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

Biology

mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

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.

How are convection current in the mantle and in the oceans similar? How are they different?
Vanyuwa [196]

Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

In the fluid-mosaic model of the plasma membrane, the phospholipid molecules are oriented so that the _____________ heads are fa
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Hydrophilic heads facing exterior

Hydrophobic tails facing interior

Explanation:

In 1972, the fluid mosaic model was proposed to describe the structure of the plasma membrane. This model describes the plasma membrane to possess components including phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins. The phospholipid component is composed of glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate-containing head, which are arranged in two adjacent layers forming the phospholipid bilayer in the membrane of biological organisms.

Phospholipids have both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic region. Hence they are said to be AMPHIPATHIC.

The head of the phospholipid is negatively charged due to its phosphate content, making it polar and hydrophilic i.e. water-loving. This hydrophilic head faces the exterior of the cell in order to interact with fluids.

The tails of the phospholipid are long fatty acids that keep away from water i.e. hydrophobic. Due to their water-fearing nature, they avoid water and face the interior of the cell, where each tail face each other.
