Read the following excerpt about water availability to living organisms. “Water covers 75 percent of Earth. 97 percent of water

on Earth is salt water. Only 3 percent of water is available as fresh water, but most of this water is locked up in solid glaciers and polar ice caps.” Based on this information, which is the best approximation of the amount of water on the planet that is available for animals to drink? 1 percent 3 percent 10 percent 75 percent

<span>Answer: 1%</span>

<span>As per excerpts, Water covers 75 percent of Earth and  97 percent of water on Earth is salt water, meaning only 3 percent of water is available as fresh water. Based on this information, 3% of 75% of the water on earth is available as fresh water or 2.25%. Since most of the water is said to be locked up in solid glaciers and polar ice caps,  the amount of water on the planet that is available for animals to drink is lesser than 2.25% so the best approximation is 1 percent.</span>

What is refusal of care and how does it affect the doctor and the patient?
rodikova [14]
When a doctor refuses to care for a certain patient. This can be for numerous reasons, maybe they are not fit to undergo a surgery of some sort, or are being problematic. Either or the doctor nor the patient benefit form this. Doctor misses out on someone to help (i assume that’s the attitude of one working for the greater good) and the patient misses the opportunity to possibly get the help they need.

juin [17]

Answer: FALSE

Explanation:

The nervous system is the system that detects and responds to changes inside and outside the body. This system consists of the brain, the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The structure and organisation of the tissues that form these components enables rapid communication between different parts of the body.

Parts of the nervous system includes:

--> Central Nervous System ( consists of the brain and spinal cord)

--> Peripheral Nervous System ( consists of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord).The two functional parts of the peripheral nervous system are made up of the sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent). The motor division is involved in activities that are voluntary (somatic nervous system) and involuntary (autonomic nervous system).

The somatic motor division consists of somatic motor neurons that innervates ONLY the SKELETAL MUSCLE for its voluntary actions while the autonomic motor neurons innervates the cardiac and smooth muscles. Therefore the statement is FALSE

Savatey [412]

Answer:

They release chemical messengers to communicate with cells they may or may not be in direct contact with.

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms such as bacteria or yeast, 'talk' to each other through the release of chemicals. In bacteria, this is known as quorum sensing which allows them to determine the surrounding bacterial population density. In yeast, one of the more popular pathways is known as the mating factor pathway, which allow the organisms to find mates. Whereas, in multicellular organisms (such as humans), this chemical release allows for cell-cell co-ordination which keeps the system functioning correctly.
