Pectinate muscles are parallel ridges in the walls of the atria of the heart. The name is due to their resemblance to the teeth of a comb (pecten). The heart is the organ pumps blood to all parts of the body. It is made up of four chambers, that is, right and left ventricles, left and right atria, and the blood vessels, Pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, aorta, and venacava. An auricles are pouch like structure that increase the total filling capacity of the atrium and also increase the volume of blood that an atrium is able to contain.
Answer: option A - threat, after habitat loss, to native species of plants and animals and to the maintenance of biologically diverse ecosystems
Explanation:
Invasive species refers to organisms that appears at a particular habitat that has just undergone an environmental unfavorable condition.
These INVASIVE SPECIES poses THREAT to the native organisms, because they usually possess:
better resistance to disease,
higher reproductive rate, etc.
So, even when native organisms migrate or dies, Invasive species REMAINS. As a result, they threaten the maintenance of a biologically diverse ecosystem
Answer:
False
Explanation:
This is because the concentration gradients of certain atoms or compounds aren't impacted by the presence of other atoms or compounds

If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.
Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.
As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
