Degger [83]3 years ago

<span>The answer would be:
reduces water loss compared to other nitrogenous wastes, but requires more metabolic energy to produce

Nitrogen waste needs to be removed out of the body. There are a few ways to remove the nitrogen waste but it will vary in the amount of energy used. 
Uric acid is less soluble which makes it won't be secreted in urine, thus reducing the need to urinate and reduce water loss. But the production of uric acid need hydrolysis of ATP, so it needs more energy.
Fish will secrete the waste as ammonia which soluble in water but doesn't need ATP to synthesize.</span>

Andreas93 [3]

Answer – The force of gravity is stronger than the force of magnetism.

 

The attractive force of magnetism is the force that keeps the nails joined to one another and to the end of a bar magnet while the force of gravity is the force acting to pull the nails to the ground. If when Juanita sticks the seventh nail, it falls off the sixth nail, it means that the force of gravity acting on the seventh nail is stronger than the force of magnetism acting on it.

Which statement describes how pioneer species and climax communities are different?
Lorico [155]

Answer: D). Primary species have large numbers of offsprings, and climax communities contain species that have small numbers of offsprings.

An ecological succession is a process of gradual changes occurs in a biological community with respect to changes in the non-living abiotic factors  (water, air and sunlight) and with respect to time until the ecosystem attains stability. Primary or pioneer species are the species which invade the previously barren and primitive landmass for their survival. These species make the environment suitable for the growth of other species. These grow and develop in the initial stages of succession. These species are simple organisms which reproduce asexually and produces large number of offsprings. Examples are lichen and moss. Lichen grows on the surface of rocks and acids released by them causes withering of rocks into soil which facilitate the growth of mosses and other plants. Climax community develops in an ecosystem after replacing many previously inhabiting species. Climax community develops in the end of the ecological succession. It contains species which are highly complex and uses sexual reproduction for the production of offsprings which are less in number as compared to those produced by pioneer species by asexual reproduction.

A _____ is used to reveal the detailed internal structure of a cell.
gladu [14]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Transmission electron microscope

Explanation:

A Microscope is an optical instrument designed to view the microscopic things which could be living or non-living around us.

The internal structure of a microscope can be viewed by a light microscope mainly dark-field microscope but a detailed structure of a microscope can be viewed by an electron microscope mainly a transmission electron microscope.

The transmission electron microscope studies the internals structure of the cell by creating the 2D images by passing the beam of electrons through the specimen.

Thus, a transmission electron microscope is the correct answer.
