Biology
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Eratosthenes was the first to propose a system of longitude between 260 - 201 B.C. Greek astronomer Hipparchus was the first to use longitude to define a location (along with latitude). Longitude lines run from the North and South Poles and are measured by one arcdegree. These lines are called meridians. Unlike latitude, longitude was not able to be determined until the 18th century as a result of difficulty. The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England marks zero degrees longitude. Longitude was accepted after the 18th century after it was able to be determined and measured by mathematics.

Explanation: Hope this helps! If you have any further questions, let me know.

What could happen if a person doesn’t get the proper amount of protein in his or her diet?
NISA [10]

Protein deficiency can cause muscle cramping, weakness, and soreness. If you aren't consuming enough protein, your body will start to take protein from your skeletal muscles, which will lead to your muscles wasting over time.

Connell's famous barnacle experiment was initiated to learn more about ________.
bulgar [2K]
Connell's famous barnacle experiment was initiated to learn more about competitive exclusion and distribution of branacle species. Barnacle species are distributed in distinct zones on the rocky shores of the Atlantic coast. The Chthamalus in upper intertidal zone; is a smaller species and the semibalanus in low intertidal zone which is a larger species. Chthamalus found in the higher physical stress and higher temperatures because the low tide levels causes them to be exposed to the extreme outside environment for longer periods of time than the semibalanus. Additionally barnacles can only feed while submerged and the higher up shore a barnacle is, the less it can feed and grow. The experiment wanted to understand why they lived this way.
