Answer:
Modified apocrine sweat glands
Explanation:
The ceruminous glands are similar to sebaceous glands, belonging to the group of sweat glands. These glands secrete a sticky material, the ear wax, that protects the thin skin lining the ear canal.
As soon as a dust, dirt or an insect enters the ear canal at the beginning of the ear wax, the wax retains, wraps and pushes it outside the ear canal.
This secretion is lubricating as well as acidic, which helps to kill potentially harmful bacteria and fungi in the ears.
Answer:
C. All plankton are closely related to plants.
Explanation:
Plankton are organisms found in water that exist in a drifting state. They are too small or weak to swim on their own, so they let the current or tide carry them. They are usually microscopic but include larger species as well, such as some crustaceans and jellyfish.
Phytoplankton are autothrophic plankton. This means that they produce their own food. They are primary producers and closely related to plants.
Zooplankton are heterotrophic plankton, which means that they feed on other organisms. They are animals and aren't closely related to plants.
Nekton are organisms found in water that swim actively.
Based on this information, we can conclude that statement C is the only incorrect statement.
