If we had no cilia in our trachea, our lungs would be filled with dust and microorganisms that we breathe in.
Answer:
Photosynthetic autotroph
Explanation:
Plants, algae/seaweed and some bacteria can use photosynthesis to turn light energy, carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The glucose, or sugar becomes the food for these organisms.
Since they can produce their own food, they are called producers, but they are also called autotrophs. "Auto" meaning self, and "troph" meaning nutrition. Therefore, the correct choice is: Photosynthetic autotroph.
Answer: Crossing-over allows the genes that come from each parent to recombine before they are passed on to future generations because chromatids of homologous chromosomes mate and exchange sections of their DNA.
Explanation:
Chromosome crossing-over is the process by which chromatids of homologous chromosomes mate and exchange sections of their DNA during prophase I of meiosis, when pairs of homologous chromosomes, or of the same type, are aligned. The chromatids of the homologous chromosomes break off in the chiasmas and rejoin to allow recombination of the linked genes. So it occurs when regions at chromosome breaks mate and then reconnect to the other chromosome. <u>The result of this process is an exchange of genes, called genetic recombination</u>.
This allows the genes that come from each parent to recombine before they are passed on to future generations. Then, <u>it is an important source of genetic variability</u>, since it involves an exchange of segments between homologous chromosomes during the development of gametes. <u>This process allows that the descendants of an individual are genetically very different</u>, since it is very unlikely that an individual produces two equal gametes, because all of them have different segments of the homologous chromosomes.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
The way x-rays are produced is as follows; using a vacuum environment in a tube, the cathode is heated to a degree where it releases electrons, then these electrons collide with the anode releasing energy that create the x-rays.
All of the options are correct. Although the electron most likely won't stop, it will slow down and change direction after the collision. The law of conservation of energy is also applied in this situation, meaning that the kinetic energy of the electron released by the cathode will transfer to the anode to produce the x-rays. Most of the energy after the collision is converted into heat, which is why the metal used as the anode can heat up to 2000 degrees celcius.
I hope this answer helps.
An herbivore would belong to the second trophic level in an ecosystem. An herbivore is an animal that eats only plants, making it a consumer at the second level. The first trophic level is always made up of producers, or organisms that undergo photosynthesis such as plants.
