Answer:

The exoskeleton of meal worm is made up of chitin.The amount of chitin is 13% in the body of larva of meal worm.

Explanation:

The larval form of darkling beetle is called meal worm which are edible in Southeast Asia.Baked and fried meal worm is a edible healthy food source.

Meal worm is rich in mineral and nutrient.100 gm of raw meal worm provides 206 calories,14-25 gm of protein and other minerals like potassium,sodium,zinc,selenium,copper,iron etc

More over it contain essential vitamin.

They are used as a food for dog,fish,reptiles,birds and are also used in fishing bait.

The juvenile hormone is applied in meal worm so that they will remain in the larval form and don't undergo adult stage.

Two solutions will be prepared with the mixture of distilled water and stock solution of KMnO4 (10 mM). Give the correct volumes
Yanka [14]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Recall that the law of dilution states that the number of moles before dilution must be equal to the number of moles after dilution.</em>

Mathematically,

     molarity x number of moles before dilution = molarity x number of moles after dilution.

For solution A: final molarity = 3 mM, final volume = 2mL, initial molarity of KMnO4 = 10 mM

Applying the equation:

    10 x initial volume = 3 x 2

        initial volume = 6/10 = 0.6

<u>Hence, Tube A should be made with 0.6 mL of 10 mM KMnO4 stock and  1.4 mL of distilled water to give a solution of 2 mL 3 mM KMnO4.</u>

For solution B:final molarity = 8 mM, final volume = 2 mL, initial molarity = 10 mM

    10 x initial volume = 8 x 2

       initial volume = 16/10 = 1.6

<u>Hence, Tube B should be made with 1.6 mL of 10 mM KMnO4 stock and 0.4 mL of distilled water to give a solution of 2 mL 8mM KMnO4. </u>

10 points! When looking out of my back door, I see robins, blue jays, finches, crows, hawks and owls all living in the same area
forsale [732]

The possibility for all of the mentioned birds to live all in a same area is because they are all specialized and occupy a certain niche in the food chain, thus not standing in each others ways when it comes to competition for food.

All of these birds have adapted to be able to survive in their respective environment, developing characteristics that will enable them to be superior in something. Through natural selection, the individuals that were performing better, got the chance to mate, thus the offspring was better adapted and stronger in its niche of the food chain.

The robins and the blue jays are birds that are very opportunistic in their food choice, thus giving them greater flexibility and ability to survive, they mostly feed on worms, insects, fruits, vegetables, so they have a big menu.

The finches are specialized in eating nuts and seeds, thus avoiding the competition with the previous two, thus having that food type for themselves.

The owls and hawks are both birds of pray, but the owls hunt mostly at night, while the eagles during the day. Also, the owls prefer to have rodents as their pray, while the hawks are mostly eating other birds, thus not standing in each other's ways.
