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.

gavmur [86]

Competition factor are the species of birds responding to in the environment. Thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is competition?</h3>

If numerous bird species eat on the same tree species, there will be fierce competition for food. As a result of the competition, each species will seek out a certain portion of the plant to feed on, most likely the part of the plant where it will be easiest to outcompete the competitors for food.

As a result, we may deduce that the right response is "They have evolved to diverse niches as a result of competition."

ER Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER cytoplasm 

The Golgi body are the ones that slightly alter, organize and prepare so-called parcels to be delivered for all the organelles in the cell. They receive these packages mainly in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These packages that set out by Golgi body are macromolecules that used and synthesized by cells in many operations. If ER is absent then it would only mean that Golgi body would have no use other than simply lysosomes but these macromolecules plays a dynamic role in many organelles –nutrients, ATP and cell metabolism. It'll have a ripple effect if ER is absent in the cell.

mixer [17]

Answer:

False ,Cellular respiration not is the oxygen dependent process through which food molecules are broken down and the energy released used to generate atp.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the primary phase in the collapse of glucose to abstract energy for cellular metabolism. Almost every living organisms bring out glycolysis as step of their metabolism. The method does not use oxygen and is hence anaerobic. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of equally prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Glucose arrives into the heterotrophic cells in two ways.

1. Over secondary active movement in which the movement occurs against the glucose concentration gradient.

2. Over a cluster of vital proteins called GLUT proteins, also called as glucose movement proteins. These transporters helps in the simplified diffusion of glucose.
