Biology
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It slows down the entry of heat through the walls and ceiling.  

Explanation:

Insulation is a poor conductor of heat.

Thus, it takes a long time for the heat of the sun's rays to penetrate to the inside of the building.

If the building was cool to start with, insulation will help it stay cool longer.

Conduction deafness occurs when sound waves cannot reach the fluids of the inner ear. Which one of the conditions below will not
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The conditions that will not cause conduction deafness is <em>damage to cochlear hair cells, </em>option B.

Explanation:

Conduction deafness occurs there is an alteration that blocks the transmission of sound from the external and middle ear to the inner ear. It is a mechanical problem in the ear canal or the middle ear.

The outer ear is the external portion that collects sonar waves and directs them to the inner ear. Three structures compose the external ear, these are the auditory pavilion, the ear canal, and the eardrum.  Damages in any of these parts might produce conduction deafness.

The middle ear is located between the eardrum and the oval window of the inner ear, to which it transmits sounds. the middle ear is composed of three little bones called ossicles, the oval window, the circular window, and the Eustachian tube.  Any damage or alteration in this area will also cause conduction deafness.

There are different causes of deafness, such as earwax plug, <u>damage in the eardrum,</u> otitis, traumatisms or malformations, tumors, outer ear infections, <u>imflamation</u>, fluid accumulation, among others. Any of these might impede the properly sound conduction, thus the sound can not reach the inner ear.

23. What biological term is best used to explain the color of leaves changing with the decreased in ambient UV light as seasons
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: a. Photo-periodism

Explanation:

The relative length of the day is considered as a major factor in the development of plants, particularly in sexual reproduction. The plants were grouped considering that the flowering and fruiting occurs only when the length of the day is within certain limits so that these phases are achieved only in certain times of the year. Therefore, some species respond to long days, while others respond to short days, and still, others are capable of responding to all day lengths. The name and meaning of each group became as follows:

Short Day Plants: They are the species that bloom in smaller photoperiods than a critical maximum.

Long day plants. These are the species that bloom in larger photoperiods than a critical minimum.

Neutral day plants: They are those that bloom in a wide range of the photoperiod.
