Answer:

(C) A difference in the mosquito’s ability to sense insecticide levels

Explanation:

In urban places, insecticides are widely used to fight insects such as mosquito. Some of the insecticides are normally poured in stagnated water  to kill mosquito larvae.

In the situation where two mosquito populations differ in their choice of water which they choose to lay their eggs. It shows one population has more ability to sense insecticide levels.

The other population has less ability that what causes it to lay their eggs in water treated with insecticide. Their larvae will be killed by the pesticide when they hatch.

This substance is made from glucose through glycolysis, and supplies energy to living cells through the krebs cycle when oxygen
Elena L [17]

We are tasked to find the substance that is made from glucose through glycolysis, and supplies energy to living cells through the Krebs cycle when oxygen is present (aerobic respiration), and alternatively ferments to produce lactate when oxygen is lacking (fermentation). Upon checking on the Glycolysis cycle, Kreb’s Cycle and fermentation, one common substance is present and called Pyruvate.

In the small intestine, fat-soluble nutrients are absorbed by? lacteals. chief cells. capillaries. bile.
viktelen [127]

The small intestine can absorb nutrients such as carbs, lipids, proteins, iron, vitamins, and water.

Nutrients that are fat soluble are kept in adipose tissues. The chylomicrons in the small intestine absorb these nutrients into the lacteals, where they are then carried through the lymphatic system and discharged into the bloodstream.

Small intestine villi that line the walls absorb nutrients into lymphatic lacteals and capillaries of the circulatory system. Capillary beds and lacteal-like lymphatic channels can be found in villi. The lacteals take in fatty acids from the chyme after it has been broken down.

Following that, nutrients are absorbed through the small intestinal wall. The fat-soluble vitamins enter the lymph vessels after absorption before moving on to the bloodstream.
