Answer:
The given statement is True.
Explanation:
Scala media has endolymph as its constituent and endolymph is rich in Potassium ions (K+)
whereas
Scala tympani and scala vestibuli has in its composition Perilymph and Perilymph has sodium ions as their major constituent ions.
Therefore, scala media is Potassium ion rich while scala tympani and vestibuli are sodium ion rich.
Answer: Bacterial cells can be genetically modified so that they have the gene for producing human insulin. As these modified bacteria grow, they produce human insulin.
Explanation:
C) neurons - nerve tissue - brain - central nervous system - human being
The correct answer would be D, gravity. As moving water will cause rocks to erode as well as wind, and animal habitation.
Answer:
These structures that protect the sponges from most predators, but not turtles, are spicules.
Explanation:
Sponges <em>skeleton</em> is composed of <em>calcium carbonate and siliceous</em> micro-structures called <u>spicules</u>. Their morphology is so varied that it is used in taxonomy for identification and classification.
There are different kinds of spicules:
- <em>Monoaxonic spicule</em>: needle-shaped, straights or curves
- <em>Tetraxonic spicules:</em> they have four prolongations
- <em>Triaxonic or Hexaxonic spicules</em>
- <em>Poliaxonic spicules </em>
Two terms can be applied to any of these spicules kinds:
- <em>Megaspicules</em>: They are elongated and compose the main architecture of the sponge skeleton
- <em>Microspicules</em>: Variable in shape and size, with ancillary functions
Sponges have few predators thank to the spicule structures and their high toxicity. Many of them are capable of perforating soft tissues and producing urticant substances.
