The speed of a longitudinal wave will not be affected by the temperature of its surrounding. Base on the formula for the wave speed (applicable on longitudinal wave), wave speed ( speed in m.s 2) is equal to the distance of a wave (wavelenth in meter) travel over a unit of time (seconds) or wave speed is equal to distance of a wave times the frequency (hertz), temperature is not included in calculating the wave speed.
Native shellfish populations have dramatically decreased as they are outcompeted by the crabs, causing a decrease in biodiversity.
The answer is C. The brain stem controls blood circulation.
Answer:
D. the need for a surface area of sufficient area to allow the cell's function
Explanation:
Many cellular functions such as the exchange of substances and respiratory gases, absorption of nutrients, cell-cell communication, etc. require the cells to have a sufficient surface area. A small cell has a larger surface area to volume ratio and therefore, maintains a higher rate of exchange of substances. As the cell increases in size, the surface area grows less than its volume. Therefore, the surface area required to perform the cellular functions puts an upper limit on the cell size.
Cells maintain the required surface area by dividing and/or by developing folding or projections on the surface. For instance, the cells in the wall of the small intestine require to maintain a higher surface area for nutrient absorption. Therefore, the cells of the wall of the small intestine develop microvilli to have a larger surface area which in turn supports a relatively higher rate of absorption.
