Scientists have been concerned for several years about the bee population dying off. There are several theories about why their

population is being reduced. One of these theories is that the pesticides being sprayed onto plants are killing them. Which is the best solution to this problem?
A) Continue to use harsh pesticides to grow food. Bees are not vital to the ecosystem.

B) Ask scientists to create a genetically modified bee that is unharmed by harsh pesticides.

C) Encourage farms that produce food to only use organic pesticides that do not have as harmful effect on the bees.

D) Completely stop the use of all pesticides regardless of the effect this has on our food supply, and monitor the bee population to see if they start to come back.

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Encourage farms that produce food to only use organic pesticides that do not have as harmful effect on the bees. We need to safely manage pest control so as not to cause bigger problems.

The anserto this would be c, becuase it the most realistic and will work the best without tons of money being spent.  also, farmers will be mor elikely to comply if they are encouraged not forced

Check all that apply as characteristics of myelinated axons. Check All That Apply Myelinated axons transmit nerve impulses via c
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Myelinated axons utilize fewer voltage-gated channels than unmyelinated axons of the same length and diameter.

Myelinated axons are more energy efficient than unmyelinated axons.

Explanation:

Neurons are cells that specialize in transmitting messages to each other using a type of electrical signal. These signals carry information from outside your body to the brain, while others are the instructions for the various organs, glands and muscles to carry out functions.

Neurons receive these signals from other neighboring neurons through their dendrites. The signal then travels to the soma of the neuron, which is the main body of the cell, and finally<u> travels down the axon to the synaps</u>e (space between the end of a neuron and another cell). The axon is a neuronal extension through which the electrical signal travels, extending from the soma to other neurons.

<u>There may be layers of myelin, which consist of a layer of fat, covering the axons and where they have the function of acting as insulators to help keep the electrical signal inside the cell, which makes it move faster increasing the speed of transmission of the nerve impulse</u>.

1) Myelinated axons transmit nerve impulses via continuous conduction. FALSE. In the axon, nodes of Ranvier are found at regular intervals along the length of the axon in the myelin sheath that surrounds it. These are small spaces that expose the axon membrane to the extracellular fluid and serve to allow the nerve impulse to travel faster, in a jumping manner and with less chance of error.

2) Myelinated axons transmit nerve impulses in the same manner as unmyelinated axons. FALSE. In an unmyelinated axon, the movement of voltage across the membrane is due to ion flux that is limited by the time it takes for sodium ions to diffuse into the axon. Myelinated axons conduct faster because they are shorter than unmyelinated axons. In the latter, transmission is continuous but slower.

3) Myelinated axons utilize fewer voltage-gated channels than unmyelinated axons of the same length and diameter. TRUE. The action potential conduction jumps from node to node, thereby they need fewer voltage-gated channels. Unmyelinated axons need voltage-gated channels in along the entire axon.

4) Myelinated axons are more energy efficient than unmyelinated axons. TRUE. The rate at which sodium input through one node can depolarize the axon at the next node is related to the current and capacitance across the membrane. Myelinated axons have faster action potential conduction because it jumps from node to node, thereby they use less energy because they don't have to travel the entire length.

5) Myelinated axons would be unaffected by diseases that attack the CNS. FALSE. For example, Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the CNS in which the immune system attacks the myelin sheath or the cells.

Which of the following statements is false?Algae are used to make many commercial products, like marshmallows and paint.Algae ca
yarga [219]

Answer:Algae contributes to the phosphorus cycle

Explanation:Algae are organisms which have distinct chlorophyll and are autotrophic in nature .Most of them live in water.Algae include the Unicellular chlamydomanas and the multicellular sea weed.some algae are colonial and some are filamentuous.Algae possess chlorophyll, carotenoids and phycobillins as pigments.

Algae are important primary producers in the water bodies and produces a significant portion of oxygen.

Some algae eg diatoms are fossilized due to their glass cell wall and are known as diatomaceous earth, which has various uses such as abrasives,tooth paste and as filters.

Red algae produces calcium carbonate which forms coral reefs.

The products of some algae are used as solid gels and source of agar for microorganism culture.

What allows scientists to predict future climate change with some sense of accuracy?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Climate models can show the composition of the atmosphere in the future.

Explanation:

Climate models help predict how the average conditions will change in a region and they also serve as an extension of weather forecasting. They are quite broad and can make analysis and predictions over long time spans.

These models are generated from some set of mathematical principles with different data points numbering over a thousand. These large data points help increase the accuracy of the models.
