N the United States and Canada, bats use one of two strategies to survive winter: They either migrate south, or they hibernate.

Recently, those that hibernate seem to have come under attack by a fungus, Geomyces destructans (Gd), an attack that is occurring from Missouri to southern Canada. Many infected bats have a delicate, white filamentous mat on their muzzles, which is referred to as white-nose syndrome (WNS). The fungus invades the bat tissues, causes discomfort, and awakens the bat from its hibernation. The bat fidgets and wastes calories, using up its stored fat. The bat then behaves abnormally, leaving its cave during daytime in winter to search for food. Their food, primarily insects, is scarce during the winter, and the bats ultimately starve to death. Since 2007, it is estimated that up to one million bats have perished from WNS.
The Gd mat on the fur of the bats should be expected to consist of _____.

Answer:

Hyphae

Explanation:

It is given that the bat affected by fungus, Geomyces destructans (Gd) consists of delicate, white filamentous mat on their muzzles which could be possibly the hyphae.  

It is so because the hyphae is made of cells having tubular cell walls which more or less look like internal cross-walls having large pores to absorb nutrients from the surrounding environment (i.e bat’s body) and transport them to thallus. Hyphae are basically long thread like structures that spread throughout their food and release enzymes that break down the food

The autonomic nervous system _____.
Mademuasel [1]

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system _____.

A. controls involuntary actions

The nervous system is subdivided into; the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, within the vertebral column; and the peripheral nervous system, which includes nerves that branch into the rest of the body from the brain and spinal cord. Nervous tissue responds to electrical impulses, allowing for communication between different regions of the body.

The peripheral nervous system is further divided into the somatic nervous system responsible for carrying out sensory and motor information between the peripheral nervous system- including sensory organs like the eyes; and central nervous system; and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which regulates involuntary bodily functions like heartbeat, breathing and blood flow. The ANS is mainly acts unconsciously and affects smooth muscle and internal organs. It is related to homeostasis- where the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc.

Kai has a see-through glass tank with air, plants, and animals that eat those plants. He sealed the tank so no material can get
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1. Carbon is moving from the living things in the tank into the air when they respirate, and from the air back into plants via photosynthesis

2. The amount of carbon in living things is increasing as plants use the carbon in the atmosphere, and animals eat the plants.

Explanation:

According to the question, a well sealed tank contains air, plants and animals. Since light can get into the tank, plants can perform photosynthesis. Living things in the tank release carbon in form of carbondioxide (CO2) gas through respiration. Plants then make use of this carbondioxide (CO2) to synthesize carbon-containing food (glucose) in the presence of sunlight. This process is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

Animals eat those plants and the stored carbon in the plants gets transferred to them. The animals release this carbon into the air again in the form of carbondioxide when they respire. Hence, carbon in the tank moves from the living things (respiration) into the air and back into plants (photosynthesis).

2. Since the amount of carbon in the air is decreasing, the carbon is being used by the living things in the tank. Plants absorb the carbon in the atmosphere for photosynthesis, then animals eat the plants to get the carbon. Therefore, the amount of carbon in the living things is increasing.
