The scientific name of the sugar maple is Acer saccharum. What does each part of the name designate?
irinina [24]

Answer:Acer represents the genus name while

saccharum represents the species.

Explanation:

In a way to classify organisms, biologists used certain important common features to structure them into groups. The arrangement of living organisms in this hierarchy from the highest level to the lowest is as follows:

Kingdom--> phylum-->class-->order--> Family-->genus--> species.

The largest group of organisms is kingdom while species is the smallest unit of classification.

The common name of the plant used in the question above is sugar maple. Biologist, however, use a standard system to name living organisms. Each kind of organism is given two names, hence the term BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.

--> The first name is the name of the genus to which the organism belongs.

--> The second name is the name of the species to which it belongs.

Both names are printed in italics with only the genus name having an initial capital letter. Hence, the scientific name of sugar maple is Acer saccharum( in italics).

DiKsa [7]

Answer and explanation;

Slow spreading rate

Top middle- rift valley  

Top Right- poorly- developed magma chamber

Rapid Speading rate

Top left- Swell

Top Right- Well- Developed magma chamber

Bottom middle- Diverging plates

Explanation;

-Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.

-This is what happens at the mid-oceanic ridge where a divergent boundary is causing two plates to move away from one another resulting in spreading of the sea floor. As the plates move apart, new material wells up and cools onto the edge of the plates.

It can be inferred from the results of the study that 20 seconds is sufficient time for what to have occurred in green cones in
Ket [755]

Answer:

The process of Desensitization    

Explanation:

Subjects are able to perceive a residual image once the green cones in the retina get desensitized. Since every group involved in this study reported having seen a rather intense residual image, we can safely conclude that the green cones did indeed get desensitized.
