Answer:
- Radial symmetry is advantageous because sessile animals can "sit down", take food, or sense harmful environmental conditions from different directions.
- Bilateral symmetry allows motile animals to move straight forward.
- The major evolutionary advantages of bilateral symmetry include cephalization, the formation of a head and tail area and a more directional motion.
Explanation:
Radial symmetry is advantageous for sessile organisms since it enables the uniform distribution of the sensory receptors around the body. In consequence, sessile organisms can react to environmental stimuli from every direction. On the other hand, bilateral symmetry allows motile organisms the arrangement of a specialized nervous system from the anterior end of the organism (i.e., the 'head'). Moreover, another important advantage of bilateral symmetry is the ability to equalize environmental pressures on both sides of the body, thereby enabling a rectilinear motion.
Answer:
A) Surface-active agents, or surfactants, decrease surface tension among molecules of a liquid.
B) Phenolics exert antimicrobial activity by injuring lipid-containing plasma membranes, which causes the cellular components to leak out of the cell.
C) Alcohols exert their action by denaturing proteins and dissolving lipids.
Explanation:
Chlamydia is a disease transmitted by sex with someone infected. Its caused by bacteria and often is asymptomatic.
Treatment is with antibiotics, and it's essential to know if one is infected because in women can cause infertility, and in males can cause urethra complications like inflammation and obstruction.
D. Proteins help control substances by making trans-membrane channels.
