Why is it protective for the crayfish to have its nerve cord on the bottom of its body?

1 answer:

5 0

The crayfish have its nerve cord on the ventral side rather than on the dorsal side. The ventral side is under the Crayfishes' exoskeleton, as opposed to the dorsal side where the exoskeleton is . If it is attacked it will be from the dorsal side and the nerve cord would be snapped easier. The function of the nerve cord is that if it gets attacked by a predator they will go for the top and it will still be able to move.

Growth of bacteria in food products causes a need to "time-date" some products (like milk) so that shoppers will buy the product

Yuri [45]

Answer: 19,960,039.97 days

Explanation: f(t) = 200e0.002t

where, f(t) is number of bacteria in millions and t is time in days.

so, if the product cannot be eaten after the bacteria count reaches 4000, it will take:

4,000,000,000 = 200e0.002t

4,000,000,000 = 200.4004003t

therefore, t= 4,000,000,000/200.4004003 =19,960,039.97 days

that is, to say that it will take 19,960,039.97 days before the product will not be eaten again.

However, at special times during the year, the earth, moon, and sun do in fact "line up". When the moon blocks the sun or a part of it, it's called a solar eclipse, and it can only happen during the new moon phase.
