2 answers:
AveGali [126]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Plankton and Algae

Explanation:

Adult zebra mussels feed by filtering large amounts of plankton and detritus from the water. Each mussel can filter one liter of water per day! Zebra mussels thrive in nutrient-rich water which supports healthy populations of plankton.

Answer:

Explanation:

Zebra mussles thrive in environments made up of water where there are plenty of nutrients for them to survive off of. They need calcium for their hard outer shell. They feed by filtering plankton and watse or debris from the water in the whole body of water they live in. They also consume algae, little microscopic plants in lakes which contributes to the filtration of the body of water.

The paramecium has two nuclei, a big and small one. The big one operates as the director of the cell's activities, rather like a little brain. The smaller one is used for reproduction. The paramecium splits in half (fission) just as the ameba does. First the smaller nucleus splits in half and each half goes to either end of the paramecium. Then the bigger nucleus splits and the whole paramecium splits. Occasionally two paramecium exchange material and form a new paramecium. This is called conjugation. 

<span>Conjugation in Paramecia occurs in the following way: </span>

<span>a). The formation of ciliary contacts. </span>
<span>b). Local loss of cilia and formation of narrow contacts between anterioventral somatic cell membranes </span>
<span>c). Formation of small cytoplasmic bridges (which allow for the exchange of molecular components only). </span>
<span>d). Their enlargement enables the cells to exchange micronuclei. </span>

<span>Bacteria exchange plasmid material and the Paramecia exchange micronuclei.

Good luck to Steve! How is it in Neptune? XD</span>

During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

<em><u>Glycolysis produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH by oxidizing glucose.</u></em>

Explanation:

Glycolysis is an oxidation reaction in which glucose reacts with oxygen molecules and oxidized. By oxidizing glucose, it produces pyruvate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADH). Glycolysis has two phases. In the first phase, 2 ATP molecules are invested for the phosphorylation of glucose to break down into a simpler one. In the second phase of glycolysis, 4 ATP molecules are earned back with 2 NADH and a simpler form of glucose (6C) to pyruvate (3C) by oxidizing glucose.

As blood moves away from the heart toward the tissues, the relative size of blood vessels ________, the blood pressure ________,
KonstantinChe [14]
<span>As blood moves away from the heart toward the tissues, the relative size of blood vessels decreases, the blood pressure drops, and the velocity of blood flow slows.

The size of the arteries progressively decreases as they branch out from the major arteries of the body. Once the arteries are the size of the arterioles, the resistance to blood flow increases and velocity of blood flow slows then blood pressure drops.

Which of the following scenarios is representative of mutualism?
ycow [4]

<span>The correct answer is B. Bees pollinating flowers.</span>

<span>
In biology, mutualism is how two different organisms survive upon the activity of the other. Each benefits from the mutual relationship. In the case of bees pollinating flowers, both the bees and the flowers need something and benefit from the interaction with the other. </span>

"susan is consuming 70 grams of protein per day on her 2,000-kilocalorie-per-day diet. what percent of susan's diet is protein?"
nirvana33 [79]
The answer to this question would be: 14%
Protein will give a calorie about 4kcal/gram. Then, the total calorie of protein from Susan meal would be: 70 grams * 4kcal/g= 280 <span>kilo calorie</span>.
To find the percentage you will need to divide the total calorie diet with the protein calorie. The calculation would be:

protein percentage= protein calorie/ total calorie 
protein percentage= 280kcal / 2,000kcal = 14%
