Answer:Over time, carbon-14 decays in predictable ways. And with the help of radiocarbon dating, researchers can use that decay as a kind of clock that allows them to peer into the past and determine absolute dates for everything from wood to food, pollen, poop, and even dead animals and humans.

Answer:
The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.
Explanation:
The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.
The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.
Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).
Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.
Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.
Answer:
Herbivore that feeds on producers
Explanation:
The producers are plants at the bottom of the food web. These are eaten by herbivores, that are the primary consumers.
Herbivores themselves are consumed by carnivores, which are secondary consumers.
Sometimes, these carnivores can be consumed by top predators, like a shark, snake or eagle.
<u>Options and why they are right/wrong</u>
Carnivore that feeds on producers - carnivores do not feed on producers
Herbivore that feeds on producers - this is correct
Herbivore that feeds on primary consumers - primary consumers are animals and herbivores do not eat animals
Carnivore that feeds on primary consumers - this would be a secondary consumer
Answer:
Results in the evolution of the species: Directional selection
Results in new species: Disruptive selection
Favors traits at the two extremes: Disruptive selection
No increase in diversity: Directional selection
One extreme trait is favored: Directional selection
Diversity decreases: Stabilizing selection
Diversity increases: Disruptive selection
Explanation:
Directional selection which is also known as positive selection is known to be a mode of natural selection. In this type of selection, an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. This makes the allele frequency to move in the direction of that phenotype and this takes place over time.
Disruptive selection (known to be diversifying selection) talks about the certain changes in the population genetics whereby extreme values of a particular trait are favored over intermediate values. This results in new species.
While Stabilizing selection is a natural selection whereby there is a stabilization of the population mean on the particular value of a non-extreme trait. Here the diversity is decreases.
