Answer:the possession of feathers

Explanation:birds are warm blooded animals , that possess feathers.these feathers cover their bodies and used for flight and warmth.their forelimbs are modified into wings,which fold into a Z shape at rest.feathers grow from the skin follicles and are replaced by scales on their legs.they possess oil gland to dress the feathers.

Other features of birds include

1) beaks with no teeth

2) fully ossified bones with air cavities

3)females with left ovary and oviducts only

Receipt of extracellular signals can change cell behavior quickly (e.g., in seconds or less) or much more slowly (e.g., in hours
balandron [24]

Answer:

A. Molecular changes such as extracellular signals on extracellular ligands can result in quick changes in cell behaviour. One example is insulin. Upon insulin binding on the receptor on the cell membrane, the cell release GLUT4 transporters (for muscle cells) to increase uptake of glucose.

B. Slow changes in cell behaviour can be observed for other lipophilic hormones or intracellular receptors such as glucocoortoid or estrogen which reacts with receptors in the cells.

C. Insulin is required to maintain a constant blood glucose level and hence levels of insulin has to be mediated in correspondence to the blood glucose levels. Fast acting signalling is thus required for homeostasis of blood glucose levels. Where for such lipophilic hormones such as steriods, glucocortoid, these hormones tend to have a longer lasting effect and hence results in a slow change.

Ecosystems include food webs that show predation and prey interactions among organisms. But ecosystems have many more relationsh
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Food webs describe the relationships — links or connections — among species in an ecosystem, but the relationships vary in their importance to energy flow and dynamics of species populations. Some trophic relationships are more important than others in dictating how energy flows through ecosystems. Some connections are more influential on species population change. Based on different ways in which species influence one another, Robert Paine proposed three types of food webs based on the species of a rocky intertidal zone on the coast of Washington (Ricklefs 2008, Figure 2). Connectedness webs (or topological food webs) emphasize feeding relationships among species, portrayed as links in a food web (Paine 1980). Energy flow webs quantify energy flow from one species to another. Thickness of an arrow reflects the strength of the relationship. Functional webs (or interaction food webs) represent the importance of each species in maintaining the integrity of a community and reflect influence on the growth rate of other species' populations. As shown in Figure 2, limpets Acmaea pelta and A. mitra in the community consume considerable food energy (energy flow web), but removal of these consumers has no detectable influence on the abundance of their resources (functional web). The most effective control was exerted by sea urchin Stronglocentrotus and the chiton Katharina (Ricklefs 2008).

Describe how the periodic table differentiate from metals to non metals. Thanks!
DENIUS [597]
In the periodic tables metals are on the left side and nonmetals are in the right side.... so we can know whether an element is metal or nonmetal by it's position on the periodic table..

Suppose the phloem of a seed plant is damaged and does not function properly.
Kisachek [45]

Answer:The might likely die.

Explanation:

Phloem and xylem tissues are the major conducting tissues in plant. Xylem conduct ( transports) water and minerals salts from the soil through the roots to all parts of the plant while phloem conducts manufactured food from the leaves to other parts of the plant.

Now, if the phloem of a seed plant is damaged and not functioning well, the manufactured food will not get to other parts of the plant where it is needed or supposed to be stored.

If the plant is no longer getting these nutrients, its growth and development will be affected. It might lead to the death of the plant.
