Biology

Ivanshal [37]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes, because a mutation can help an organism survive in a particular environment.

Explanation:

Mutations refer to the random changes in the genome of the organisms. A mutation can be beneficial, harmful or neutral for an organism. If a mutation imparts certain features to the individuals and helps them to survive under the prevailing surroundings, the mutation is said to be beneficial.  

For example, the mutation that resulted in antibiotics resistance in the bacterial population was beneficial as it helped the bacteria to survive in the presence of antibiotics.

During the _____ phase of selye's theory of stress, considerable energy is expended to adapt to the stressor.
mina [271]

According to Selye's theory of stress, during the condition of the stress, the body undergoes the general adaptation syndrome, which occurs in three stages. These three stages are fight or flight, resistance reaction, and exhaustion.

The flight or fight reaction is stimulated by the hypothalamus. It results in the excitement of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. The resistance reaction is caused by the hormones released by the hypothalamus; this is long lasting and provides ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules for the counter reaction to the stress.  

As the result of use of ATP and other energy resource from body during the resistance reaction, the body becomes deprived of energy. This causes the exhaustion in the body.  

So, the resistance phase of the stress expands a considerable amount of energy, which causes exhaustion.

Explanation:

A conflict of interest is generated when the authors of a given study have any type of interest that could influence their judgments, results and/or conclusions. These conflicts of interest include any relevant financial relationships, personal, religious, political or intellectual interests. To solve this situation, peer-reviewed, well-reputed journals generally include a conflict of interest statement where authors declare all interests that might be perceived as conflicting.

Primary consumers depend on energy from plants for survival. Higher consumers depend on energy from primary consumers for surviv
Anni [7]

The correct answer is - B. The number and type of plants in an ecosystem determines the number and type of consumers that can live there.

The plants are producers. They are the basis of the ecosystems on Earth. By consuming the plants, the consumers are able to survive and thrive, thus the food chain develops further up to the predators that are consuming other consumers.

The number of plants and the type of plants determines what type and how many species of consumers can live somewhere. The more plants there are, the more food for the consumers, thus there will be more consumers. The higher the diversification of the plants, the higher the diversification of the consumers will be too, as every plant is unique and specialization for consuming it is needed, thus the consumers will evolve into new species in accordance to the food source.

Wind is
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
B makes the most sense because wind is constantly moving, and you can also use process of elimination. Wind has no pressure it’s only speed, so knock those out. Two air masses meeting would mean that they may have equal speeds against each other not really causing movement so it would be B. Hope this helps <3
