Answer:

The correct answer will be Victor Hensen.

Explanation:

Plankton's are group of microscopic organisms like bacteria, algae protozoa and floating animals living in large bodies of water such as seas, oceans, fresh water which drift with the currents of water bodies.

They inhabit the photic zone of water bodies and use sunlight for photosynthesis, converting CO₂ to organic compounds and producing O₂.

Plankton are of two types:

1. Phytoplankton-  microscopic plant- like cells.

2. Zooplankton- microscopic animals which graze the phytoplanktons.

Plankton term was first time used by a German zoologist- Victor Hensen. He performed the experiments on ocean microorganisms and laid the foundation of a new field study- biological oceanography which focuses on the study of microorganisms of oceans.

Thus, Victor Hensen is the correct answer.

Describe how the different rates at which land and water are heated affect climate
VARVARA [1.3K]
For the answer to the question above,

Water absorbs vast amounts of energy. Likewise bodies of water release energy very slowly. Areas near water are usually milder. Organic materials (such as plants and animals) tend to absorb more energy. Unlike a desert that holds it. Thus air temp. in a forest is usually cooler than the temp. in a desert.

Since land and water heat at different temperatures, the effects of this process creates climates. For instance, warm weather and moisture from oceans can create hurricanes. I hope this helps

Answer:

The correct answer is: C.

Explanation:

  • The given situation is the example of a Reflex Action.
  • Reflex action can be defined as an action shown in response to a sudden stimulus.
  • The CNS or the Central Nervous System is comprised of the Brain and the Spinal Cord which receives the Sensory impulses from the Receptor organ, integrates or decides on the response which needs to be provided and then sends the Response impulses to the Effector organ.
  • The PNS or the Peripheral Nervous System is comprised of the sensory and motor neurons those are responsible for connecting the Sensory organ and the Motor organ to the CNS, respectively.
  • In the situation, Sarah's eyes perceives the ball and sends sensory impulses through the optic nerve containing the sensory neurons (PNS) to the spinal cord.
  • The spinal cord possess inter-neurons (CNS) that decides over the action to be done in response to the stimulus.
  • The Response stimulus is send from the inter-neurons via the motor neurons (PNS) to the eye muscles of Sarah and Sarah performs the action, that is, she blinks.
