Biomass is a way to describe the overall amount of living organisms in an area. Using the figure below, choose the most likely r

eason for the decrease in biomass with an increase in depth and distance from the coast.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "there is a reduction in the availability of nutrients away from the cost, which decreases primary production. Fewer producers and energy are available, leading to a decrease in biomass".

As we move in depth and distance from the coast the availability of sunlight decreases.  

Thus, the number of primary producers would decrease as they would be unable to perform photosynthesis.

Consequently, the number of nutrients available at that depth would be very less as compared to the coast.

Hence, the carrying capacity of the region would be less which ultimately decreases the biomass.

Answer:

Looking at tibetan highlanders who thrive at high altitudes- normally that would make us sick- they have adapted, 60% oxygen- could pose huge health issue (live with 10% less oxygen in blood than us)

Explanation:

Evolutionary adaptations- involve a change in the genetic makeup to help individuals survive in environment. Tibetans have adaptations to let them function at high altitudes

Structure moves up against epiglottis when food is swallowed to prevent passage of food into it.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The larynx moves up against epiglottis when food is swallowed to prevent passage of food into it.

Explanation:

The epiglottis is a moist, cartilaginous structure that is part of the cartilaginous skeleton of the larynx. It also marks the boundary between the oropharynx and the laryngopharynx. The epiglottis obstructs the passage of the bolus at the time of swallowing preventing it from going to the respiratory system.

Larynx closure occurs when the vestibular and vocal folds approach the midline during swallowing. Occasionally, when you eat very fast, solid foods or liquids can enter the larynx.
