What is the correct way to analyze a term that means "softening of the cartilage"?

Biology

Ber [7]3 years ago

Chondromalacia is the synonymous of the cartilage softening (chondro = cartilage, malacia = soft). It's a pathology of softening affecting the joints and more particularly those of the knee (kneecap and femur).

This anomaly can be observed in several circumstances:

• the first is that of direct trauma. It is the cartilaginous lesion occurring before the fracture (fissure) of the cartilage.

• the second is that of common osteoarthritis. It is highly likely that the first stage of osteoarthritis begins with edema (swelling of the cartilage or closed chondropathy) that makes the cartilage less resistant and more vulnerable; this soft cartilage can then crack on its surface (open chondropathy) and these cracks will be more difficult to heal.

Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is limited food and water resources favored the survival of smaller deer.</em>

Explanation:

The islands where the Key deer lived had limited food and water resources. As migration was not possible for these species because the white-tailed deer had more adaptations as compared to them, hence they had to somehow survive in these areas with limited food and water resources. Limited food resources were the reason that the Key deer could not grow properly and hence evolved to have very little weight.

Identify the stages of the water cycle in this model
FinnZ [79.3K]
Alright.


So the picture is a little hard to see, so bare with me. 

Evaporation is where the water is coming out of the ocean up into the air. 

I think that is rain happening above the mountain? If so, that is precipitation.

The little river thing coming out of the mountain is runoff.

I cant really see much else on the picture though, so you might need someone else to help you there.
