Mantle
In mollusks with shells, the outer cells of the mantle secrete
calcium carbonate and conchiolin to form the shell. The mantle is the body wall
of a mollusk. It resides below the shell where it covers the body of the
animal.
Biodiversity decreases, and the overall health of the ecosystem decreases.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a niche when two different species occupy a niche competition arises between them. In due course both the species fight for existence and nature selects the best adaptable one to win. The other species either reduces in its population or gradually in struggle for existence they deteriorate and die.
Hence a decrease in bio diversity happens here due to natural selection. If the biodiversity is decreased in a particular niche it affects the growth of different species which in turn affect the whole ecosystem resulting in decrease of the overall health in an ecosystem.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 4.34 days.
Explanation:
Given:
Distance from the sun to earth = 150 million kilometer
= 1500,00,000 km
The solar "wind" travels = 400 km/sec
= 400*60*60 km/ hour
= 1440000 km/hour
Then time = distance/speed
time = 1500,00,000 km/1440000 km/hour
time = 104.166666667 hours
time = 104.166666667/24
= 4.34 days.
Answer:
The small intestine absorbs most digested food molecules, as well as water and minerals, and passes them on to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change.

Answer:
It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged. In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells.
