Sati [7]

Answer:

The consumption of mosquitoes by bats and the control of flooding provided by tropical forests in mountainous areas of central america are examples of <u>ecosystem services</u>.

Explanation:

Ecosystem services can be described as the functions performed by parts of the ecosystem which benefit in regulating the ecosystem. These services offer a huge help to humans without the humans having to perform any work. For example, in the above question, humans are naturally getting rid of mosquitoes because the mosquitoes are being consumed by the bats. The floods in Central America are also being controlled by the tropical forests and humans have no work in it. Hence, both these examples show ecosystem services.

Why is it difficult to observe individual chromosomes with a light microscope during interphase?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

They have uncoiled to form long, thin strands.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are present in cell nucleus and consist of chromatin. Genes are present in linear order on chromosomes.  The chromosomes become visible under the microscope as distinct structures during cell division. When cells are not dividing, the chromosomes decondense to loose their individuality and make the mass of chromatin.  

Chromatin is complex of DNA and packing proteins. As the cells enter the prophase stage of cell division, condensation of chromatin occurs and individual chromosomes become visible under microscope. Before that (during interphase), chromosomes are not visible as they are present in decondensed form.

Janis tore a ligament in her ankle. Until the injury heals, she is at most risk for which of the following? dislocating bones lo
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''dislocating bones.''

Explanation:

When the bone " pops out" or dislodges from its place (joint), a dislocation occurs. An ankle dislocation, like any other joint, occurs when the 2 articular surfaces of the ankle separate, in this case when the talus ( together with the rest of the foot) " pops out of place" and is no longer in contact with the surface of the tibia-fibula. This leads to the complete breakdown of the ligaments that hold the joint in place, causing the bones to " pops out." Producing significant deformities in the affected joint.
