Answer:

The answer is:

B. Worms consuming the blood from mammals.

Algae isn't causing any harm to the sloth, rather its providing it with camouflage to hide from predators. Both creatures benefits since the algae gets to eat any parasites and other things in the sloths fur, plus they get a free ride and home in the process. The sloth isn't harmed and is helped by the algae since it provides camouflage (mutualism).

Tree frogs aren't causing harm to the trees since they are only using them to hide from predators, the tree serves as protection for the frogs and aren't harmed in the process (commensalism).

Two fish protecting each other from predators aren't harming each other in any way, rather they are protecting each other from another animal that wants to eat them (mutualism).

The worms however are harming the mammals because they are consuming the mammals blood, this is parasitism since one animal is benefiting and the other is harmed.

Hope this helps! :)

A direct indication that the white blood cells of the body are functioning would be
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

B. a decrease in the number of pathogens in the body

Explanation:

White blood cell includes immune cell like monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, etc. These cells are responsible for fighting with the pathogens or foreign molecules and eliminate them from the body.

So when any pathogens get enter in the body these cell kills those pathogen and protect us from them. Therefore the decrease in the number of pathogens in the body is a direct indication that the white blood cells in the body are working. So the right answer is B.

Which statement regarding the hypothalamus is FALSE?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

All the options are correct regarding hypothalamus.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is the part of the forebrain. The diencephalon is divisible into 2 parts - thalamus and hypothalamus. It regulates various functions of the body.

This is the thermoregulatory center of the body. It gives the signal to sweat during a hot environment and shiver in winter. This maintains the water balance in the body by stimulating the secretion of ADH hormone in the kidney.

Hypothalamus also has regulated anterior pituitary hormone secretion. Thus it controls the endocrine secretion of pituitary glands.

This plays an important role in hunger and thirst. The feeding habits like the licking of lips, swallowing, and salivating by seeing delicious foods is due to hypothalamic activities.

The behavioral activities of individuals influenced by the hypothalamus.  It is worked along with the limbic system of the brain. The behavioral activities include fear, punishment and sexual desire.

The first commercial application of genetic engineering was the use of bacteria to make insulin, a medicine needed by diabetics.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it lacks options. The options are:

A) It has made the demand for insulin decrease.

B) It has made the incidence of diabetes decrease.

C) It has made it easier for diabetics to inject themselves with insulin.

D) It has made insulin cheaper and more readily available.

The answer is D

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a biotechnological procedure that involves the transfer of genes from one organism to another using biotechnology. In this case, bacteria cells are said to be genetically modified because their genetic content is tampered with and the genes that produces the insulin protein in humans is added into their genome. Hence, they transcribe and translate this gene to produce the protein-insulin.

Diabetic patients cannot produce this insulin in their system. Hence, the insulin produced from this genetically modified bacteria cells can be administered to diabetics via injection. This genetically modified way of producing insulin has proven to be a far better option to the previous practice of slaughtering cattles and pigs to obtain this protein because the GM method allows insulin to be produced in large amounts making it available and cheaper to diabetics.
