of a homozygous recessive individual (ss) producing a gamete with a dominant allel (S)?
Ainat [17]
The probability that a homozygous recessive individual would be producing a dominant allele would be 0%. If expressed as a percentage, this is because the individual does not even have the possible allele in its genotype for whatever trait or feature that the protein codes for.

The oceans cover about 70 percent of the Earth's surface. Ocean water contains salts and we say that ocean water has a certain s
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The salt in the oceans comes from weathering and the erosion of the earth's crust.

Explanation:

The weathering can be described as the breaking down of rocks.

During the weathering of rocks, minerals will be dissolved from the land and salt is one of them. These minerals (salt included) will then be delivered into the oceans by erosion of the Earth's crust.

Erosion can be aided by wind, ice or water. Erosion removed weathered materials. When these weathered materials are removed, new materials (rocks) will be exposed to weathering thereby promoting continuous weathering processes

Acidity in human sweat is an example of _____. Acidity in human sweat is an example of _____. acquired immunity adaptive immunit
Tpy6a [65]

Acidity in human sweat is an example of<u> </u><u>innate immunity</u>

Explanation:

Sweat arising from human skin is acidic in nature with a pH ranging between 4.5 to 7.

As part of innate immunity, the skin acts both as a physical barrier and chemical shield.

As part of chemical shield, the skin’s sebaceous glands present on the skin produces an oily substance called sebum which contains free fatty acids. Further, hair follicles on skin releases lactic acid which bind with the amino acids of the proteins present on the keratinized layers of skin. The acidity of the sweat is due to the combined action of free fatty acids, lactic acid and the amino acids present on the skin.

This natural acidic nature of skin creates a hostile acidic environment to pathogens which prevents their entry into the body.
