Some species of cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds. When the birds hatch, the other species tends to the cuckoo’

s young as their own. While the other species takes care of their young, the parent cuckoos collect food for themselves and produce more offspring. How does this tactic affect the survival of the cuckoos and the offspring of the birds that care for young cuckoos?
A) It increases survival for both.
B) It decreases survival for both.
C) It increases survival for cuckoos, but decreases survival of the other birds.
D) It decreases survival for cuckoos, but increases survival of the other birds.

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) It increases survival for cuckoos, but decreases survival of the other birds.

The host chicks often face lots of competition from the cuckoo chicks in terms of food as well as space. It makes it difficult for the host chicks to survive.

It has also been found that cuckoo chicks beg to be fed more intensely due to which host chick die due to starvation.  

In addition, in some species of cuckoo, cuckoo chicks remove host eggs from the nest within few days of hatching.

b. does all of these
c. destroys damaged red blood cells
d. stores vitamin D
e. forms urea

The right answer is: B. </span>does all of these

*The liver plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates:- gluconeogenesis (manufacture of a new glucose molecule from a non-carbohydrate molecule);- glycogenolysis (release of glucose from glycogen) under the effect of glucagon;- gluconeogenesis (storage of glucose in the form of glycogen) under the effect of insulin
*It stores fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K and E) and glycogen.*It converts ammonia to urea (detoxification)<span>*It recycles substances from the senescent red blood cells.</span>

The binding of the neurotransmitter to receptors on the motor end plate causes which of the following to occur?
lutik1710 [3]

The correct answer is: Binding of the neurotransmitter causes chemically gated sodium channels to open in the motor end plate (junctional folds of the sarcolemma) and sodium enters the cell.

Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the voltage-gated channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells. Neurotransmitter ACh binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell). Depolarization occurs because sodium enters the cell as a result of neurotransmitter receptor binding.

How does crystal size compare in extrusive vs. intrusive rock? Explain the cause of this difference
Ede4ka [16]
The difference between extrusive and intrusive rocks are how they cool down. Extrusive rocks cool down quickly and are created by lava; because of this they have very small, fine-grained crystals. Intrusive rocks cool slowly beneath the surface of the earth and are created by magma; because the cooling process is very slow the rocks have very large crystals.

Many animals are grouped together in a particular environment that best satisfies their needs. Which is their likely pattern of
Stolb23 [73]
<span>Clumped dispersion is the most common type found in nature. The distance between neighboring individual is at a minimum. This is common among organisms that are usually preyed such as in herds or family groups. Evenly spaced distribution maximizes the distances between individuals. There is usually competition for a resource. Penguins are an example of this distribution. Random distribution or unpredictable spacing is the least common among the three. Each individual is independent of the other. They occur in environments that have consistent environmental resources and conditions. </span>
