The answer is that the equatorial regions receive sun rays closest to the vertical (direct rays) because of their position relative to the equator where the tilting of the earth only mildly affects the climate. The climate along the equator changes very little through out the year and has summer like conditions for most of the year.

However the other regions may receive direct sun rays but for far more limited periods. In the months of July and August (summer months), the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and receives the most direct rays. The opposite occurs in December and January when it is tilted away from the sun and thus winter sets in, whereas the southern hemisphere is at this time tilted toward the sun and receives the most direct sun rays.

What happens to urchins if the oxygen percent concentration drops too low for an extended period of time?

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Since sea urchins are picky, they are used as indicator organisms in public aquariums to determine if the system is functioning properly. This is because they are very "picky" about water quality. If the water is contaminated, the sea urchins will be the first to show signs of stress, spines laying down or falling off. Do use an aquarium filter and do clean up the day after feeding. Any metal exposed to the seawater will corrode and poison the tank. A dying sea urchin will often spawn out and rot out, causing the others in the tank to spawn and die as welll.

While the ovum is on its way to the uterus, a successful mating results in the presence of sperm cells in the fallopian tube. On

Oksanka [162]

If the sperm cell fertilises the ovum, and implantation does not occur, then the corpus luteum degenerates and it turns into corpus albicans, stopping progesterone secretion. If fertilisation occurs and implantation also, the syncytiotrophoblast, the "root part" of the blastocyst (one of the early structures originated from the zygote), produces a hormone that is called <span>human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The hCG is what makes the corpus luteum keep secreting progesterone and maintain itself. The progesterone will then help keep the endometrium and, therefore, allow the development of the embryo to happen.</span>
