Answer:

Cartilage rings of trachea have protective role

Explanation:

Trachea is a tube, part of the respiratory system, which allows the passage of the air: from larynx to lungs (primary bronchi). It is enveloped with cartilage rings that prevent collapse of the trachea when there is no air. The cartilage "rings" are C-shaped, except one full ring-shaped - the cricoid cartilage which attaches trachea to the larynx.

A group of small fish live in a lake with a uniformly light-brown sandy bottom. Most of the fish are light brown, but about 10%

<h2>Proportion of mottled fish </h2>

Explanation:

  • A predator can be defined as an organism that makes the other organisms die to obtain them as food. Prey is the living being which is typically inferior and killed by the predator. Adaptation is a change in the physiology, morphology and genetic makeup of the organism which makes it suitable for survival in an unfavorable environment. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of the organisms which exhibit better traits over the others
  • The population of the mottled fish is likely to increase due to natural selection. As the mottled fish color pattern match with that of the mottled background of the bottom of the lake. This will help the mottled fishes to camouflage the predator wading birds. These mottled fishes will remain undetected from the predator wading birds. The trait of the mottled pattern will be adapted by the light sandy brown fishes and the trait will be passed on the next generation as well. Hence, the proposition of the mottled fish will increase
  • Hence, the right answer is "the proportion of mottled fish will increase over time"

What happens in animal cells when mineral concentration is high and low in solution
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Diffusion occurs when there is movement of minerals from an area of higher to lower concentration, till equilibrium is obtained.

Whereas Osmosis is the movement of solvents rather then the solute, from a solution of lower to a solution of higher concentration with the help of semipermeable membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of substances from area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration of minerals, which mainly results in animal cells. Whether solute or solvent, diffusion occurs for both. Diffusion does not requires any semi permeable membrane. Diffusion occur in all state of matter, that solid, liquid and gas, whereas osmosis occurs only in liquid state. Osmosis requires semipermeable membrane and rate of which is related to concentration of solute dissolution in solvent medium. Only movement of solvent medium takes place. Classical example of osmosis is exhibited by cell membranes of animal cells. On the other hand diffusion is the spreading of perfume or fragrances to the external air.
