The cane toad was a failure as a biological control method in Australia because:
-The greyback beetle it was supposed to be eating fed at the top of the sugarcane stalks (which were 6-8 meters in height). Cane toads cannot fly or climb and therefore couldnt feed on the beetles.
-The beetles were out during the daytime, and cane toads feed at night.
-The two species are not seasonally compatible (aren't in the same place at the same time of year).
-The toads needed moist conditions to survive, and so moved away from where they were supposed to be.
-The cane toad eats many native species and often out-competes native species for food and breeding sites, leading to the decline of natives.
-Breeding habits made the cane toads a very invasive species.

Which type of epithelium is composed of multiple layers, including an apical layer containing tall, slender cells?
Mademuasel [1]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • Simple squamous
  • Simple columnar
  • Pseudostratified squamous
  • Stratified squamous
  • Stratified columnar

Answer:

Stratified columnar

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue is the tissue formed by the cells which form a layer of cell and lines the lumen of the organ and also covers the organs. The epithelial tissue can be classified based on the number of layer and shape of the cell.

In the given question, the shape of the cell is slender and are tall therefore are called columnar. The cells form more than one layer or multiple layers therefore form stratified layers.

Therefore,  the epithelial tissue formed by these slender shaped multiple layers is known as the stratified columnar layer. The stratified columnar is present in the respiratory tract and the digestive tract.

Thus,  Stratified columnar is the correct answer.

How many kilometers above sea level would this mountain reach, and what would the approximate temperature be at this altitude?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

It would be about 9 kilometers above sea level, and you can expect the temperature to be cold. (see explanation)

Explanation:

If there's no snow or rain and you’re not in a cloud, then the temperature decreases by about 5.4°F for every 1,000 feet up you go in elevation. That is 9.8°C per 1,000 meters. However, if you’re in a cloud, or it is snowing/raining, the temperature decreases by about 3.3°F for every 1,000 feet up you go in elevation. Thus meaning it’s a change of 6°C per 1,000 meters.
