Answer:

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

Explanation:

  • shellfish are filter feeders.

  • 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.

Lelu [443]

The right answer is Calcium


99% of the calcium is located in the bone, ensuring the skeletal strength and the hardness of the teeth.

In children and adolescents, it promotes bone growth; in young adults, it participates in the maintenance of bone capital; in the elderly, it contributes to the prevention of osteoporosis.

Beside the bone, calcium has other functions like blood coagulation, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, activation of certain enzymes.

Adequate calcium intake - consistent with the recommended dietary intakes - would have a preventive effect against high blood pressure.

Can the change in cyclin concentration during mitosis be explained by the fact that the cell divides in two and thus divides the
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

No, because cell division is expected to decrease not only the net amount of cyclin molecules in daughter cells but also the volume of these daughter cells compared to the original parent cell, and therefore the concentration should be nearly equal.

Explanation:

When a cell divides to produce two daughter cells, the cell components including its previously duplicated genetic material (DNA), organelles, signaling molecules, fatty acids (lipids), proteins, etc., are distributed into daughter cells. These daughter cells have a smaller volume compared to the original parent cell. In consequence, the concentration of cellular components (including cyclin proteins) should be similar between parent cell and daughter cells.
