Answer: As a collective functional unit, the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg are responsible for DORSIFLEXION AND INVERSION OF THE FOOT AT THE ANKLE JOINT

Explanation:

There are four muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg.

1. Tibialis anterior

2. Extensor digitorum longus

3. Extensor hallucis longus and

4. Fibularis tertius.

Based on their origins and insertions on the foot, contraction of these four muscles will lead to a shortening of the muscle’s body and cause the dorsum of the foot to be pulled towards the leg. This movement is known as dorsiflexion. Also, certain muscles from this group assist in the inversion of the foot.

The muscles in this compartment are innervated by the deep fibular nerve (L4-S1), and blood is supplied via the anterior tibial artery.

An approach that uses passive solar heating instead of electricity for businesses and homes is known as A. Daylighting.

<h3>What is daylighting?</h3>

This is the illumination of buildings with natural light through the practice of placing reflective surfaces so that sunlight can provide effective internal lighting.

Solar heating is the use of sunlight to heat water or air in the buildings using radiant light and heat which is harnessed using a range of technology such as solar power to generate electricity.

Hence, we can see that neither weatherizing, green roofing nor cool roofing is the answer because they do not deal with providing passive solar heating, but daylighting uses passive solar heating.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

This crack shown in the lithosphere was created by the movement of two or more tectonic plates. What is this crack called?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Fault

Explanation:

A break or crack in earth's lithosphere along with rocks move. Earth is made up of 4 basic layers a crust,mantle,outer core,inner core and lithosphere.  A solid crust and hard layers of mantle  make up a region name the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of pieces of tectonic plates. These plates are constantly changing and move towards the mantle. Non-stop movement of tectonic plates causes stress on the earth's outermost layer i.e,the crust. When these stresses extends it leads to cause cracks called faults.

What type of body shape and tail shape do the triggerfish and hawkfish have? select one:
Dima020 [189]
Triggerfish and hawks fish. They have depressed body shape and their tail is diphycercal. Their tail shape gives them manoeuvrability and their body shape allows them to fit into small places on the reefs which makes them good for adaptations.
Shark fish; they have fusiform body shape and heterocercal tail shape and their good adaptation help them to be top predators and need speed to hunt down their animal.
Stingray; they have depressed body shape and diphycercal tail shape. Their good adaptation helps them to timid fish who feed and hide along the bottom.

According to the passage, which mechanism explains the observed changes in fish size over time?

A. Smaller fish produce fewer eggs than larger fish do, so they contribute fewer offspring to the next

generation.

B. Fish that are small enough to escape fishing nets are more likely to survive than larger fish.

C. Scientists found that Atlantic silversides exhibited changes in feeding and foraging rates after four

generations of selection,

D. The average size of pink salmon returning to spawn decreased from 6.0 pounds to approximately 4.5

pounds.
