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.

Answer:

Explanation:

Our bodies are comprised of cells, and contrasted with us they're small. ... Furthermore, infections are more modest again — they're about a hundredth the size of our cells. So we're around multiple times greater than our cells, multiple times greater than microbes, and 10 million times greater than your normal infection

The graph shows the results of an investigation into the effect of distance from a light source on the rate of photosynthesis. ​
jeka94

Answer:

<em>A:</em>

  1. increases
  2. light
  3. low

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical process in plants and other primary producers that is integral to energy production. Carbohydrates containing energy is made from light, water and carbon dioxide in the form of glucose molecules.

As a result, the waste product oxygen is released. Photosynthesis is a rate-limited reaction, depending on many factors, including the concentration of carbon dioxide, atmospheric temperature and intensity of light. Because the energy needed is derived from photons, i.e. light particles, lower light intensities lower the rate of photosynthesis significantly.
