When they were first sold, certain insecticides were highly effective in killing mosquitoes. Today, dozens of mosquito generatio

ns later, a much smaller proportion of these insects die when sprayed with the same chemicals. Fewer insects are killed today because _____.
A. mosquitoes are deliberately adapting themselves to this man-made change in the environment
B. mosquitoes that survive spraying develop an immunity to the insecticide
C. many mosquitoes today are descendants of mosquitoes with insecticide-resistant characteristics
D. the original spraying has caused a permanent mutation, giving the insects genetic resistance to the spray

Answer:

C. many mosquitoes today are descendants of mosquitoes with insecticide-resistant characteristics

Explanation:

When insecticides were first sold, they where highly effective in killing mosquitoes but few mosquitoes will definitely survived. If these mosquitoes that survived mate together, they  will produce hybrid offspring that possess characteristics that are  insecticide-resistant. The more  insecticide-resistant mosquitoes that breed together in subsequent generations, the more permanent mutant hybrid offspring will be produced which will eventually make them to become resistant to the use of insecticides over them.

Alex73 [517]
<h2>Sodium channels </h2>

Explanation:

Depolarization is a result of sodium channels opening as a result of chemical or pressure-based stimuli    

  • Depolarization starts when a threshold stimulus applied on a neuron via Na+ mechanically operated channels that trigger action potential
  • Action potential is an efficient signaling process by which distantly located cells communicate to each other
  • Depolarization of membrane potential is due to influx of Na+ via voltage gated Na+ channels
  • Fast opening of voltage gated Na+ channel shifts membrane potential from -70mV to + 50mV at which voltage gated Na+ channels become inactive thus influx of Na+ abruptly stops

Why does an ecosystem have carrying capacity
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the defined as the largest population that it can sustain indefinitely with the available resources. Biologists also refer to carrying capacity as the “maximum load”. Carrying capacity has factors it depends on. These are the many abiotic and biotic factors in the ecosystem and some are more obvious than others.  The most obvious being, the availability of the basic needs of organisms which make up the different ecosystems. Some of these are food, water and shelter in which dictate how many individuals the ecosystem can sustain.

An enzyme is a large _____ molecule. carbohydrate nucleic acid polysaccharide protein
trasher [3.6K]

The correct answer is:

polysaccharide protein

Enzymes are proteins that speeds up the rate of chemical reaction in a living organism . An enzyme acts as catalyst for specific chemical reaction, converting a specific sets of reactants called substrates into specific products with out enzymes life would not be exist

Explanation:

Enzymes are identified to catalyze more than 5,000 biochemical reaction types. Most enzymes are proteins, although a few are catalytic RNA molecules. Enzymes' specificity appears in their unusual three-dimensional structures. Like all enzymes, enzymes improve the reaction rate by decreasing its activation potential.
