What makes nekton swimming abilities different from plankton and benthos

Biology
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The nektonic organisms are those marine organisms that are found in almost every depth. These can move freely from one place to another in the ocean body due to its ability to swim. For example, Turtles, sharks, Fishes, and dolphins.

The planktonic organisms are passive swimmers, as they can move along with the ocean currents and are mostly found in the upper portion of the ocean body. For example, Diatoms and Rotifers.

The benthos is the bottom-dwelling organisms that cannot swim. For example, Bivalves, Corals and Sponges.

The nektonic organisms are different from the planktons and the benthos because the nektons can easily swim. They are constructed with such body parts that allow them to swim and migrate from one region to another region within the ocean water body. Whereas the planktons and the benthos cannot migrate easily and are considered as sessile organisms.

50 points and brainleist how can i gain weight if i was born 4 days early than due date DON'T GOOGLE
ivann1987 [24]
Being born a few days before your due date shouldn’t cause a big difference in your health. To gain weight you should try to eat thing high in protein, healthy fats, and some carbs. Most people try to gain weight by eating foods with a lot of saturated fat (is potato chips) but try to maintain a diet with a good calorie intake.

However I am not a professional and if you are worried about your weight, go to a nutritional to see what meal plan they will give you

This is what I try to eat, I am 100 pounds, 5.2, female.
Eggs (taste terrible in my opinion but are extremely nutritious) for breakfast
Salad with chicken for one meal
Meat dish with rice, or vegetables, sometimes spaghetti

What type of conduction takes place in unmyelinated axons? What type of conduction takes place in unmyelinated axons? Continuous
Volgvan

Continuous conduction takes place in unmyelinated axon.

Explanation:

Based on the presence and absence of myelin sheath, the neurons had been classified as myelinated and non-myelinated neurons respectively.

In myelinated neurons the transmission of impulse takes place only at the non myelinated region called nodes of Ranvier. Due to this, the conduction in Myelinated neuron is saltatory.

The conduction in non-myelinated neuron takes place throughout the length of axon and it is continuous.

Saltatory conduction is faster than continuous conduction.

Dima020 [189]
I would guess that the answer would be :'<span>These organisms dig more shallow burrows than they used to.</span>' If the crabs actively dig burrows, as many crab species do, and a layer of oil has persisted in the lower soil strata, it makes sense that the crabs would be reducing the depths of their burrows to avoid contact with the oil. The other possibility is that the crabs might might migrate to deeper waters, but this is less likely because the crabs would be evolved to utilise the intertidal zone.
