Some species of dolphins find their prey by echolocation; they emit clicking sounds and listen for echoes returning from distant

objects in the water. Marine biologists have speculated that those same clicking sounds might have a second function: particularly loud clicks might be used by the dolphins to stun their prey at close range through sensory overload. Which of the following, if discovered to be true, would cast the most serious doubt on the correctness of the speculation described above?
(A) Dolphins that use echolocation to locate distant prey also emit frequent clicks at intermediate distances as they close in on their prey.
(B) The usefulness of echolocation as a means of locating prey depends on the clicking sounds being of a type that the prey is incapable of perceiving, regardless of volume.
(C) If dolphins stun their prey, the effect is bound to be so temporary that stunning from far away even if possible, would be ineffective.
(D) Echolocation appears to give dolphins information about the richness of a source of food as well as about its direction.
(E) The more distant a dolphin's prey, the louder the echolocation clicks must be if they are to reveal the prey's presence to the hunting dolphin.

Answer:

(B) The usefulness of echolocation as a means of locating prey depends on the clicking sounds being of a type that the prey is incapable of perceiving, regardless of volume.

If the prey can't really hear the echolocation, there is no potential for "sensory overload," which would discredit the theory that they stun their prey. It sounds pretty cool, but I feel like the speculation is probably unfounded.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

In the 1920s, Russian Chemist A.I Oparan and English geneticist Haldane, first conceived and developed independently, the theory of Primordial soup. The primordial soup theory suggests that life began in a pond or ocean as a result of the combination of the right amounts of chemicals from the atmosphere and some form of energy, under the right conditions, which resulted in the production of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins from which life evolved. This is suggested to have happened 3 to 4 billion years ago.

This theory was tested by Chemist Stanley Miller and Physicist Harold Urey, in 1950. They mixed gases thought to be present in the primitive earth and electrically sparked the mixture, which resulted in the formation of amino acids.

Stella [2.4K]
<span>Vitalism was the antiquated belief that all life can be derived from dihydrogen oxide compounds dating back to the paleozoic time era. Scientist now know and accept that life is dynamic and fundamental to the origins of heterotrophic processes. It was rejected when Francesco Redi developed photosynthetic filaments from prokaryotic organisms found in primordial sludge.</span>
