1. <span> A. The algae directly feeds the large-mouth bass and wood duck. Consumers are the same thing as heterotrophs.
2. </span><span>The blue arrow points to an animal which gets all its energy from (i.e., eats) only other animals
3. </span><span>Primary consumers are the organisms which eat producers. So without the primary consumers eating the producers, the number of producers will probably increase.</span>
Answer:
A sleepy driver rounds a bend and sees a deer standing in the road. The driver snaps to attention and applies the brakes, averting the accident, because his brain was aroused by the <u> Reticular Activating system(RAS).</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Reticular activating system (RAS) is a part of brain that filters the sensory signal that tries to reach our brain.
- However the olfactory Signal do not pass through it .
- Reticular activating system is located at the brain stem little above the spinal column.
- This is an extremely important part of the brain because it sorts various sensory signals into important and non-important ones.
- RAS allows only those information into the brain that needs immediate attention of the conscious mind.
- Hence it is responsible for sudden wakefulness.
- Our sensory organs perceive thousands of information each second and direct them towards the brain.
- If RAS was not there then our brain would have reached a state of confusion every minute and might have failed to give proper response to any of the stimulus.
- In the given situation, the sudden sight of the deer acted as a threatening stimulus.
- This information needed immediate attention of the driver's conscious mind and his brain was thus aroused by the RAS.
Answer:
The abiotic factors are non-living factors that interfere with the forest ecosystem. Two abiotic factors are the amount of rain and sunlight. The amount of these two abiotics determines how much a tree will grow or how thick and diverse the population of trees in a forest will be.
Explanation:
Answer:
Seafloor spreading at the mid-ocean ridge provides the mechanism for tectonic plate movement. The Earth's mantle moves through convection, showing that tectonic plates are able to glide. The location of the plates was determined by locating their boundaries, using data on the Earth's magnetic field.
Answer:
The two main reasons are nonpolar core of the bilayer and the active transport.
Explanation:
The membrane is structured to have two outer layers that are polar and an inner layer that is nonpolar.
If a membrane protein is exposed to the solvent, i<em>t will also have a polar side. It would be very difficult for the polar face of the membrane to move through the nonpolar core of the bilayer.</em> Therefore, this model is not feasible.
One major form of transport, active transport, moves solutes up the concentration gradient. <em>The binding of a solute and then release on another side of the membrane would only work for facilitated diffusion because it would cause a net movement of solutes down the concentration gradient.</em> It is unclear how energy could be expended to drive this process in the transverse carrier model.<em> Therefore, the transverse carrier model does not explain active transport.</em>
