ANSWER:
(A) project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals.
EXPLANATION:
Option A (project be stopped to protect the ivory-billed woodpecker and all the other species of plants and animals) is most appropriate for a biocentric species egalitarian, because it provides equal rights and support for all forms of life without being baised on favoring sentient animals (animals who can feel and can be emotional).
NOTE: Species egalitarianism is the philosophic view that all living things have the same moral right and support and all forms of life have intrinsic value.
Answer:
1. Ends of the respiratory branches are called alveoli.
2. C. To control blood flow to different areas of the body depending on activities
Explanation:
1. The trachea divides into left and right primary bronchi which in turn divide multiple times upon entering the lungs and make the bronchial tree.
The final branches of the bronchial tree are the terminal bronchioles that lead to alveoli. The alveoli are the balloon-shaped structures and serve as the site of gas exchange between the blood and inhaled air.
2. The opening and closing of sphincters of capillary beds regulate the direction of blood flow. The opening of sphincters allows the blood to flow into associated branches of capillary beds while closed sphincters direct the blood from arterioles to venules via thoroughfare channel.
This local change in blood flow is responsible for the autoregulation of blood flow to different tissues to match their respective metabolic demands. For example, during physical activity, more blood is directed to skeletal and cardiac muscles.
Yes. Acid rain destroys frog’s and tadpoles’ (young frogs) habitat of lakes and depletes oxygen supply in the lakes.
Macroevolution can cause significant changes in the frequencies of alleles, that can ultimately result in speciation (forming of new species).
Various large-scale events like climate change and continental drift can greatly influence the distribution of species and adaptive radiation of different groups that can fill vacant ecological niches.
The changes in gene regulation and genetic mutations can also contribute to macroevolution by producing novel traits and adaptations.
