d 6 tree species with a range of leaf lignin levels. Which of the following is a plausible prediction for your study?
A. The biomass of leaf litter bags will increase more in plants with higher leaf lignin content.
B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.
C. The leaf litter bags cannot be used to conduct this experiment.
D. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be lower in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Answer:

B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Explanation:

Lignin is a major, one of the most slowly decomposing components of dead vegetation, including leaf litters. The lignin content has been found to have a high correlation with litter decomposition.

<em>Hence, at the end of the experiment, the litter bag containing leaf litters with higher lignin contents will be expected to weigh more than those with lower lignin contents.</em>

The correct option is B.

How did vertebrae prevent from grinding against one another?
kow [346]
The intervertebral discs, which are between vertebrae, are the parts that prevent the vertebrae from grinding against one another.

The intervertebrals discs act as a cushion; they absorb the stress and shockw that occur during movement, preventing such grinding.

REY [17]

Neurosecretory cells make and release the hormones from the posterior pituitary. The cell bodies of these neurosecretory cells receive synapses from Afferent neuron and their axon terminals release hormones into blood stream or the local extracellular space.

Neurohormone is  generally produced by neurosecretory cells and liberated by nerve impulses. Neurosecretory cells receive synapses from afferent neurons to guide magnocellular neurons .

A synapse is known as a  small junction at the end of a neuron that allows any signal to pass through one neuron to another. Synapse is a junction were the one neuron get connected with the other neuron .

Does the stomach only does chemical digestion to break down food?
bonufazy [111]
In the stomach, food undergoes chemical and mechanical digestion. Peristaltic contractions (mechanical digestion) churn the bolus, which mixes with strong digestive juices that the stomach lining cells secrete (chemical digestion). As food travels from your mouth into your digestive system, it's broken down by digestive enzymes that turn it into smaller nutrients that your body can easily absorb. This breakdown is known as chemical digestion.
