Answer:

A. many shellfish are filter feeders that absorb toxins from the water is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • shellfish are filter feeders.
  • shellfish filter water by absorbing particles and toxins present in the water, they maintain the water quality by pumping the water with the help of their cilia that cover their gills.
  • Shellfish need a large amount of dissolved oxygen and their excess is a sign of the good quality of water.
  • There are different types of shellfish such as crab, clams, oysters, crayfish, and mussels.

thus option(A)  many shellfish are filter feeders that absorb toxins from the water is the correct answer.

If an individual has an ____________ rate of blood flow to the skin, such as would happen with emotion (such as embarassment) or
PtichkaEL [24]

If an individual has an <u>increased</u> rate of blood flow to the skin,such as would happen with emotion or alcohol consumption ,their skin takes on a <u>reddish</u> tinge.

Explanation:

Our skin is provided with a large number of  blood capillaries. These capillaries bring blood and nutrients to the layers of skin. Whenever vasodilation of these capillaries occur, the blood flow to the skin increases and the skin gets a reddish tinge.

During an emotional upsurge such as embarrassment causes the adrenal glands to release adrenaline.

Adrenaline as well as alcohol vasodilates the blood  vessels and increases the flow of blood to the skin. Hence, the skin gets a reddish tinge.

What heats up the fastest (in order) wet sand, rock, water, dry sand
dedylja [7]
The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.
