Answer:

B) leech

Explanation:

The feeding adaptations of leech best represents <u>parasitic way</u> of life. Leeches are invertebrate animals and the phylum to which they belong is Annelida and their subclass is Hirudinea. Leeches have an anticoagulant named as heparin which they inject in the body of the host on which they feed upon. Heparin does not let the blood of the host coagulate and in this way they keep sucking the blood of host organism. Leeches are parasitic because they get benefited out of the host without benefiting the host by any means.

8. A narrow region between two air masses of different densities is a A. ridge. B. system. C. gulley. D. front.
Helga [31]
<span>The answer is d. front. A front is the narrow region between two air masses of different densities. The interaction of the air masses cause the mass that is less dense to rise. Once air rises it cools and condenses to form clouds and eventually leads to precipitation. Using cold fronts as an example, the denser mass of cold air forces the lighter warm air to rise. </span>
