The best answer is E) All of the above.

The littoral zone is the region where the land meets a body of water, and although the exact definition can vary, it generally includes land that is always dry and a region that is always submerged. A and B more or less say the same thing, and both describe the littoral zone. It almost always features vegetation (think of plants growing out of marshes and near/in the shore of rivers and lakes). It stabilizes the soil by providing a more gradual transition from land to water. For example, an area that only the high tide of the sea reaches will feature some chemical composition of the sea bed, such as more water and salinity, and some of the land further inland.

Answer:

C. The substance does not directly harm tissues and is not a pathogen, but nevertheless triggers an inflammatory response.

Explanation:

When a person is allergic to a substance, his or her immune system recognizes a harmless substance, such as components in food, pollen, or dust, as a treat. As a consequence, it starts an immune response that leads to inflammation. The substance that starts the allergic reaction is called an allergen, and it is not a pathogen because it is not a real threat to the body since it does not infect cells. When the allergen enters the body, it binds to antibodies that are in contact with a special type of cell. These specific cells will release a substance known as histamine. Histamine will produce an inflammatory reaction affecting different tissues in our body. For example, it can make us sneeze, have a running nose, swelling parts of our body, have itchiness and redness, amongst others.

Question : T<span>he humpback whale can be seen off the coast of Alaska during the summer months, but is found as far south as California and Hawaii during the winter. Why would the humpback whale most likely spend the summer months off the coast of Alaska?

Answer : The humpback whale likes being in the cold like all other fishes.
The humpback whale is usually found around the coast of Alaska because it is a little colder over there. Then in winter it is found around Hawaii and California because the pacific ocean cools down and is not so hot anymore!
