Why are baboons, sparrows, and human beings considered both primary and higher order consumers?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Baboons, sparrows, and human beings are considered both primary and higher order consumers because they all eat plants and meat.
Primary consumers feed on producers/ plants. Then secondary consumers feed on primary consumers.

Brut [27]

Answer:

Q: Which skeletal system disorder might she be suffering from?

A: Osteoporosis

Q: What techniques could be used to diagnose her condition?

A: Bone mineral density (BMD) test or dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan

Q: What treatments are available?

A: Medication, healthy food.

Explanation:

The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to osteoporosis.

A bone mineral density test, also known as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses X-rays to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.

A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with medicine right away so that it stops further deterioration of the bones and avoid any future bone fractures. Further, it can be handled by eating a healthy diet and supplements such as vitamins D. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are already fractured, surgical approaches might be necessary.

What provides information about the body position with respect to gravity?

patriot [66]

Answer:

Centre of Gravity

The centre of gravity (COG) of the human body is a hypothetical point around which the force of gravity appears to act. It is point at which the combined mass of the body appears to be concentrated[1]. Because it is a hypothetical point, the COG need not lie within the physical bounds of an object or person. One subjective way (there are objective measures) to approximate the COG of an object is to visualise it balancing on one finger.

Centre of Gravity in the Human Body

In the anatomical position, the COG lies approximately anterior to the second sacral vertebra. However, since human beings do not remain fixed in the anatomical position, the precise location of the COG changes constantly with every new position of the body and limbs. The bodily proportions of the individual will also affect the location of the COG.

Which the following statements typifies tropical rain forests? A. They are usually composed of at least ten distinct layers, or

Novosadov [1.4K]

The right answer here is option C. They occur in areas with ancient, mineral-poor soil.

An example of that is Amazonia in Brazil, it's one of the biggest forests on earth, and at the same time, we know its soil is poor, but at the same time it has some special materials that can be found there, such as niobium. This forest is, too, rainy almost all the time, and this many trees maintain the temperature of the whole earth stabilized. These kinds of forests can grow in this soil because of the burlap, that's organic materials from its own trees. It's consumed by them, and through this way, it survives and extends its size when humans don't use its resources too much.
