How is a tendon different from a ligament? A. A tendon joins a bone to a bone; a ligament joins a muscle to a bone. B. A tendon
joins a muscle to a bone; a ligament joins a bone to a bone. C. A tendon covers a bone; a ligament supplies nutrients to a bone. D. A tendon supplies nutrients to a bone; a ligament covers a bone.
B is correct. A tendon will join a muscle to a bone, and a ligament joins a bone to another bone. I think of it this way, partly influenced by my biology teacher:
- The achilles tendon, at the back of your foot, clearly joins foot to calf muscle - The word ligament comes from 'deligare' in Latin, which roughly means to tie together. A ligament 'ties' two bones together
Random dispersion occurs with dandelion and other plants that have wind-dispersed seeds that germinate wherever they happen to fall in a favorable environment.
Clumped dispersion is seen in plants that drop their seeds straight to the ground, such as oak trees, or animals that live in groups, such as schools of fish or herds of elephants.
Clumped dispersions may also result from habitat heterogeneity. If favorable conditions are localized, organisms will tend to clump around those, such as lions around a watering hole.
The green leaves of the plant convert the available solar energy into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis which s responsible for giving green pigment to the leaves.
The stomata present on the leaves are used for exchanging gases, they give out oxygen and take or absorb carbon gas. As carbon dioxide is exalted by animals and is taken by plants.
