The answer is 'sensory adaptation'. This happens when your sensory system senses a constant stimulus. After a short while, your sensory system will respond less, and then won't respond at all. This is to allow adaption to your environment. For example, if you live above a subway system, you will eventually become used to the sound of underground trains and vibration, and eventually you won't notice it at all..

vredina [299]

Answer:

Presence or absence of cilia/stinging cells.

Numbers.

Retractability.

Number of cells.

Explanation:

Apart from size difference, tentacles in Cnidaria and Bryozoa differs such that:

  • <em>The tentacles in Cnidaria have no cilia surrounding them while those of Bryozoa are ciliated. Instead of cilia, the tentacles in Cnidaria have stinging cells.</em>
  • <em>Tentacles in Cnidaria are fixed in number while the number may vary in Bryozoa.</em>
  • <em>Tentacles in Cnidaria are often retractable while retractability is not possible in Bryozoa.</em>
  • <em>Cnidaria tentacles are made up of multiple cells while those of Bryozoa are made up of single cells.</em>

If polar is positive and non-polar is negative then why can’t a polar molecule pass through the non-polar phospholipid membrane
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Because of the chemical and structural nature of the phospholipid lipid by layer the lipid soluble molecule can just pass the lipid membrane and some small molecules can also pass freely.

Explanation:

as we know that the homeostasis is an important process for a  living cell to maintain it self so for the the exchange of materials between the external and internal environment is must so for that it exchange material with the outside environment of the cell.as the cell membrane is semipermeable(mean allow some molecule to pass(lipid soluble) and not others(lipid non soluble) to pass through the membrane.the cell membrane is selectively permeable due to its nature and chemical composition the chemical composition is lipid and  phosphate and glycerol(head) with fatty acid that may b saturated or unsaturated(tail).so finally all those molecule which are polar can not pass through the membrane and  non polar can pass the membrane.The size of the molecule is also a factor on which the permeability depends.

In what layer of the earth are fossils found?
Vadim26 [7]

Fossils can be found in the Earth's crust.

The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth. The fossils are most probably be found in this layer because it is the outermost layer. Also, the deeper the layer of the Earth, the higher the temperature that it has, and it probably cannot preserve the fossil.
