Sclera refers to the white, outer layer of the eyeball. It is tough, fibrous membrane which helps to maintain the spherical shape of the eyeball. It is a protective tissue.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The sclera form white part of eye and also surrounds the cornea. The sclera forms over 80% of the eyeball surface area. It coverage extends from the cornea to the optic nerves and exits the back of the eye.

Sclera can also be defined as the connective tissue of the eyeball. The thickness of sclera ranges from 0.3 millimeter to 1.0mm. It is made up of small fibers of collagen, which are organized in interlacing and irregular bundle.

There is a limited blood supply into the sclera and it is relatively inactive metabolically. Although there are blood vessels that pass through sclera to other tissues but the sclera lacks blood vessels and it is considered avascular.  

Functions of sclera

  • The sclera as well as the intraocular pressure of the eye helps in maintains the shape of the eye.
  • The sclera is tough and fibrous in nature, and also protects the eye from any damage. It protects damages such as rupture or laceration from external trauma.
  • The sclera provides attachment for extraocular muscles, which control the eye’s movement.

Explain how thermal energy causes changes in states of matter on earth. Is precipitation on earth possible without thermal energ
hoa [83]

Matter can change from one state to another when thermal energy is absorbed or released. A great example is Ice having its state changed to the liquid that is WATER. When ice is heated, it absorbs thermal energy and its temperature rises. At some point, the temperature stops rising and the ice begins to change to water, a liquid. As we all know, The change from the solid state to the liquid state is called melting.

Up until now, no characteristics or qualities have been assigned to the predators and prey. Suggest a trait of the prey and a tr
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Predator foraging traits include;

  • body size (mass or length),
  • gape size,
  • hunting or foraging mode (for example, ambush or active hunting), and
  • feeding mode (for example, chewing or suctorial) .

Prey vulnerability traits include;

  • body size (length and mass),
  • body shape,
  • defense (for example, physical or chemical protection),
  • ability to avoid detection (crypsis or camouflage),
  • mobility,
  • ability to recognize and detect predators, and
  • evasive or escape behavior (which can be elicited by physiological trait responses.

But whether or not predators engage with prey, or prey respond to predators in the first place, depends fundamentally on their relative body sizes (or predator gape and prey body shape). Pursuing prey that are too large or cumbersome can be harmful or energetically costly to predators, and pursuing prey that are too small may not be worth the energetic return.

As these populations continue to reproduce over time, the actions of natural selection can also change the species to make them better predators, or more defensive prey. Either way, this adaptation changes the entire predator prey dynamic. If one species cannot then adapt an appropriate defense, they may go extinct.

Explanation:

Hope it helps.
