Common name: Black-footed ferret

Scientific name: Mustela nigripes

Their primary pray is the prairie dog

When Farmers and ranchers eliminated many prairie dogs because their underground complexes were destructive to fields, the black-footed ferret were nearly wiped out. The disappearance of ferrets was also due to factors like plague and canine distemper, that drove the ferrets to near extinction. But then some animals were captured in the wild to begin a captive breeding program to reintroduce ferrets in western habitat.

During the winter season, the tree branches get dormant.

Explanation:

As the winter season starts, many plants show very slower metabolism that is the growth of the plants become very slow.

During the winter, there is very low amount of sunlight that the plants receive and so the synthesis of chlorophyll by the plants also in very small amount, and so there is least amount of sugar to metabolize by means of a slower Photosynthesis.

These tree branches become dormant during winter season, and it is mostly covered with the scales.

In Experiment 5, how did the shape of the epidermal cells in the outer skin surface slide compare to the shape of the epidermal

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The cells in the outer skin surface appeared flat, whereas the cells in the cross section were not flat.

Explanation:

The epidermis is made up of five cell layers, which have different functions: Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.

Stratum basale is the innermost germinative, single, basal layer of the epidermis composed of basal cuboidal-shaped cells. These cells are the precursor of keratinocytes, this is why this layer is also called germinativum. In this basal layer, there are also Merkel cells as well as melanocytes.

Stratum spinosum refers to the keratinocytes which produce keratin.

Stratum granulosum, this is the layer where keratinization begins. Cells produce hard granules that change to keratin and lipids as they ascend.

Stratum lucidum is conformed of densely compressed cells, which begins to flatten and appear indistinguishable between each other.

Stratum corneum is the most external layer, composed of dead, flattened cells which are released regularly in a process known as desquamation.

How have freshwater and salt water fish adapted to deal with osmosis in their respective environments?

DaniilM [7]

Answer:
