Salmon are predators to shrimp.

This makes sense because a predator is an animal that hunts another animal to survive. Since salmon feed on shrimp, they must be a predator.

Additionally, we can eliminate the other possibilities by process of elimination:

-B is incorrect as a parasite is an organism that lives inside of another organism. Since salmon do not live inside of shrimp, this doesn't make sense.

-C is incorrect because a host is an organism that a parasite lives inside of. Since shrimp do not live inside of salmon, this also can be removed.

-D is incorrect because prey is an animal that is eaten by another animal. Since shrimp to not eat salmon, this can also be eliminated.

Therefore, A is our answer.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the pair of disaccharides

Aneli [31]

A disaccharide (also called a double sugar or biose[1]) is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides (simple sugars) are joined. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose,[2] and maltose.

Disaccharides are formed by the condensation reactions of two simple sugar molecules.

Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer and Explanation:

When talking about heart diseases, there are numerous factors that may aggraviate or increase the risk for heart disease, such as lifestyle choices including diet, drug consumption, smoking, etc.

High blood cholesterol levels - consuming food high in cholesterol leads to the congregation of extra cholesterol in the the arteries.

Solutions: reduce the consumption of food that is high in cholesterol, such as eggs, cheese, and meat (especially red meat).

Low physical activity - increases the probabilities of having obesity and high cholesterol, which could lead to heart disease.

Solutions: practice exercise often, e.g. a walk in the park every evening, going to the gym, running, swimming, etc.

Smoking - this increases the probability of having a heart disease as it damages both the heart and blood vessels.

Solutions: avoid smoking at all costs.
