Scientists discovered a new species of freshwater fish that lives in a pond with a very low O2 level. When they measured the oxy

gen extraction efficiency of the fish, it was twice as high as that of closely-related fresh water fish. Propose a hypothesis to explain how the fish achieve a high O2 extraction efficiency

Answer:

In order to propose a hypothesis, there is a need to first see the function of gills in fishes. The gills of fishes comprise blood vessels that exhibit inherited tendencies of getting oxygen out of the water, which was consumed by fishes from their mouths. These gills also comprise thin walls, and when water moves over these walls of blood vessels, the oxygen from water moves into the blood, and then this oxygen-enriched blood goes to various organs.  

Thus, one of the hypotheses in the given case, can be the number of blood vessels, which are found in the gills of the mentioned freshwater fish to be higher in comparison to the blood vessels found in the normal fishes, and apart from this, the surface area of the thin walls, which are found in the gills is also more in the new species of freshwater fish.

List and explain nonspecific immune defenses in plants found in a chaparral
garik1379 [7]

Plants’ nonspecific immune responses includes cell-surface receptors (pattern recognition proteins) which allow them to identify certain patterns characteristic for pathogens.  Activated receptors trigger the production of chemical signals that may initiate both local and systemic defense responses. Sometimes when a plant is affected by infection, it triggers rapid localized programmed cell death to stop the infection further.  When it comes to defense form the herbivores, plants have physical barriers (plant cell walls and their extensions), some antibiotic compounds (phytoalexins), and even enzymes that can defend them.

MArishka [77]

Answer: Oviduct

Explanation:

The oviduct also known as the Fallopian tube is a long narrow tube with funnel shaped opening which receives eggs (Ova) released by the ovary. So, the oviduct link the ovary with the uterus, and it is the site where sperm released from the male meet the egg to fertilize it into zygote.

Thus, oviduct is the answer
