Chemicals extracted from certain sponges have been used in the treatment of cancer patients. Which of the following could be con

sidered a negative impact on the ocean environment from this type of biotechnology?
In the process of extracting the chemicals needed for the medicine, sponges will release toxins which harm the environment.
Humans may kill too many sponges, impacting the ocean environment in order to extract more of the chemicals.
Sponges provide habitats for other marine organisms, so killing them could harm the environment.
Sponges regenerate, so extracting these chemicals could cause the sponges to overpopulate and have a negative impact on the marine environment.

Answer:

B. Humans may kill too many sponges, impacting the ocean environment in order to extract more of the chemicals.

Explanation:

A and D are incorrect so it comes down to B and C. B is more correct than C because it is more detailed and has a better explanation while C is too vague. I also took the test and this came out as correct.

PLEASE HELP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. What 2 factors affect organisms and their habitats, and give examples of each
Grace [21]

Answer:

There are two categories of these factors: abiotic and biotic. Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of the environment that can often have a major influence on living organisms. Abiotic factors include water, sunlight, oxygen, soil and temperature.

Explanation:

Biotic factors are interactions associated with living organisms. They can also influence the distribution of organisms in an ecosystem. grazing - too little leads to dominant plants outcompeting other species, too much reduces species numbers overall. Both decrease biodiversity.

Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting factors restrict the growth of populations. They help determine the types and numbers of organisms able to exist within an environment.

What is phrenology, and what role did it play in the development of ideas about brain localization?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Hello YOU!

Explanation:

Phrenology was a science of character divination, faculty psychology, theory of brain and what the 19th-century phrenologists called "the only true science of mind."Phrenology came from the theories of the idiosyncratic Viennese physician Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828).

Gall believed that the bumps and uneven geography of the human skull were caused by pressure exerted from the brainunderneath. He divided the brain into sections that corresponded to certain behaviors and traits that he called fundamental faculties. This is referred to as localization of function.

Phrenology is considered pseudoscience today, but it was actually a vast improvement over that era's prevailing views of personality. ... But phrenology may be undergoing a redemption of sorts. Not the skull part—that's still considered bunk.

Phrenology was particularly popular in the U.S. because it fit so well with the idea of the American dream–the notion that we can accomplish our goals despite a humble heritage. Spurzheim believed that the brain was like a muscle that could be exercised.
