Answer:
1. Endocrine disrupters
Explanation:
Endocrine disrupters are chemicals that alters or interrupts the normal functioning of the endocrine system that consists of several glands that produce hormones responsible for various functions such as metabolism, reproduction, growth, etc. When this interferes with the endocrine system, it can bring about many undesirable consequences, one of which is low testosterone levels as reported in the Alligators in Florida lake that is polluted by high levels of dioxins. These chemicals act as endocrine disrupters.
Answer:
B) the mobility of their hosts
Explanation:
A pathogen that attacks an oak trees and a pathogen that attacks humans doesn't really have that big of a difference, but on the other side we can see that the pathogen that attacks the oak trees is spreading out much less and over much smaller territory than the pathogen attacking humans. The main reason behind this is the mobility of the host of the pathogen and where the host of it lives. In the case with the oak trees, the pathogen will be migrating very slowly over smaller distance because there's only certain places where the oak trees live, and also they are not mobile, and the pathogen will be able to spread out only through their seeds and cones which is a slow process. On the other hand, the pathogen attacking humans will manage to spread out very quickly over very large area because there are humans living in lot of places, their numbers are high, and their mobility is easy and quick over large distances, so the pathogen will travel with its host easily for hundreds or thousands of kilometers and then spread out in another place far away.
Answer: A. is a measure of energy
Explanation:
Heat is one of the easiest forms of energy that man can detect in your environment because we have the sensation of cold, hot, sweat, drink liquids when we feel hot, see the engine of a car heat up, take a bath of water heated by an electric shower or a boiler, etc.
Heat transfer occurs until the moment bodies reach the same temperature (thermal equilibrium). Heat is the energy transferred between a system and its surroundings because of the differences in temperatures.
Given that Sheena's ball is a sphere, its volume can be obtained by using the formula: V_ball = (4/3)*pi*r^3, where, r is the radius of the sphere. Since the ball is 24 cm across, this means that the radius is half of the diameter which is equal to 12 cm. Thus, the volume of the ball is equal to 7238.2295 cm^2.
