Well it really depends on what kind of change there is. For this I'll use a drought as an example. If a drought occurs in an area the plant life and vegetation will start to die off in that area. From there, primary consumers would run out of food. then secondary consumers, and so forth and so on. it'd be like putting a cow in a field of dirt with no food and a large bucket of water. Eventually the cow will die of starvation. Now apply this to all of the animals in that ecosystem.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of cancer cells?

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

B. They have a single small nucleus.

Explanation:

The presence of large nucleus is a characteristic feature of cells that frequently undergo cell division. Cancer cells are characterized by uncontrolled continuous cell division even when the new cells are not required by the body.

This leads to the formation of benign or metastatic tumors. To undergo continuous cell division, the cancer cells have a large nucleus. The nucleus of the cancer cells is mostly hyperchromatic and distinct due to higher nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. It allows these cells to exhibit the uncontrolled cell division.

Do you think that the soles of of your feet or the back of your neck has the greater concentration of sensory receptors

mars1129 [50]

The soles of people’s feet have a greater concentration of sensory receptors because more people are ticklish on the bottoms of their feet than the backs of their necks. There are more neurons in your appendages especially the ends of them because they are the furthest from the brain. Getting a tattoo on your feet vs. the back of your neck hurts more as well, making the soles of your feet have the greater concentration.

Explanation:

In times of drought, there would be a reduction in the metabolic activity of an organism.

Most organisms found in very dry climates have adaptation to accommodate a period of drought.
Water is essential for the metabolic processes in an organism.
A deficiency of water will reduce these life activities.
The organism can become inactive as a result of this.
