To be injured by an animal with poisonous spines, you must: be the aggressor and touch the animal first.
<h3>What is the use of spines in animals?</h3>
- Spines are hard, needle-like anatomical structures found in both vertebrate and invertebrate species.
- The spines of most spiny mammals are modified hairs, with a spongy center covered in a thick, hard layer of keratin and a sharp tip.
- Spines on an animal’s body help defend it.
- They can be irritating or painful, or difficult to swallow.
- Spines are also important tools for communication, shock absorption, and rain protection.
- Animals like porcupine shoot their spines (quills) for defense. Some spines can also pass through gloves.
- To prevent attacked by an animal with poisonous spines you must remain calm and observe your surroundings.

Answer:
d. superior to the popliteal region
Explanation:
The lumbar region comprises five vertebrae of the back where the spine bends outward. This part of the spine is essential as it holds the majority of the body weight and also offers flexibility. The popliteal portion is situated at the backend part of the knee and forms the lumbar region at its superior segment. So, the correct answer is option d.
This is an example of negative feedback.
After a big meal, glucose levels in the bloodstream increases. The body recognises this change and goes through homeostasis, or the regulation of bodily state or internal environment.
The pancreas secretes insulin, which then binds to insulin receptors. This will result in the uptake of excess glucose from the bloodstream into cells and converted into glycogen to be stored in cells as energy storage molecules.
Since there is the counter effect of body (i.e. when blood-glucose concentration increases, the body sends a signal to decrease the blood-glucose concentration, this is called a negative feedback (instead of a positive feedback, which occurs if for e.g. the body signals cells to increase blood-glucose concentration even after blood-glucose concentration increased after a heavy meal).

Answer:
B. Sea stars are the prey of seagulls
Explanation:
Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).
Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism
Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey. For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)
Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite. Think of a dog with a tick. The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.
Incorrect answers (and why):
A. Sea stars do not eat seagulls
C. If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls. They do not.
D. A host is an organism that a parasite preys on. Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.
