The given question is incorrect. The correct question is:

Question: A metabolic bone disorder, particularly common in postmenopausal women, is called.......

1. osteoporosis.

2. lordosis

3. kyphosis.

4. osteitis

5. deformans.

Answer:

1. osteoporosis.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis refers to the decreased bone mass and the resultant increased susceptibility to fractures. Women of older ages are more likely to be affected as a result of decreased levels of estrogens. Production of estrogens in women declines greatly at menopause. Estrogens serve to stimulate osteoblast activity. Osteoblasts are the cells of the bones and serve to secrete the proteins of the bone matrix. This results in reduced bone mass after menopause in women and causes osteoporosis.

A team of scientists is studying the fossils in the cross-section of rock shown below. Between which two layer of fossils can se

Naily [24]

Answer: A) Layers 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Secondary succession refers to when species of plants and animals come back to recolonise an area that was destroyed by a natural disaster of some sort or human activity that change the makeup of the area but somehow left it still capable of supporting life.

As the species that come during secondary succession come after the land has been destroyed so to speak, they would be the later species to arrive which would mean that when they died they would be the closest to the surface when their body decays.

Secondary succession would therefore most likely be observed between layers 1 and 2.
