The following is one of the food chains within the Alaskan coast. The sea otter feeds on the sea urchins and the sea urchins fee

ds on the kelp (sea weed). It has been observed that the population of the sea otter is decreasing while the population of sea urchins is exploding. Consequently, the sea urchins have almost depleted the kelp. Which of the three species can be regarded as a keystone species/predator?

Answer:

The correct answer is sea otter.

Explanation:

A keystone species is that species that have a major impact on its ecosystem relative to its number. A keystone species stabilize an ecosystem by controlling the population of other species.

For example, sea otter is a keystone species that feeds on sea urchin and control its population. As the sea urchin population is under control seaweed population is also stable because sea urchin feeds on seaweeds.

As the population of sea otter declines the population of sea urchin increases because of having fewer predators and then this overpopulation of urchin depletes all the kelp by feeding on them.  

Therefore the right answer is- sea otter is the keystone species.

The middle pleistocene and the late pleistocene correspond to which cultural periods?
Crank

The middle stone age and the later stone age corresponds to the middle and the late pleistocene.

Cultural evolution during the middle and the late pleistocene :-

In southwestern Asia as well as northern and southern Africa, personal ornaments in the form of perforated seashells are recorded from the early Late Pleistocene. In the Old World, Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans are linked to a range of personal ornamentation by about 40,000 years ago (Ka). These include fully created ornaments as well as organically modified things. The appearance of figurative art, mythical imagery, and other types of items, like as musical instruments, at various times in history suggest that completely modern behavior began to emerge more gradually towards the middle of the Late Pleistocene and most definitely no later than 40 Ka. Many, but not all, of the lengthy and rigorous history of study might well have helped to the relevant data come from Europe.

Which statement best descibes a cause and effects that occurs during the process of muscle contration?
ExtremeBDS [4]
The most appropriate statement that is explaining the effect and cause during muscle contraction is. “The release of calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other.” The activation of muscles helps in the generation of muscles that send out the signals to the neurons.
