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

rotoxins. The flying foxes do not visit male cones. Consequently, which of the following statements should be accurate? A) Flying foxes disperse cycad seeds if the seeds sometimes get swallowed whole (in other words, without getting chewed). B) Flying foxes assist the beetles as important pollinating agents of the cycads C) Flying foxes are highly susceptible to the effects of the neurotoxins because the toxin attacks the action of the central nervous system. D) Flying foxes are attracted to cycad fruit and eat the enclosed seeds only by accident.

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.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Muscles pull on the joints, allowing us to move.Muscles make up half of a person's body weight. They are connected to bones by tough, cord-like tissues called tendons, which allow the muscles to pull on bones. If you wiggle your fingers, you can see the tendons on the back of your hand move as they do their work.

What is the basic formula for monosaccharides and how is the shape determined?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Monosaccharides are simple sugars with a basic formula Cⁿ (H2O)ⁿ. They are classified according to the number of carbon atoms they contain: tetroses (4), pentoses (5) and hexoses (6). There are also mosaccharides with 3 carbon atoms, for example the Dihydroxyacetone.

Explanation:

Monosaccharides have to be aldehydes (-CHO) or ketones (-COO) with more than one alcohol function, which will be located in different carbons.
