The ecology question above says : A fast swimming strong body fish such as a swimming which is adapted to clear fast and strong
Dafna11 [192]

Correct question:  A fast swimming strong body fish such as a <u>salmon</u> which is adapted to clear fast and strong water current would most likely be found in which aquatic zone? Options in the attached file

Answer:

Source of a river zone

Explanation:

The fishes body is directly correlated with their environment and the pressures they receive from it. Those animals that are used to living in clear waters, with fast currents must be very strong, must have a hydrodynamic torpedo-like body and big and strong caudal fin to propel against the currents. These animals are used to living in water masses such as the source of a river zone.

Rivers belong to lotic environments, characterized by constant moving water.

  • Profundal zone: Sunlight can not reach this zone, so there are no plants. The Water movement is very limited, and in most cases, water is not clear.
  • Littoral zone: Is the transition zone, near the shore, where the light easily reaches the bottom. Usually, there is plenty of vegetation fixated to the bottom.
  • Wetland zone: In general these are calm water, very rich in diversity, and a proper breeding area for a wide variety of fish.
  • Source of a River zone: Rivers flow from higher to lower areas. They originate at the top of the mountains and fastly descend to finally end in a lake or in the sea.

Some species of salmons characterize by living in the sea during sexual maturity, but whenever they need to breed, they go back to the area where they were born. This is in sweet water. They swim in the river until they reach the place where they are going to oviposit. In order to do this, they need to swim against the current. Many times, females die trying to reach this special place.

_The endplate potential (EPP) at the frog neuromuscular junction occurs because ACh simultaneously increases the conductance of
Hoochie [10]

Complete question:

The endplate potential (EPP) at the frog neuromuscular junction occurs because ACh simultaneously increases the conductance of the postsynaptic membrane to Na and K

  • True
  • False

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The Acetylcholine neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic cell by the process of exocytosis.

Once the molecule is in the intercellular space, it moves forward the postsynaptic membrane to join its receptor in the motor plate.

Once the joining has occurred, the receptor acquires a channel shape allowing the ion transference that will make possible the modification of the action potential. Ions traffic will consist of the pass of sodium and calcium to the interior of the cell and potassium to the exterior. Quantitatively, the interchange Na-K is the most significant.

K+ follows a concentration gradient, while Na+ follows an electrochemical gradient. The interchange results in an increase of positive charges in the interior of the muscular cell.

Whenever there is a sufficient number of Acetylcholine receptors are active, the depolarization threshold of the motor endplate is exceeded. This activates an action potential that extends to the rest of the muscle membrane.

What are 5 major results of global climate change ​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Change Will Continue Through This Century and Beyond

Global climate is projected to continue to change over this century and beyond. The magnitude of climate change beyond the next few decades depends primarily on the amount of heat-trapping gases emitted globally, and how sensitive the Earth’s climate is to those emissions.

Temperatures Will Continue to Rise

Because human-induced warming is superimposed on a naturally varying climate, the temperature rise has not been, and will not be, uniform or smooth across the country or over time.

Frost-free Season (and Growing Season) will Lengthen

The length of the frost-free season (and the corresponding growing season) has been increasing nationally since the 1980s, with the largest increases occurring in the western United States, affecting ecosystems and agriculture. Across the United States, the growing season is projected to continue to lengthen.

In a future in which heat-trapping gas emissions continue to grow, increases of a month or more in the lengths of the frost-free and growing seasons are projected across most of the U.S. by the end of the century, with slightly smaller increases in the northern Great Plains. The largest increases in the frost-free season (more than eight weeks) are projected for the western U.S., particularly in high elevation and coastal areas. The increases will be considerably smaller if heat-trapping gas emissions are reduced.

Changes in Precipitation Patterns

Average U.S. precipitation has increased since 1900, but some areas have had increases greater than the national average, and some areas have had decreases. More winter and spring precipitation is projected for the northern United States, and less for the Southwest, over this century.

Projections of future climate over the U.S. suggest that the recent trend towards increased heavy precipitation events will continue. This trend is projected to occur even in regions where total precipitation is expected to decrease, such as the Southwest.

More Droughts and Heat Waves

Droughts in the Southwest and heat waves (periods of abnormally hot weather lasting days to weeks) everywhere are projected to become more intense, and cold waves less intense everywhere.

Summer temperatures are projected to continue rising, and a reduction of soil moisture, which exacerbates heat waves, is projected for much of the western and central U.S. in summer. By the end of this century, what have been once-in-20-year extreme heat days (one-day events) are projected to occur every two or three years over most of the nation.

Hurricanes Will Become Stronger and More Intense

The intensity, frequency and duration of North Atlantic hurricanes, as well as the frequency of the strongest (Category 4 and 5) hurricanes, have all increased since the early 1980s. The relative contributions of human and natural causes to these increases are still uncertain. Hurricane-associated storm intensity and rainfall rates are projected to increase as the climate continues to warm.
