The correct answer is: 2- Hypertension, or high blood pressure

Hypertension leads to heart failure. Also, as a result of hypertension body tends to retain fluid in order to maintain adequate blood volume. A failing heart is unable to handle that extra fluid, so it is transferred out of the blood vessels and into tissues causing the swelling of extremitets or edema.

stira [4]

Answer:

Answer:  It will increase because coyotes are the competition.

Explanation:

An ecological niche can be defined as the functional role which an organism performs in the ecosystem in order to sustain it's life. The functional roles include how an organism obtains it's food, type of food eaten by the organism, type of habitat chosen by the organism and type of breeding season used by the organism.

In the given situation, both coyotes and rattlesnakes are dependent upon the same ecological niche that is they are dependent upon mouse as a primary part of their diets. As, both coyotes and rattlesnakes are dependent upon the same diet there may exist the competition between the two species. But it is mentioned that the coyote population is decreasing therefore the population of rattlesnake will most likely increase as the competition for the same diet decreased.

In a hydra, digestion is completed _________.
OLEGan [10]

In a hydra, digestion is completed intracellularly.

Hence option (a) is correct.

Small, freshwater organisms of the phylum Cnidaria and class Hydrozoa are grouped under the genus Hydra. They are indigenous to temperate and tropical climates. 

The digestion takes place intracellularly in Hydra.

Because of their ability to regenerate and the fact that they don't appear to age or experience old age, hydra have drawn the attention of biologists.

Like most other cnidarians, hydras have a pretty straightforward digestive system.

They have a two-way digestive system, which differs from mammals in that food and waste enter and exit through the same aperture. A "blind gut" is the name for this configuration.

The center of the hydra's body is occupied by its digestive tract.
