Answer:
A reflex action is an automatic (involuntary) and rapid response to a stimulus, which minimises any damage to the body from potentially harmful conditions, such as touching something hot. Reflex actions are therefore essential to the survival of many organisms.
No. porque creo que una cosa no tiene que ver con la otra.
1. Depth: The water level in the Great Salt Lake fluctuates from year to year. Water levels drop and salinity increases when less water flows into the lake than usual. Not only that, but the wetlands dry up and the shoreline recedes. The reason the shoreline shifts so dramatically is because it sits at the bottom of a broad and relatively flat basin. For a visual example, think of pouring water into a plate versus a bowl.
Salinity: This Great Salt Lake has a high mineral content, as most terminal lakes are, which means that it is quite salty. Even the fresh water flowing into the lake contains small amounts of dissolved minerals. As water evaporates from the lake, the minerals stay behind. As a result, these minerals have accumulated to very high levels because they have been left behind for thousands of years. The Great Salt Lake is between 3.5 and 8 times saltier than the ocean. However, the organisms that survive in such saline conditions have adapted to their surroundings through special features.
Temperature: The Great Salt Lake has a very shallow depth, with an average of 14 feet deep and a mere maximum of 33 feet. This means that a lot of the surface area is exposed to the air, and is at the mercy of its seasonal temperature fluctuations. In the summer, rise to more than 80 degrees Fahrenheit while falling to below freezing in the winter.
2. Depth: Salinity drops and lake levels rise during high precipitation years. Wetlands get covered by salt water, and the shoreline expands, sometimes destroying wildlife habitats and killing sensitive vegetation.
Salinity: <span>Changes in lake elevation are accompanied by changes in salinity. The salinity in the lake decreases as incoming fresh water dilutes the salt water. This happens during the wet years. During dry years, however, salinity increases as continued evaporation removes fresh water.
</span>Temperature: Because of the lake's salt high content, the water doesn't usually freeze. However, as the temperature drops during the winter, less saline zones freeze solid, and most of the lake turns into a vivid pea-soup green color. In mid-March, temperatures begin to rise again as brine shrimp begin hatching. By late April, juvenile, and adult brine shrimp fill the water, serving as food for migrating and breeding birds.
3. Brine shrimp are smaller in highly salty water and larger in less salty water. Also, salinity levels also affect the rate of sexual development. Higher salinities produce adults who reach maturity quicker but are shorter in length. As salinity increases, the abdomen becomes longer relative to body length. Low salinity may also cause cysts to crack prematurely, as well as allowing other competitors into the ecosystem. High salinity results in offspring that develop quickly but are smaller and have a relatively longer abdomen. In short, effects of abiotic conditions on brine shrimp are development rate, the rate of sexual maturity, the overall length of the abdomen, amount/type of food available, cyst density and location.
4. One limiting factor of brine shrimp are predators: corixids that consume brine shrimp, grebes that consume brine shrimp and their cysts, and humans that commercially harvest brine shrimp cysts. Another limiting factor for brine shrimp is cooler temperatures. They<span> are much more productive in warmer water and consume more phytoplankton. However, when the lake water temperature is cold, the shrimp population tends to decline. </span>
Ultimate control of testes development is by the hypothalamus which secretes Gonadotropin-Releasing hormone.
Hypothalamus is the one that send signals to your pituitary gland to produce Gonadotropin, which will determine how much testosterone your body produce. which will directly impact testes Development.
