Sponges are similar to other animals in that they are multicellular, heterotrophic, lack cell walls and produce sperm cells. Unlike other animals, they lack true tissues and organs, and have no body symmetry.
The shapes of their bodies are adapted for maximal efficiency of water
flow through the central cavity, where it deposits nutrients, and leaves
through a hole called the osculum. Many sponges have internal skeletons of spongin and/or spicules of calcium carbonate or silicon dioxide. All sponges are sessile
aquatic animals. Although there are freshwater species, the great
majority are marine (salt water) species, ranging from tidal zones to
depths exceeding 8,800 m (5.5 mi).
Oh this one is so cool!
It basically all boils down to Vitamin D! We need this essential vitamin to help our body build hormones and regulate calcium. Our bodies make Vitamin D when we are exposed to the UV rays found in sunlight. But as we all know, too much sunlight isn’t good because these UV rays can harm us. Melanin (the chemical that our bodies produce to darken skin tone and hair color) provides protection from UV rays by absorbing them. However, this means that the more melanin that is produced by someone’s body results in less absorption of UV rays and a decrease in Vitamin D production. But for someone living around the equator or in the tropics that doesn’t matter because there’s lots of sun all the time. So for humans living in these areas where there’s lots of sunlight year round, it’s beneficial to have darker skin to protect from the harm of UV rays. People living in these areas still get plenty of Vitamin D though because of that year round sunshine.
Now what about those who’s skin has less melanin, such as those found in the higher latitudes? Well with less sunlight year round, their bodies had to adapt to be able to get enough Vitamin D. So less melanin is produced by the body in order to absorb the lesser amounts of UV rays to make Vitamin D. Lighter skin is, therefore, more beneficial the farther away you go from the tropics.
So essentially:
Pro of Darker Skin tones
-Protection from harmful UV rays
Con of Darker Skin tones
-Less absorption of UV rays and less production of Vitamin D
Pro of Lighter Skin tones
-Greater absorption of UV rays and more Vitamin D production
Con of Lighter Skin tones
-Less protection from harmful UV rays (resulting in sunburns and, in extreme cases, skin cancer)
This is of course the biology answer. The social impacts of different skin tones is a whole different story that you can ask in the history section.
Answer:
Due to increment in food chains.
Explanation:
Biodiversity is actually the measure of changes in the ecosystem, genetic levels and various species levels. The sea otters introduced in California over last fifty years, increased the diversity in the ecosystem as well as in species too, thus changing the biodiversity. This was the impact of increase in food web in that particular area, the number of consumers, producers and prey increased thus increasing the biodiversity.
Answer:
Damage to one side of the occipital lobe causes homonomous loss of vision with exactly the same "field cut" in both eyes. Disorders of the occipital lobe can cause visual hallucinations and illusions.
Explanation
Image result for Damage to a small part of the occipital lobe would most likely result in a:.
Injury to the occipital lobes may lead to vision impairments such as blindness or blind spots; visual distortions and visual inattention. The occipital lobes are also associated with various behaviors and functions that include: visual recognition; visual attention; and spatial analysis.
We use samples to perform experiments. When sampling, we take test subjects from a larger group often known as "<em>population</em>" or at times "<em>universe</em>".
Sampling is a term we use to describe the process of selecting a small representitive group from a larger population. Sampling can often be divided in its simplest form into:
- <u>Random Samples</u>
- <u>Non-Random Samples.</u>
Which as their names imply, represent first a sample that is chosen by not specific method and whose probability is equal for the entire <em>population</em>, and secondly a sample chosen based on specific parameters.
Sampling can then become more complex, being divided into more complex methods such as:
- <u>Systematic sampling
</u>
- <u>Stratified sampling
</u>
- <u>Cluster sampling</u>
etc.
The one thing all of the sampling methods have in common is the fact that they will all draw their samples from one place. This place or aspect from which samples are drawn is known as the <em>population</em> <em>group </em>or sometimes coined as the <em>universe</em>, to represent the group in its entirety.
