Answer:

The answer is B. They have highly folded membranes.

Explanation:

A highly folded structure is advantageous for microscopic organelles such as the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles need to produce high amounts of ATP and proteins in a day, respectively.

For the endoplasmic reticulum, with ribosomes attached, it is responsible for the manufacturing, packaging, and transport of specific proteins. Same goes for the mitochondria, which is responsible for energy production and respiration. These processes are so demanding that in order to be more efficient in being productive, the highly folded membranes provide a wider and better surface area for synthesis of proteins or ATP, despite the size of these organelles.

1. (Carnivorous) They don't rely as much on the mechanical breakdown of foods in the mouth as much as they usually eat their prey whole. They also have U-shaped stomachs.They regurgitate indigestible things (e.g. Large Bones). They have shorter, spiralling intestines, but this means it also has a large surface area.

2. One difference is that humans have lungs so that is used to oxygenate the blood while shark has gills. Another difference is that Sharks use the heat from their muscles, so rather then expelling it into the outside environment that actually use that to heat their blood and transfer the heat from warmer blood to passing colder blood.

3. I positioned my shark to be dorsal side up and have its ventral side facing down.

4. The pectoral girdle is in a location where the cartilage is very thick.

What are the effects of early stimulation on brain development?
sdas [7]

Answer:

The importance of early childhood experiences for brain development. Children are born ready to learn, and have many skills to learn over many years. ... Exposure to stress and trauma can have long-term negative consequences for the child's brain, whereas talking, reading, and playing can stimulate brain growth.

Unused brain synapses disappear Research also shows that children born into cultures where early stimulation is considered important, develop earlier than Western children do," van der Meer says. She adds that the brains of young children are very malleable, and can therefore adapt to what is happening around them.

Stimulation in early childhood can alleviate adverse effects of poverty.

And early brain development has a lasting impact on a child’s ability to learn and succeed in school and life. The quality of a child’s experiences in the first few years of life – positive or negative – helps shape how their brain develops.

Hope this helps!! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart to help my account if it did!!
