Answer:

Bivalve- Wedge shaped foot

Snail- Large and flat foot

Cephalopod- Foot is modified into siphon.

Explanation:

Molluscs are predominantly marine animals with a soft body,however,they are known to inhibit fresh water as well as terrestrial habitat.

They possess a *muscular foot*,which is used for *locomotion and anchorage*,they vary in shape and function depending on the type of mollusc.

MODIFICATION OF FOOT IN MOLLUSCS:

Bivalve- Foot is usually wedge shaped

Snail- Foot is large and flat

Cephalopod: Foot is modified int a siphon( a tube-like organ)

ADAPTATIONS OF FOOT IN MOLLUSCS

1)Bivalves have pointed retractable foot(wedge foot) that protrudes from the wheel and is adapted for *moving or burrowing*.

2)Snail have a mucus-laden muscular foot adaptation,that reflexes and contracts allowing movement(*crawling*) in water and terrestrial habitats

3)The foot of cephalopod is adapted for *moving* about by a kind of jet propulsion in water.

What is the biodiversity score of farmland (maize)?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

The intensification of agriculture has caused dramatic declines in farmland biodiversity (Carvalheiro et al., 2013; Senapathi et al., 2015). Since the 1990s, agricultural policies have been developed in Europe to mitigate this loss through agri-environmental schemes (AES). One AES is “sown wildflower strips”, the aim of which is to create new ecological infrastructures by sowing attractive wild flowers on arable land (a few % of the cultivated area). These ecological infrastructures fall within our definition of MIMS since they represent a massive introduction of managed species in the landscape.

Put the fats in order from the one that contains the greatest percentage of saturated fatty acids (1) to the one that contains t
olganol [36]

Answer:coconut oil, butter, palm oil, olive oil, canola oil.

Explanation: .

A saturated fat one whose fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds. A fat is made of two kinds of smaller molecules which are glycerol and fatty acids. Fats are made of long chains of carbon (C) atoms while some carbon atoms are linked by single bonds (-C-C-) bonds others are linked by double bonds (-C=C-). These Double bonds will react with hydrogen to form single bonds causing them to be SATURATED, because when the second bond is broken, each half of the bond is then saturated with a hydrogen atom.

In terms of saturated fats acids composition by percentage according to ChartsBin statistics collector team 2011, Fat Composition in different Cooking Oils, ChartsBin.com, palm oil is 14.192, coconut oil is 91.92 canola is 7.46,palm oil 51.57, butter 65%-68%.Here you can see that the order of saturated fats from the highest gives- Coconut,butter, palm oil,olive oil and Canola as the last
