Answer:

An organism that eats another organism is called a consumer.

Explanation:

In food webs, consumers are characterized by not being able to produce their own nutrients, having to acquire them from the consumption of other living beings.

Consumers are found from the second level of the food web and can be primary consumers, or herbivores, and secondary, tertiary or even quaternary consumers, who are carnivores.

The other options are not correct, due to:

a. Vertebrate : which has an internal skeleton, of a bony or cartilaginous nature.

c. Invertebrate: lack of internal skeleton and spine

d. Embryo: is the product of fertilization, whose development occurs in the uterine cavity or inside an egg.

HELLPP! ITS BIOLOGY

larisa [96]

Answer:

So that in a guinea pig cross in the offspring the recessive trait —long hair— can be observed in 25%, the most probable genotype of the parents is heterozygous Ss.

Explanation:

In guinea pigs, for the characteristic hair length, short hair is the dominant allele and long hair is the recessive one.

In order for 25% of the offspring to express the recessive characteristic, the parents must have a recessive genotype, which can be seen in Punnett's Square:

P: Ss X Ss

Alleles S s

S SS Ss

s Ss ss

Where the offspring is:

50% Ss with short hair phenotype
25% SS with short hair phenotype
25% ss whose phenotype would be long hair.

According to this, heterozygous parents for the characteristic long hair in guinea pigs have a 25% chance of having offspring with long hair.

Which is NOT a critique of neuroscience?

D. Brain activity doesn't necessarily cause behaviour just because they coincide.

Explanation:

Neuroscience is the study of the neurons. This deals with how the nervous system develops, the structure of the nervous system and its actions.

Neuroscientists are focusing on the brain and its impact on cognitive functions and behaviour.

Scientists proved that the chemicals present in the brain are responsible for our general state and mood that we are going through. Damage of brain cell will affect our impulses and the impulsive behaviours.

Proteoglycans are a group of macromolecules formed from: a. proteins and glycosaminoglycans. b. proteases and glycosaminoglycans

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Proteins and polysaccharides.

Explanation:

Proteoglycans are heavily glycosylated proteins. These proteoglycans are present in the extracellular matrix of the animal cells and acts as a lubricant for the cells.

Proteoglycans are proteins that are covalently bonded with muco polysaccharidse. Proteoglycans are formed by the bonding between proteins and carbohydrates ( polysaccharides). Proteoglycans can combine with collagen to form cartilage and may affect the stability of a protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).
