<h2>Answer:</h2>

Antagonistic.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
  • Muscles generally work in groups or pairs.
  • Muscles are connected to bones via tendons, these tendons and muscles help in movement of a joint.
  • When a muscle is put in contraction, usually only one bone moves.  For example on contraction of biceps of the arm contracts then the radius moves but the scapula does not move.
  • This type of muscle action is called antagonistic muscle action. In which the muscle which is working is called the prime mover or agonist and the relaxing muscle is called the antagonist.  

Result: The muscle action in which a muscle works against another muscle is called antagonistic.

stira [4]

Answer:

<u>a food web</u>

Explanation:

What they saw was a food web, which refers to connections of food chains showing how energy and nutrients are transferred from one organism to the other.

In this example, we observe there are <u>seven</u> organisms (fish, algae, snails, insects, frogs, raccoons + bacteria contained in the pond) in focus here.

The green algae are Producers (because it produces its own food, not dependant on others)

The bacteria act as Decomposers. ( because they process organic waste into meaningful natural nutrients again)

The other organisms are Consumers. (because they are dependant on others for their nutrition).

The red-legged frog breeds in ephemeral ponds from January through March. Its relative, the bullfrog, breeds in permanent ponds
LekaFEV [45]

The red-legged frog breeds in ephemeral ponds from January through March. Its relative, the bullfrog, breeds in permanent ponds from late March through May. There are two pre-mating isolation mechanism at play here,

1. Ecological isolation: The habitats are different, hence the individuals of both the species do not meet. Ephemeral ponds are temporary ponds that develop during rainy days, while the permanent ponds are full of water throughout the year.

2. Temporal isolation: The time of mating is different for both the species to avoid contact between the individuals of closely related species. Red-legged frogs mate in January to March slot and the bullfrog in the March to May slot.
