How has fish adapted to its environment to minimized water resistance?

Biology
2 answers:
miskamm [114]3 years ago

Fish breathe by drawing water in their mouths and forcing it out of the body via a number of gill slits. The gill slits are rich in blood vessels, enabling the direct absorption of oxygen. While all fish have gills, some fish are also able to extract oxygen from the air via gulping.

Most fish have swim bladders that are permanently sealed, but other fish have swim bladders that can hold varying amounts of air. Salmon have open swim bladders, and they must gulp air at the surface to keep them full. Some fish, such as sharks, lack swim bladders entirely. This causes them to sink if they do not maintain forward motion.

Fish have fins that are adapted to their lifestyle. Some have evolved into long, barbed structures, suitable for defense. Other fish have fins suited for achieving great speed or for walking along the bottom of the ocean.

Why are the oxygen cycle and the carbon cycle typically combined together into one cycle?
levacccp [35]

Solution:

The series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels. And the oxygen cycle is a biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of oxygen within the earth's three main reservoirs which are the atmosphere (air), the hydrosphere (water), and the lithosphere (land).

Both mix in one cycle because of these:

The C2 oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle plus the C3 reductive photosynthetic carbon cycle coexist. Both are initiated by Rubisco, use about equal amounts of energy, must regenerate RuBP, and result in exchanges of CO2 and O2 to establish rates of net photosynthesis, CO2 and O2 compensation points, and the ratio of CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere. These concepts evolved from research on O2 inhibition, glycolate metabolism, leaf peroxisomes, photorespiration, 18O2/ 16O2 exchange,CO2 concentrating processes, and a requirement for the oxygenase activity of Rubisco .

What change could cause an Apple hanging from a tree branch to fall? A. Loss of gravity B. Loss of a sideways force on the left
Zolol [24]

D. Loss of the upward force opposing gravity

Explanation:

A hanging apple from a tree branch will fall when it loses the upward force opposing gravity. The force of gravity is directed towards the center of the earth and it pushes all bodies downward.

 On the apple, the forces acting on it are:

  • downward force of gravity
  • Upward force holding it by the fruit stalk.

According to Newton's first law "a body will remain in it's state of rest or uniform motion unless an external force acts on it "

  The apple is initially at rest when the force of gravity equals the upward force :

    Force of gravity = Upward force

The two forces acts in opposite direction and cancel out.

When the downward force is lost by stalk holding the fruit, gravity wins and the fruit falls;

    Force of gravity - Upward force = Net force = falling of the fruit

In case we push up the fruit, the upward force overcomes and it moves upward:
