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.

If you turned a frog egg upside down, you would expect it to reorient relative to gravity because?
lianna [129]

If you turned a frog egg upside down, you would expect it to reorient relative to gravity because the dense yolk granules concentrated in the vegetal hemisphere of the egg respond to gravity.

The frog egg is very large as compared to the normal egg cell. It is unevenly distributed with a top dark colored pole called animal pole and a light yolky pole called a vegetal pole.

The vegetal pole is concentrated with the yolk that is present for providing the nourishment to the growing embryo. The animal pole is the one from where the sperm enters and the development of embryo take place.

As the vegetal pole is denser as compared to animal pole so it will respond to the gravity and reorient along the direction of gravity.

The large surface area in the gut directly facilitates _____.
Flura [38]

Answer:

B. Absorption

Explanation:

  • Absorption is a process that takes place in the small intestines or ileum of the GI tract, in which simple and soluble nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream.
  • Absorption is enhanced by several adaptations of the gut such as large surface area of the gut which directly facilitates absorption of nutrients.
  • Presence of villi and microvilli in the gut increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients in the ileum.

Write three observations that could help you identify a fish.
Alex
The three observations that could help an individual in distinguising whether the organism is a fish or not is that it should live under water as fish can't survive without water, another thing is that it should laid eggs when it comes to giving birth because when it does not lay eggs but produces a living organism normally without an egg, it is considered to be a mammal and lastly, the appearance it possess such as having gils or fins.

Even land that is now very diverse once started out as what?
evablogger [386]

As of right now, the land is pretty spread out. But millions of years ago, like, we're talking dino time, all the land was just one chunk. This chunk was called Pangaea, or Pangea. But before everything split apart into multiple continents, there was just one; a supercontinent. Hope that helps!
