What physical and behavioral adaptations do zebras have that help them evade predators? a. live in families and travel in large

numbers for protection; bunch together to confuse the predator with their stripes or run away at speeds up to 40 m.p.h;.sharp teeth and strong hoofs to defend themselves b. live solitary lives unless feeding when they bunch together for protection; short legs and necks so predators have harder time holding on when attacked; stripes so they blend in with their surroundings c. live in families and travel in large numbers for protection; sharp teeth for defense; develop stripes as they mature to better blend in with the herd because they are provided less protection from their parents d. feed primarily at night for safety from predators; scatter to feed so predators have a harder time finding them; long necks to see over tall grasses and spot predators before they get too close

I thought I already answered this but anyways, the answer is A. Zebras will live and graze in herds. When a predator spooks the herd the zebras run as one. That ways it confuses let's say the lion because they see in black and white. To them they see racing stripes so it's hard for them to decide which zebra to take down. If running together backfires, the zebras will stand their ground and protect the weaker and younger zebras by kicking and biting the lions. Hope this helps!

Match each of the four barriers of innate immunity with its mode of action.
serg [7]

The matches are

A. anatomical barrier   is matched with 1. secretion of sweat, saliva,  and tears.

The epithelium is a physical barrier constituting one of the first defenses against infectious agents. The desquamation of the epidermis thus eliminates bacteria or other infectious agents that have adhered to the surface of the epithelium. In the digestive tract and the respiratory tract, the movement operated by the peristalsis or the eyelashes contribute to the elimination of the infectious agents. The intestinal flora prevents colonization by pathogenic bacteria acting in particular by competition for nutrients. Tears and saliva also help prevent infection of the eyes and mouth, respectively.


B. physiological barrier   is matched with 4. changes in pH and  temperature.

In addition to this physical (or anatomical) barrier, the acidic pH and low moisture content of the stratum corneum, and the skin temperature below 37 ° C, are detrimental to bacterial growth. Finally, the presence of antimicrobial peptides and lipids make the epidermis a true defender against infection.


C. phagocytic barrier  is matched with 3. signaling to macrophages.

Macrophages are cells belonging to white blood cells (leucocytes), which infiltrate tissues. They come from the differentiation of circulating blood leukocytes, monocytes. Monocytes and macrophages are phagocytes and are therefore capable of phagocytosis.

They participate in innate immunity as a non-specific defense, but are able to participate in adaptive immunity via opsonization.


D. inflammatory barrier  is matched with 2. secretion of chemicals.

In an inflammatory reaction, blood flow increases at the lesion area. The blood vessels become more permeable thanks to vasodilator chemical substances, which allows the migration of cells from the blood to the tissues (the call is made using chemokines). The first cells arriving at the site of inflammation are often neutrophils, then macrophages arrive and then lymphocytes if there is immune stimulation.

Select all the potential effects of damming a river.
bonufazy [111]

The answer is; C & E

Building a dam alters the water regime down the dam. The dam also affects fish migration along the river, alters the transportation of sediments by the river downstream, and changes temperatures within the local environment of the dam. These changes, however, the subtle effect the ecosystem around the dam and down the river. The potential energy of the water held by the dam is, however, high and used to produce more electricity.
