Answer:
Brittle stars eat decaying plant matter (they are detrivores) and plankton, but can also kill small animals to eat as well.
Explanation:
They do this by pushing their stomach out through their mouth, like most starfish. Hope this helps.
EcosystemTropical Savanna is found between sections of tropical rain forest and deserts. They have 2 seasons; wet (constant humidity) and dry (long periods of dry spells and drought that may cause fires).
Both savanna buffalo and forest buffalo live close to water. The buffalo are found throughout the northern and southern savanna as well
as the lowland rain forest.
<span>How might this population suddenly increase? How might this affect the ecosystem? If there was an increase in population; grasslands during the wet season will be gone, more predators will flock for an abundance of buffalo.
</span>
<span>What might happen to the ecosystem if this population was removed? If you remove the buffalo from the savanna ecosystem, it can cause a ripple effect such as populations of small mammal (mouse) will double, which will attract more snakes (venomous), it can cause the flea and tick population to increase, and the increase in tick/fleas can cause the risk of transmission of flea/tick borne pathogens.</span>
Answer:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => c. steals 1 electron
2. Calcium (2 electrons) => a. gives away 2 electrons
3. Oxygen (6 electrons) => d. steals 2 electrons
4. Lithium (1 electron) => e. gives away 1 electron
5. Xenon (8 electrons) => b. neither gives away nor steals any electron
Explanation:
Given the following valence electrons of the atoms listed above, each atom can be matched to its corresponding number of electrons it can steal or give away as they form bonds and attain a stable state:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => this will steal 1 electron from another atom to attain a stable state when it comes to make the number of electrons 8.
2. Calcium with 2 valence electrons, will give away this 2 electrons in its outer shell to be stable and form bond with another atom that will accept these 2 electrons.
3. Oxygen with 2 valence electrons, will steal 2 electrons to make the electrons in its outer shell 8, as it bonds with another atom to become stable.
4. Lithium will give away 1 electron to become stable when it combines.
5. Xenon with 8 electrons in its outer shell is in a stable state and kind of inert. It doesn't need to receive or steal any electron from or to any other atom in this state.
Answer:
pindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during both types of nuclear division: mitosis and meiosis. During mitosis, the spindle fibers are called the mitotic spindle.
