<span>Composition. (We use the crust-mantle-core terminology to describe differences in chemical composition in Earth's interior. We use the lithosphere- asthenosphere terminology to describe differences the physical state and behavior. Note that the boundaries between layers with different compositions do not occur at the same depths as the boundaries between layers with different physical properties. For example, there is a change in composition when passing from crust into mantle. But there is no change in physical state or behavior at this boundary- the uppermost part of the mantle behaves in the same way that the crust does because it is still far enough below its melting temperature to be a rigid, brittle solid. The transition to a softer, more pliable solid occurs further down within the mantle and this change in behavior occurs with no change in composition.)</span>
Answer:
B. Both mussels and barnacles live in the tidal ecosystems.
Explanation:
Mussels are <u>small bivalve molluscs that are adapted to both marine and freshwater ecosystems</u>. Barnacles, on the other hand, <u>are arthropods that are adapted to marine ecosystems. However, both are adapted to shallow and </u><u>tidal</u><u> zones</u>.
Both organisms are small and have the capacity to live in tidal ecosystems where they thrive and play important ecological roles. For instance, barnacles are filtering organisms, which is extremely important for the food chain, and mussels filter out significant amounts of excess nutrients and metals, that is, they make the water more suitable and clean for organisms to live.
As they are both adapted to tidal ecosystems, this would be an example of an adaptation that allows similar species, in this case mussels and barnacles, to live in the same environment.
Answer:
The cell membrane is semi-permeable. It allows some molecules to enter easily inside the cell whereas some molecules are blocked from entering the cell.
Small, polar molecules and hydrophobic molecules enter easily through the cell membrane. But large molecules and ions cannot easily move inside the cell membrane.
A hydrophilic substance like the substance L mentioned in the question enters the cell membrane through the help of carrier proteins. The substance attached to the large protein might enter through active or passive diffusion but it can only enter the cell by attaching to carrier proteins.
The correct answer is - one-half.
In the past century, the deforestation of the rainforests in the world had been devastating, and it is estimated that approximately one half of the tropical rainforests have been destroyed.
The reason for the large scale destruction of the rainforests is mainly because of clearing space for agriculture and for spaces where the cattle can graze. Unfortunately, the people that live the regions where the tropical forests are, are not well educated as to how to manage the land, and a big problem is that the soil of the rainforests is only good for 2-3 seasons, because it spends and erodes very quickly. Because of that, people just continue to clear more and more of it, thus leaving destroyed forest and destroyed soil behind them, without taking in consideration the long term effects.
