Answer:
A) To make sure that the effect is not occuring through actions in the nervous system
Explanation:
In the above scenario, researchers actually studies the effect of hormone to the organ but they are in a situation to study the effect on organ are either hormone base or nervous system base (neurons). For this reason they will cut the neurons to study the effect of hormone on the organ.
So, to check the effect of hormone they should cut the neurons to make sure these effect are not due to actions of nervous system.
b. 10% of energy is transferred from the first to the second trophic level.
Explanation:
In trophic level flow of energy is one way, only a small amount of energy get transferred with the organism. A large amount of energy gets dissipated in life processes like respiration, reproduction and digestion. The energy is also released as waste product. Thus, only ten per-cent of the total energy is present in the organism.
The energy transfer does not depend on the number of trophic levels.
Each trophic level receives the 10% energy from the previous trophic level as when algae is eaten by flagship.
We reject the options a) and b) since the question says that the data supports "equally" both cases - so we have no basis for making a choice either way.
Further, in science the decisions are reached based on facts, not voting, so we also reject the answer D .
We are left with the answer C and this is also the best practice in science - when unsure, leave it as a hypothesis.
1. Paralysis that’s all I know I’m sorry
I had to look for the missing options of this question and here is my answer:
Osteocyte is the term that describes the cells of the bone. These cells are formed in the mesenchyme. Once the bone matures, the processes then take place inside the Lacunae and the Canaliculi, respectively. Therefore, we can say that the structure that allows the provision of nutrients and removal of wastes from osteocytes would be the canaliculi.
