The right answer is A.

The foreshore, also called intertidal zone, is the tidal zone of the tides on the coast. The alternation of the tides which discover more or less the substrate according to the phases of the Moon determines the conditions of humidity, salinity and temperature of the foreshore.

These variations lead to a vertical ecological structuring of the foreshore in so-called supralittoral, mediolittoral and infralittoral stages. The floristic and faunistic stands of these stages are distinct, according to the requirements of organisms in water, salinity and temperature. Therefore it would be beneficial for organisms living in this period that it can live without depending on the water present in their environment since the presence of the latter is inconstant.

The foreshore is divided into several floors that correspond to different ecological conditions. These coastal stages are defined by the duration of their emergence and therefore by the level of the different tides.

Tide pool animals and plants are well adapted to the intertidal zones. Some adaptations include: The ochre sea star can tolerate a longer time period exposed to air than many other sea stars. They regularly withstand up to eight hours of exposure during low tides.

What is the volume of a black hole?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

This value is 4*(pi)* (2Gm/c^2)^2 for nonspinning black holes, with G= Newton's constant, c= speed of light, and m= mass of the black hole. The 3-dimensional spatial volume inside a black hole, in contrast, depends explicitly on the definition of time, and can even be time dependent, or zero.

What renal and hormonal factors will cause an increased release of aldosterone from adrenal cortex?

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Renin; angiotensin I and angiotensin II

Explanation:

Renin is a key hormone involved in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which is responsible for regulating blood pressure in response to changes in blood volume. Renin is secreted primarily by the kidneys to promote the production of the peptide hormone angiotensin in the blood vessels. Subsequently, angiotensin stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex, stimulating sodium retention by the kidneys. Renin acts on its substrate angiotensinogen to yield angiotensin I, which is then converted to angiotensin II by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Finally, angiotensin 2 promotes the release of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex, which acts on renal tubules, leading to the reabsorption of sodium and water and the excretion of potassium.
