Answer:

Detritus

Explanation:

    Common sense suggests that animals ingest plastic because it is present in the oceans and animals cannot distinguish it from real food (for some animals, such as anchovies, plastic can smell like food). But that does not explain why only certain types of whales - deep-toothed whales such as sperm whales, pilot whales and beaked whales - appear dead on the beaches with plastic in its stomach.

    These species hunt in the depths of the ocean, sometimes more than 500 meters below the surface, in total darkness. They use echolocation to look for food - usually squid. Toothed whales may think plastic waste is food because of its appearance.

all plants give out oxygen during day and carbon dioxide during 9 to you agree with this statement give reason​
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Yes, I agree with the given statement.

Explanation:

Plants undergo the process of photosynthesis for the production of their food. In this process, they require the presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, minerals, and chlorophyll. The process of photosynthesis is possible only during the day because sunlight is one of the major components. Carbon dioxide is taken in by the plant through the stomata from the environment. The oxygen is formed as a product of the process and is released in the environment. This process becomes impossible during the night because of the absence of sunlight. The entire process sums up to that the plants give out oxygen during the day and give out carbon dioxide during the night.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

unicellular - both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

contain mitochondrion - eukaryotes only

are generally less than 2 pm - Prokaryotes only

multicellular - eukaryotes only

lack membrane-bound organelles - prokaryotes only

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are generally unicellular, that is, they are made up of single cells only. However, there are unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes with some eukaryotes like humans and advanced plants having as many as millions of cells.

Prokaryotes generally lack nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplast and mitochondrion. Eukaryotes on the other hand have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplast.

When it comes to size, prokaryotes are generally small and microscopic while eukaryotes consist of both microscopic and macroscopic cells or organisms. However, prokaryotes are generally smaller than microscopic eukaryotes.
