Answer:
Both cones and rods participate in dark adaptation, slowly increasing their sensitivity to light in a dim environment. Cones adapt faster, so the first few minutes of adaptation reflect cone-mediated vision.
Answer:
A relationship between unrelated organisms in which oneorganism get benefit and the other is not affected is known as commensalism.
Explanation:
In commensalism organism live in a symbiotic association. the best example is the growth of epiphytes on the top or surface of orchid plants. The epiphytes obtain nutrients from orhids while in return orchids have no benefit from epiphytic plants.
The hotspots are regions, where the plumes of magma are present just below the lithosphere. The plume of the magma is the particles of the volcano and the gases, which is erupted during the volcanic eruption. It is generated by the fragmentation of the magma. Once, it reaches the lithosphere, it get spreaded laterally.
The plumes at the hotspots are present just below the tectonic plates, a high temperature r heat and the low pressure causes the rocks present in the lithosphere to melt resulting in volcanic eruption. At hotspot, the melting of rock takes time, sometimes it is very slow, due to the presence of various tectonic plates. Hence, the plumes can remain stationary for a very long period of time without erupting.
So, the first blank can be filled with Lithosphere and the second blank can be filled with Stationary.
The correct answer choice is D. Production of ethanol
Answer:
Harmful algal blooms in freshwater lakes and rivers, or at estuaries, where rivers flow into the ocean, are caused by cyanobacteria, also known as "blue-green algae". They can produce hazardous toxins, such as microcystins, a neurotoxin which destroys nerve tissue of mammals.
