An area in a forest was cleared to build a road. Which two of the following will be likely effects on the ecosystem?

2 answers:

The correct answers are "Animals will migrate to other regions in search of food" & "The new species will evolve to survive in the deforested land".

Whenever an area in a forest is cleared up to build a road or because of any other reason the habitat of the animals residing there is destroyed. So, in search of food and alternate habitat the animals start to migrate to other nearby regions. The destruction of the natural habitat will lead to the accumulation of new traits in the species which are left in the forest leading to the evolution of new species which are well fitted to live in the new environment.

Rest of the options are wrong because if the forest area will be cleared then it will lead to the decrement of trees not increase. Also, adapting the changing environment is a long term change but here they are saying the animals will immediately adapt to the new environment so this option is also wrong.

Is chicken pox like really really bad acne?

RideAnS [48]

Well, no.

Chicken pox are contagious, and acne is not. Also you would be very sick if you had chicken pox.

In appearance, I wouldn't go as far and say that they are alike, or similar as Chicken pox spread across the whole body.

Hope this helps!

Why do lipophilic hormones require carrier proteins while being transported in the blood?

valina [46]

Lipophilic hormones, intuitive as the name suggests, tend to dissolve well in lipids/fats than they do in water. Therefore lipophilic hormone does not dissolve well in blood plasma which would affect their diffusion. The carrier proteins are mainly the serum albumins.

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by

Leto [7]

Answer:

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by removing carbon dioxide that is produced during respiration (third option).

Explanation:

The lungs are in charge of the breathing process, being the main organ of the respiratory system. Each lung is considered an excretory organ —belonging to the excretory system— since it is capable of eliminating the carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced by the metabolism during expiration.

As a result of the gaseous exchange, the oxygen entering the lungs through the inhaled air passes into the blood, while the CO₂ is removed from the blood. This CO₂ is removed during expiration, which makes the lungs part of the excretory system.

The other options are not correct because:

The excretory system does not introduce more oxygen into the lungs.
The circulation of blood in and out of the lungs is a function of the circulatory system.
Urine is not produced by breathing.
