Temka [501]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

d. The carbon atoms came from carbon dioxide and were incorporated into sugars through photosynthesis in the grass.

Explanation:

Grass eating cows are heterotrophs and can not synthesize the organic sugars by themselves. They derive it from grasses they eat.  

Grasses are the autotrophs that can fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. The extra glucose formed during photosynthesis is stored in the cells of grasses in the form of starch and becomes a source of carbon for herbivores such as cows.

"One of the two major systems that are affected by the stress response is the ____________, which results in increased productio
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is the endocrine system.

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system are the two prime systems that take part in the stress response.  

At the time of acute or chronic stress, the endocrine system first makes the hypothalamus to discharge CRH or corticotropin-releasing hormone into the bloodstream. The release of CRH further makes the anterior pituitary to discharge ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone into the blood. This further stimulates the adrenal cortex to discharge cortisol, that is, one of the glucocorticoid hormone into the bloodstream.  

The cortisol finally makes the organs and tissues present within the body to effectively cope up with the initial stress stimulus.

Which statement regarding the relative ages of rocks and events is
taurus [48]

Answer:

C. Faults are younger than the youngest layer they cut through.

Explanation:    

<em> A. Intrusive rock is older than the surrounding rock layers. </em>WRONG. The intrusive rocks are those that solidify underground and always form after the ones around them. So they are younger than the surrounding rocks.

<em>B. A fold is older than the oldest rock layer it contains. </em>WRONG. First, layers are set, and then, it occurs the folding. The folding is always younger than the involved layers.  

<em>C. Faults are younger than the youngest layer they cut through.</em> RIGHT. A fault is a cut through different layers that occurs when the sedimentary rock breaks transversally. It occurs always after the sedimentary rock is already formed. So the fault is always younger than all the layers it cuts through.

D. Rock layers that have been overturned are oldest from the base to the surface. WRONG. If <u>overturned</u>, according to the superposition low, layers are oldest from the surface to the base. Superposition law states that during the sedimentary rock formation, the oldest layer is always that one at the bottom, while the younger layer is the higher one.
