The correct answer is: the wail of a loud car alarm.
Sensory adaptation is a term that refers to the changes that stimuli can trigger on the sensory receptors. The process involves changes in the receptors' sensitivity and it is believed that all of the senses exhibit this adaptation. In particular, the sense of touch can quickly adapt to hot and cold stimulation, but not when the stimulus is extremely intense (such as too hot or too cold). Also, our olfactory sense presents the characteristic of odour fatigue. A prolonged exposure to a specific smell leads to a temporary inability to sense this smell and this is a type of sensory adaptation. Finally,
our hearing undergoes a sensory adaptation as well, but not when it comes to sudden, unexpected and instantaneous loud noises. That is why the wail of a loud car alarm will be the least likely to cause sensory adaptation.
If this were the case that magma would harden into rock therefore creating new crust
Answer:
The correct answer would be B) homologous.
Homologous organs refer to the set of organs which have different appearance and function but share common anatomy due to common ancestry.
For example, the forearm of human, forelimb of the horse, wing of a bat, wings of birds, and seal's flipper share common underlying anatomy. They are made up of same sets of bones (humerus, radius, ulna, carpels, metacarpals, and phalanges).
These organs are adapted to perform different functions in an environment.
It is also observed that these organs developed in the same manner in the embryo and from similar origins.
Answer:
Let's pick six liquids randomly, i.e. honey, corn syrup, whole milk, water, vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol, and put them in a beaker. The higher density liquid will take the bottom position whereas lower density liquids will be on above of high density liquids.
We know that honey has density (g/cm3) of 1.42, dish soap has 1.06, corn syrup has 1.33, milk has 1.03, water has 1.00 (standard), and vegetable oil and 0.92. Therefore, honey will be at the bottom most position (rank #1). Above which would be corn syrup (rank #2), dish soap (rank #3), milk (rank #4), water (rank #5) and vegetable oil (rank #6).
The results might be surprising for some students who think that water has highest density.
