The researchers present unshelled northern and southern periwinkles to northern and southern crabs in the second experiment to test if either population of periwinkles was unpalatable to either population of crabs.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The researchers picked up crabs and periwinkles from the northern and the southern location of Gulf of Maine. Then an individual crab was inserted into hutch companied with 8 size variable periwinkles. Following four set-ups were organized, where crabs involved were of both gender but not size variable and these set-ups were analyzed 12-14 times:

  • Northern crab and periwinkles
  • Southern crab and periwinkles
  • Northern crab and southern periwinkles
  • Southern crab and northern periwinkles

After three days of experiment conclusion drawn was: southern crab killed more number of northern periwinkles when compared with rest three set-ups. While second is northern crab and northern periwinkles, third is southern crab and periwinkles and fourth is northern crab and southern periwinkles.

Now, same set-ups as above was organized but with unshelled northern and southern periwinkles and conclusion researchers found that crabs catered themselves with all unshelled periwinkles within 1 hour to test if either periwinkles population was unpalatable to either crabs population.

Write a description of at least one real-life problem that has to be solved or decision that has to be made using good judgment,
Sergeu [11.5K]

An example that I would give of a situation in which a real-life problem has to be solved or a decision has to be made using good judgement would be the case of deciding what to study in university:

<em>"When I had to decide what I was going to study, I immediately put journalism out of my mind, as I believed it did not suit my personality. Even though I loved writing, I had always imagined that journalists had to be aggressive, </em><em>overconfident</em><em> and pushy, and that news only happened in other, more interesting places. I could not see how that could fit me. The school counselor I talked to kept telling me that this was not the case, but my </em><em>belief perseverance</em><em> would not let me listen to other information. In the end I decided to go for accounting. I believed that accounting was only about boring numbers, and for the first few months, I was responsible of </em><em>confirmation bias</em><em>, as that was the only thing I noticed about my studies. However, over time, I grew to like the path I had chosen, and I do not regret it."</em>

Why did farming spread to north Africa
Llana [10]
Africa is a continent of great size, almost 12 million square miles or
about three times the size of the United States. Most of it lies in the
tropics and, although we often think of Africa in terms of its rain forests,
less than ten percent of the continent is covered by tropical forests, and
those are mostly in West Africa. Much of the African surface is covered by
savannas, or open grasslands, and by arid plains and deserts. In geological
terms, the continent is really formed by a series of high plateaus broken in
the east by the Great Rift valley and the mountains that surround it. Large
rivers - the Congo, the Nile, the Zambezi, and the Niger - begin in the
interior of the continent and flow to the sea over great falls and cataracts
that mark the passage from the plateau to the coast. These falls have
historically made movement from the coast to the interior difficult, but the
great river systems have also provided the interior of Africa with routes of
communication.

_____ represents the commonly held societal beliefs that define what is socially gratifying within a specific society.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

a. Consumer network

b. Consumer advocacy

c. Consumer culture

d. Consumer awareness

e. Consumer base

And this is the correct answer:

c. Consumer culture

Explanation:

Consumer culture explains the way consumers spends their income on goods and services according to price, need, and preferences.

In advanced nations, consumer culture is a defining aspect of society because these economics are mostly based on private consumption.

Because in advanced nations, incomes tend to be higher, people do not always buy something because it is cheap, or because they need it to stay alive (for example, food).

In fact, in these countries, people often buy products out of pure desire, in order to gratify themselves, and satisfy a need of higher order (the need for status, the need for social acceptance, or the need for self-actualization).
