The statement that the integument is strictly composed of the skin and It does not include the various accessory structures that may be present on or beneath the skin layers is False.
<h3>Composition of integument</h3>
- Together with the underlying epidermal cells that secrete the cuticle, the cuticle and integument make up the skin.
- The cuticle functions as the insect's exoskeleton, the location of muscle attachment, and the first line of protection against fungi, bacteria, predators, parasites, and environmental toxins, including pesticides.
- The integument plays a role in behavior, osmoregulation, water control, eating, excretion, desiccation resistance, and as a food reserve.
- The complexity of the structure and chemistry of an insect's integument as well as the unique ways in which it has been modified to work within its owner's environment serve as some indicators of the variety of roles that these coverings play.

Not for long. We use oxygen for cellular respiration and plants make oxygen so if all the plants died, we would only have so long to live
The abiotic factor that is essential for all aquatic ecosystem with the exception of hydro thermal vent is SUNLIGHT, THIS IS BECAUSE IT PROVIDES A SOURCE OF ENERGY.
Sunlight is very essential for aquatic ecosystems because it is the principal source of energy from which aquatic plants trap energy to make their food and provided mean of sustenance for themselves and other organisms in the water.
The correct answer is delirium.
The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a psychiatric tool used to assess and identify delirium in patients. According to the first observations and the patient's responses to CAM, the nurse can conclude that the patient exhibits signs of delirium. This is because he is unable to concentrate and organize his thinking, he is inattentive, he is lethargic and all these behaviours are sudden and acute. These symptoms cannot be associated with dementia, as dementia develops gradually and doesn't affect attention and consciousness. Also, the symptoms don't point to depression since depressive patients are focused and attentive. Finally, the nurse cannot conclude that the patient is dehydrated because further tests need to be conducted to assess hydration.
I'm not sure, but I think it would be mud.
