Biology

Marrrta [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The lungers refer to the fishes that sit and wait for their prey to come closer, while the cruisers are the fishes that move in bursts and attain a speed to follow and catch the prey, or one can state that cruiser actively look for prey like tuna.  

The lungers are generally cold-blooded, the temperature of their body is similar to their surroundings. They exhibit lower metabolic rate in comparison to cruisers. The lungers are large in size and possess fewer teeth so they prefer to swallow their prey rather than chewing it. Thus, endurance is low in comparison to cruisers.  

However, the mouth and lungs of lungers exhibit a powerful sucking system, which assists them in catching their prey from a distance. They exhibit heavy crushing plates within the pharynx and can dig deep into the sand. These characteristics of lungers help them to compete with the cruisers.

Tasya [4]

Cortical areas that are not primarily concerned with sensory motor or language functions are cortical associated areas.  

The cortex association areas are the areas, which perform the function of detection of stimulus, which cannot be easily detected by the help of the primary cortex.  

They are not directly concerned with the sensory and motor information. They are mainly responsible for the interpretation, integration, and generation of action on the information from other areas of cortex.

Can you describe how the motion and relative positions of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun affect tides?
Strike441 [17]
<span>"The moon is a major influence on the Earth’s tides, but the sun also generates considerable tidal forces. Solar tides are about half as large as lunar tides and are expressed as a variation of lunar tidal patterns, not as a separate set of tides. When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment, the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides."
