Answer;

-Pellicle

Explanation;

-Protist cells may contain a single nucleus or many nuclei; they range in size from microscopic to thousands of meters in area. Protists may have animal-like cell membranes, plant-like cell walls, or may be covered by a pellicle.

-On a paramecium's exterior is found the pellicle. The pellicle is stiff to maintain the paramecium's shape and provide stability but it is also flexible to allow movement. It also acts as an attachment site for external organelles such as cilia.

Answer:

Pellicle.  

Explanation:

Malaria is the most significant parasitic disease of human. The disease is caused by protozoan of the genus Plasmodium. The most serious malignant malaria is caused by <em>Plasmodium falciparum.</em> It is transmitted by the female Anopheles  mosquito. Plasmodium is a protist that cause malaria. Different types of species of the plasmodium are: P.vivax, P.malaria, P.ovale and P.falciparum which causes the most serious malignant called malaria.  

Protist have animal-cell like membrane and is plasmodium is the example of protist. Its contain single nuclei or many nuclei. On a paracium exterior found a pellicle. Pellicle is a layered structure which surrounds the cells in many types of protozoa and also surrounds the cytoplasm. It is the non-extracellular like the cell wall of plants.

The exquisite complexity of traits such as the vertebrate eye seems to pose a problem for evolution by natural selection. How do
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - complex eyes evolved in the gradual steps, each of which was fully functional and adaptive in improving visual acuity.

Explanation:

The natural selection of the complex traits such as the vertebrate eye (complex eye) are seems to be problematic, many biologist think that the complex eyes evolution is take place in gradual steps and each step of this evolution was adaptive and functional in improving the visual acuity.

The steps that were involved are like light sensitivity patch, a deepening hole or pit that help in sharp vision and many other random evolution steps.

Thus, the correct answer is- complex eyes evolved in the gradual steps, each step of this evolution was fully functional and adaptive that helps in improving visual acuity.

Answer:

Ballistochory. So it is called when the seeds are forcefully or explosively spread. The aim is to "throw" the seed from the parent plant as far as possible.

Explanation:

This is what is known by the violent and explosive dispersal of the seeds. The aim is to "throw" the seed from the parent plant as far as possible. (This works because the wind resistance is not high for seeds.)

Which of the following situations accurately describes a difference between a food chain and a food web?
hoa [83]

“A carnivore eats both a rabbit and a mouse in a food web” accurately describes a difference between a food chain and a food web.

 

<span>A food chain is a series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy. An example could be a forest food-chain. The bear is the top of the food chain. The bear eats a coyote. The coyote ate the rabbit. The rabbit ate the grass. Since the grass can't technically eat anything, it's the bottom of the food chain and the food chain ends. </span>

 

<span>A food web is a diagram showing the various different plants and animals in an ecosystem in relation to each other. It encompasses many consumers of each different level, acknowledging that one predator may eat several different kinds of prey, and that one kind of prey may be eaten by several kinds of predators. There are many food chains within a food web, and one creature is not necessarily at the top of the hierarchy. </span>

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
