Answer:
D) Solar
Explanation:
Solar can transform light and wind energy to electricity
Answer: C
Explanation:
LD50 is a measure of toxicity in animals. A chemical with a smaller LD50 is more toxic and in this question, Shiga toxin has a lower LD50, thus it is more lethal.
Wind power:
Advantages:
-Using wind as a source of power is very cost-effective. This is method is fuel free and the electricity harvested from wind farms is sold at a fixed price over a long period of time.
-Wind power is a clean fuel source. Using wind as a source of power prevents air pollution unlike power plants that mostly rely on fossil fuels which releases toxins into the hair causing both environmental and health problems.
-Wind power is a sustainable source of power since nothing can really stop it from being produced. Since this source of power relies on air, as long as there is air, energy can be harvested.
Disadvantages:
-Wind turbines are usually built in rural areas due to the size of them and the amount of space needed to build them. Because of this, they aren’t usually close to cities or remote locations where the energy harvested from them is most needed.
-Wind turbines can harmfully impact nature. Because of their height and size, many birds and other flying animals end up getting killed by the spinning blades connected to the turbine.
-Locations to build wind turbines may be hard to get due to competition with other things that may be of more importance on the land compared to wind farms.
Answer:
B. Sea stars are the prey of seagulls
Explanation:
Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).
Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism
Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey. For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)
Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite. Think of a dog with a tick. The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.
Incorrect answers (and why):
A. Sea stars do not eat seagulls
C. If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls. They do not.
D. A host is an organism that a parasite preys on. Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.
I hope this helps! :)
