Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
7 0

The answer is option B "declining number and variety of the species in an area." Biodiversity is a variety of life for example a ecosystem has many species which makes it a biodiversity. Now a loss of a biodiversity would be loosing a huge amount of species in that area or ecosystem which would mean the answer is option B.

Hope this helps.

Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 7.0 × 109 Ω. (a) What is the current when the potential di
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Ohm's law

V ( voltage) = I (current A) × Resistance R in ohms

R = 7.0 × 10⁹Ω

V = 80 mV = 80 / 1000 = 0.08 V

0.08 V = I × 7.0 × 10⁹Ω

a) I = 0.08 V / 7.0 × 10⁹Ω = 1.142857 × 10 ⁻¹¹ A

b) quantity of charge = I × t = 1.142857 × 10 ⁻¹¹ A × 0.85 s = 9.7142857 × 10⁻¹² C

number of Na⁺ ions ( q = +e) = 9.7142857 × 10⁻¹² C / 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 60714285.714 Na⁺ ions

Most dietary ______ are too large to be absorbed directly into the capillaries from the small intestine; they must be absorbed i
pashok25 [27]

Most dietary <u>fats </u>are too large to be assimilated and absorbed into the capillaries but they are otherwise absorbed into the lacteals.

<h3>What are dietary fats?</h3>

Dietary fat is necessary for good health. It offers you strength and aids in the absorption of vitamins by your body. Dietary fat has about twice as much energy per gram as carbs and protein.

In the villi ( an organ in the small intestine) is located the lacteal which is a lymphatic capillary that absorbs and assimilates dietary fats. 

Most nutrients are also absorbed through the blood capillaries, but as for dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins, they are absorbed by the lacteals.

Before the presence of living organisms earth was a very different place match each fact about about Precambrian earth to the sp
Stolb23 [73]

The correct matches are:

- Atmosphere - Oxygen spilled into this sphere from ocean waters;

The majority of the oxygen in thee Precambrian Earth was not in the atmosphere, but instead it was in the ocean waters. With the emergence of life, large portions of this oxygen went into the atmosphere as it was released as a waste product.

- Biosphere - Cyanobacteria started to emerge as a life form;

The cyanobacteria were one of the earliest life forms. They were producers, and started to use the process of photosynthesis in order to produce food. The usage of this process caused lot of changes on the Earth later on.

- Hydrosphere - Oceans contained far less salt than they do today;

The rocks and minerals in the Precambrian Earth were not weathering and eroding in the manner they are now. Instead they were kept compact for much longer periods, influencing the mixture of of different components with the water as well in meantime.

- Lithosphere - Oxidation in rocks and minerals was not possible;

Because there was way to small amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, very close to 0%, the oxidation of rocks and minerals was not possible, as the oxygen is the gas that causes this process.

Water is essential for survival. It is important to understand the factors that affect water balance and the best sources to hel
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

2-Water helps maintain body temperature.

3-Diuretics like alcohol and some medications can cause the body to lose water.

Explanation:

Dehydration occurs when the amount of what loss is more than the amount taken. And we lose water in many ways therefore taking water on a regular basis is important to replace the fluids lost and keep the body functioning.

Water Maintains the Body Temperature

During high temperature, the body cools itself naturally by sweating and by sweating a large amount of water is lost. So when enough water is not taken, there will be less production of sweating thereby causing the body's temperature to rise.

Alcohol Causes Water Loss

Taking excess alcohol can result to dehydration because the hormone called anti-diuretic (while alcohol is diuretic) is used to reabsorb water by the body and alcohol in the body depletes the production of this hormone. The body loses more water than normal with a reduced amount of anti-diuretic in the body. Excessive intake of alcohol can also cause vomiting, which depletes the body of fluids and can cause further dehydration.
