Species richness increases Select one: a. as we increase in altitude in equatorial mountains. b. as community size decreases. c.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

D) as we travel southward from the North Pole.

Explanation:

Species richness is the number of different species in a particular community. If we found 30 species in one community, and 300 species in another, the second community would have much higher species richness than the first.

Communities with the highest species richness tend to be found in areas near the equator, which have lots of solar energy (supporting high primary productivity), warm temperatures, large amounts of rainfall, and little seasonal change. Communities with the lowest species richness lie near the poles, which get less solar energy and are colder, drier, and less amenable to life. This pattern is illustrated below for mammalian species richness (species richness calculated only for mammal species, not for all species). Many other factors in addition to latitude can also affect a community's species-richness.

_____ is the main provider of energy for the brain and nervous system.

defon

Glucose is the main provider of energy for the brain and the nervous system. Because the brain is so rich in nerve cells, or neurons, it is the most energy demanding organ, using one half of all the sugar energy in the body. Brain functions such as memory, thinking and learning are closely linked to glucose levels and how efficiently the brain uses this fuel source.

Isovolumetric relaxation and ventricular filling (two phases of the cardiac cycle) take place during __________. Isovolumetric r

Helga [31]

Answer:

Option B, ventricular diastole

Explanation:

Ventricular diastole also termed as ventricular relaxation consists of two phases. In the first phase, the following set of events takes place –

a) Relaxation of ventricle muscles

b) Reduction in pressure of blood within the ventricles

c) As this reduced blood pressure gets lower than that of pressure with in the pulmonary trunk and aorta, blood starts flowing back towards the heart.

d) A small dip in the blood pressure is observed at this stage

e) Volume at this stage remains constant as the atrioventricular valves remain closed

f) This phase is known as isovolumic ventricular relaxation phase

In the second phase, the following set of events takes place –

a) Relaxation of ventricular muscle

b) Dropping of pressure of the blood within the ventricles lower than that of pressure of blood in the atria

c) Blood starts flowing from atria into the ventricles thereby opening the tricuspid and mitral valves

d) Both the heart chambers chambers are in diastole,

e) Atrioventricular valves are open

f) Semilunar valves remain closed

Hence, option B is correct
