7 0

Answer:

  1. Protists are mostly unicellular(one celled) eukaryotes whereas a few protists are multicellular(many celled).
  2. They are eukaryotic which means they have a nucleus that is enclosed by a membrane.
  3. They are divided into three categories;animal-like protists, which are heterotrophs and have the ability to move,plant-like protists, which are autotrophs that photosynthesize and fungi-like protists, which are heterotrophs, and they have cells with cell walls and reproduce by forming spore.
  4. They are mobile or immobile

Explanation:

  • Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as plant,animal or fungus.
  • Protists can obtain energy they need to live by consuming other organisms and have the ability to move hence they are said to be heterotrophic while others can obtain energy by manufacturing their own food through a process known as photosynthesis which involves capturing light energy and storing it in carbohydrates for they cannot move  hence said to be autotrophic.
  • protists may live primarily in water though some live in moist soil hence they can be found almost anywhere on earth where there is liquid water,even in humans.

What second messenger most directly causes calcium ions to be released from intracellular stores?
NemiM [27]

Answer: adenylyl cyclase inositol triphosphate mainly known as IP3 causes the release of Calcium ions directly from the inracellular stores and causea contraction.

Explanation:

IP3, inositol phosphate is a second messenger a signaling molecule. It is made by hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid that is located in the plasma membrane, by an enzyme phospholipase C.

IP3 binds to the calcium channels and opens Ca2+ channels that are embedded in the ER membrane, releasing Ca2+ into the cytosol. Calcium ions released may cause contraction and regulate the Ca2+ channels in the membranes.

Which air mass often originates as a different air mass in siberia and is subsequently altered?
podryga [215]
It is a cold Artic air mass over Siberia. Air masses are altered because it doesn't stay in one place and changes as it moves due to the temperature of environment that can be caused by moisture. The cold Artic Mass from Siberia will go to the North Pole, Canada then moves further to the South area.

On the Pacific island of Guam, large herbivorous bats called "flying foxes" commonly feed on cycad seeds, a potent source of neu
Bad White [126]

Flying foxes disperse the Cycad seeds if  the seed sometimes get swallowed whole.

Explanation:

  • Cycads are gymnosperms they do not have seeds enclosed in fruit. Therefore the bats are not attracted to cycad fruit.
  • If the bats were susceptible to neurotoxin then they must not have been the frequent feeders of cycad seeds. Biomagnification of neurotoxin in flying fox is a widely researched topic.
  • Beetles do not have an association with these bats thus the bats must not be assisting them as important pollinating agents.

A marine biologist dredges up a small animal from the bottom of the ocean. it is uniformly segmented, with short, stiff appendag
zhenek [66]

First, a complete digestive system means that the digestive tract has a beginning or the oral end and the opposite end or the aboral end. This is found in more complex animals starting from roundworms (flatworms have an incomplete digestive tract). A closed circulatory system is found in animals more recent than mollusks. The presence of the coelom makes it more evolved than the flatworms. 


Specifically, a small animal with a segmented body, short stiff appendages, and soft skin with the above characteristics point out to the phylum Annelida or annelids.
