There are two kinds of peppered moths - the black and the white. When the black and the white breed with each other, the result is either a black or a white moth. These moths protect themselves from predators by camouflaging themselves and blending in with their environment. During the Industrial Revolution, the white peppered moth became rarer, the black peppered moths multiplied. This was because of the pollution brought about by industrialization. The surroundings were dirty and sooty so the black moths were more protected from their enemies. The white moths stood out so they were easily eaten by birds.

Answer:

The white peppered moths would not be able to easily camouflage themselves from predators. So, their population would have decreased during the Industrial Revolution. As the population decreased, they were less likely to reproduce successfully and pass their traits onto their offspring.

Explain how both the digestive system and the urinary system work to conserve water in the human body.
Ghella [55]
Everything that we eat and drink contains some percentage of water. So, to start, you have to know that the human body has receptors which estimate if we have enough water in our blood and cells in general. From these receptors, the information travels through the neurons to the part of the brain that is responsible for activation of different responses. 

The digestive system is important because in its lower parts, liquids are absorbed and inserted in the bloodstream. Then through the bloodstream, they travel to all parts of the body and are absorbed by cells as needed. When blood passes through the body, it gets to the kidneys where water and electrolytes are filtered, reabsorbed if needed and excreted through the urine. 

Now, if the brain has a signal that the body has a lack of liquids, it activates hormones which influence the bloodstream in both the digestive and the urinary system. In this case, the digestive system will absorb more liquids from food because the hormones will make the blood vessels in the digestive area larger, and on the other hand, we will produce less urine because the kidneys will get an assignment from the brain to filter liquids, but to reabsorb them again as much as possible.

Which of these statements is/are TRUE? Nonphototrophic organisms are able to grow at higher temperatures than phototrophic organ
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

The prokaryotic organisms are the unicellular primitive organism which was formed in the primitive time when the conditions on the Earth were harsh.

The prokaryotes developed the metabolism to survive in the extreme conditions and were recognised as the archaebacteria. These bacteria can tolerate extreme condition like hot temperature called thermophilic conditions. These thermophiles can grow at higher temperature conditions than the eukaryotes.

The thermophiles are non-phototrophic organism as they do not utilize the light energy to produce energy as phototrophic organisms does.

Thus, all of the true is correct.
