The inside surface area is shaped in a crescent. It consists of a spiral valve which is made up of the small intestine. Although the dogfish shark has a relatively short small intestine compared to other animals, therefore, the spiral valve allows for a more compact form of the small intestine.
Hence, this structure provides maximum surface area over a relatively short distance in order to make the absorption of nutrients efficient achieved from the food, the sharks had from eating different sea animals.

Nuetrik [128]

In diagnosing thyroid disease, thyroid function must be established first. This can be done by testing for the TSH, T4 and T3 in the serum. After testing for the thyroid function, ultrasound must be done, this can help us to visualize if the nodules are cystic or solid. Ultrasound can also help establishing the size of the tumor as well as if there is an invasion. FNAB can be done to determine the presence of malignancy, before doing this patient must be in euthyroid state. Hyperthyroid patient can lead into thyroid storm if FNAB was done without knowing the thyroid function of the patient.

Using a geometric growth model to predict population growth, a population of 10 individuals at time zero with a finite growth ra

Grace [21]

Answer: Option E, in 12 years.

Explanation:

A geometric growth model is characterized by its finite growth rate, known as lambda. The size of the population after a unit of time has passed can be calculated using the last known size and lamba as:

$N_{t+1} = \lambda * N_t$

Starting from the initial value of population, the next one will be calculated multiplying by 1.4, and the next one multiplying again by 1.4, thus we can define a function that relates the time passed in year to the size of the population:

$N(t) = \lambda^{t} *N_0$

Substituting our values we get the function that defines the growth of our poupulation:

$N(t) = 1.4^{t} *10$

Then, we just have to clear the t that gives a population of 500:

$500 = 1.4^t*10, divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 10\\50 = 1.4^t, apply\ log_{1.4}(x)\ to\ both\ sides\\log_{1.4}(50)=t\\11.63=t$

Thus, at 12 years, the population will be greater than 500.

AnnyKZ [126]

The "Life Cycle" is a characteristics of both plants and animals.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A sequence of modifications in the shape an organism experiences before it returns to its initial state, is basically discussed in biological life cycle for both flaura and fauna .
The approach is tightly correlated to those of the past, creation, and ontogeny of life, but in emphasizing renewal varies.
The seed, germination, growth, reproduction, pollination, and seed spreading stages is covered under plant life cycle.
While birth, growth, reproduction and death is covered under animal life cycle.
Life cycle is a protocol of adopting procedures for those who carry inhale and exhale process.
