Answer:

At the base of Actinopterygii

*This is a unique characteristic of this group.

Explanation:

A peculiar characteristic organ observed in ray-finned fish (as well as in Sarcopterygii, or lobe-finned fish) but not in cartilaginous fish like shark is the swim bladder.

This organ is often described to be a sac containing gas. It helps these set of fish adjust its buoyancy and its position in the water by regulating the concentration of gas present in it.

The swim bladder is formed as a pouch coming off the embryonic digestive tract, and in chondrosteans and holosteans, with a set of teleosts e.g. the eels, it maintains an open pathway to the esophagus. In majority of the bony fish, the swim bladder is totally sealed off, as gas levels in their swim bladder are regulated by producing gas into the bladder via a network of capillaries, the rete mirabile (Latin word for "marvelous net").

The swim bladder is homologous to the lungs of tetrapods. Since they are formed in the same vein. Few fishes that have an open swim bladder employs it as a breathing organ.

Why would you probably not see a volcano on the east coast of the United States?
DerKrebs [107]

D. There are no major fault lines or hot spots close by.

Why?

Because "They don’t occur anywhere else other than along the Ring of Fire" is incorrect, the Ring of Fire is just a place where many volcanoes are.

Because "The composition of the rock in that area is not conductive to eruptions." they type of rock doesn't play that much of a role in the formation of volcanoes

Because "The magma doesn’t have enough silica or gas to form an explosive eruption." It isn't a gass that is found, it is the build up of pressure from fultlines moving and things on the inside of the earth.

Explain the different preparations of cocaine and how they are used.
VLD [36.1K]
<span>Cocaine Preparations -Coca leaves --> Coca Paste (60% pure): Not water soluble, so you can't inject it into the bloodstream -- you need an additional chemical step to turn the paste into crystal powder that can be injected or snorted -Coca --> Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure): Doesn't hold up very well to heat, so you can't smoke cocaine hydrochloride -Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure) --> Free-Base Cocaine or Crack Cocaine: -Reconvert cocaine hydrochloride back to base state by removing hydrochloride from cocaine (that's why it's called free-base cocaine) -Crack cocaine is a crystallized form, mixture of cocaine and baking soda -75% pure -Can be used at lower doses and is much cheaper than cocaine -Can be smoked</span>
