Answer and Explanation:

As I don't have access to live butterflies, the control group would be clay models that do not exhibit warning coloration, e.g. beige / white / brown. In contrast, the experimental group would be the clay models that exhibir a strong warning coloration such as color orange / red.

After preparing the clay 'prey', I would locate them in specific places outside where birds are able to detect them. Moreover, I would use a webcam to monitor the recurrence of birds in the area.

1st experiment: Test whether birds approach the prey that exhibits both warning coloration (experimental group) and dull coloration (control group). Then, record the minutes they spent wandering near the prey.

2nd experiment: Test wheter birds feed on the prey that exhibits both warning coloration (experimental group) and dull coloration (control group). Record time.

Carry out statistical analyses.

Present results and discuss.

Two people are exercising at a gym. Person X notices a burning sensation in several muscles, while person Y does not feel any di

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Person X is feeling a burning sensation in several muscles because of the accumulation of lactic acid due to inadequate oxygen in their system. When oxygen becomes inadequate during exercises, anaerobic respiration takes place to augment the oxygen shortage and this leads to the production of lactic acid which accumulates up in the muscles and gives a burning sensation.

$C_6H_1_2O_6 --> 2C_3H_6O_3$

Person Y does not feel any burning sensation in their muscles because oxygen is adequate in their system and they do not need to respire anaerobically. Person X exercise regime must have been more rigorous than that of person Y.

What is the other name for the planetary accretion model?

Ivanshal [37]

The correct answer is option C, Planetesimal assembly

Accretion is the assembling of particle to form a massive object by virtue of gravitational attraction. Most of the celestial objects are formed by the accretion process. Planetesimals is an important step in the formation process of planet which involves the accumulation of dust and ice particles. Thus Planetary assembly work on the same principal of planetary accretion model and hence it can be stated as another name of planetary accretion model

What could be a possible explanation for the length of a giraffe's neck?

hoa [83]

Answer:

Due to adaptation and evolution, the giraffes' neck has evolved to be extremely long. As we know, giraffe's tend to eat leaves from higher up branches in the trees. Since few mamals are able to reach up that high, they have more food.

To put it simply, a giraffe's neck has evolved to be so long due to their food choices.
