This first step to protecting this endangered species of snail is to preserve its existing habitat. This means that steps need to be taken to ensure that <span>Chittenango Falls state park continues to offer a refuge to this snail, and that steps are taken to improve the water quality in the park. A scientific study can be run to identify the pollutants and their concentrations that are having a negative effect on the snail species. For this, water quality testing can be conducted to first identify any pollutants. Once suspect pollutants are identified, ecotoxicology tests can be run to identify concentrations of the pollutants that have an effect on the snail. Both acute (short term) and chronic (long term) tests would have to be conducted, looking at mortality as well as sub-acute end points such as growth and reproduction. Once concentrations of pollutants are identified that would negatively affect the snail, we can call these 'water quality guidelines' that we would need to keep water quality within. We can then identify sources of these pollutants upstream, and take steps to reduce the pollution at source, by forcing factories to treat their water more rigorously or changing upstream land use. Finally, what can also be considered is introducing the snail species to new habitat within the State of New York. We must be careful here though as the actions of man have spread invasive species globally.  </span>

How does fertilizer affect the quality of crops?​
MArishka [77]

The frontal lobe releases norepinephrine that speeds up bodily processes such as heart rate and breathing rate? True or false
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The given statement is False.

Norepinephrine, also called stress hormone is released by adrenal medulla.

It acts as hormone as well as neurotransmitter in the brain and body.

In brain, it increases alertness, focus, vigilance, and promotes formation as well as retrieval of memory. In addition, it also increases restlessness and anxiety.

In body, it increases heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow towards skeletal muscles, promotes the release of glucose from energy stores, and reduces the blood flow towards gastrointestinal system.

Darwin hypothesized that favorable traits spread through as species as
kompoz [17]
It wasn't that the favourable traits were passed down through generations of species, it's that natural selection removed the species who simply couldn't survive. Here's an example: There are two species of moth in a forest, one is brown and the other is black. The trees in the area have trunks that are brown like the moth's wings, so it can camouflage very well compared to the black moths. Eventually, more black moths were being eaten by various amphibians and bugs than brown moths. So, the favourable trait of brown wings continued to be passed on, whereas the black wings went extinct as they were all eaten. Hope that helped :D
