Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) are born in freshwater environments and then migrate to the sea Near the end of their lives, the
y return to the freshwater stream where they were born to spawn. In freshwater, water constantly diffuses into the body and ions are lost from the body. In salt water, body water diffuses out of the body and excess ions are gained from the water. A salmon's gills have special cells to pump salt in or out of the body to maintain homeostasis. IN response to the salmon's moves between freshwater and salt water, some cells in the gills are produced and others are destroyed. These changes made in the cells of the gills during the lifetime of an individual salmon are an example of ... ? a. Trade off
b. Evolution
c. Acclimatization
d. Adaptation
Acclimatization is the process in which an individual adjusted itself in order to respond adequately to a change in its environmentm- in this case, the change from sea water to freshwater- and maintain good performance. Acclimatization occurs in a short period of time and <em>within the organism's </em><em>lifetime </em><em>. </em>This last part is an important difference between acclimatization and adaptation, becasue an adaptation is a change that has taken place over many generations.
Our results contrast with research conducted in protected areas that suggested human effects in the food web are primarily predator-mediated. Instead, human influence on vegetation may strengthen bottom-up predominance and weaken top-down trophic cascades in ecosystems.
I would say that the most correct statement is the following one: Certain types of renewable energy can be used for as many applications as certain types of nonrenewable resources.
Let's take for example the energy from solar panels (the renewable energy source) and the energy from burning fossil fuels: this energy can be used in the same situations!
