<h2>(B) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

  • The area between 200 and 1,000 meters (656 and 3,280 feet) is the mesopelagic or “twilight” zone  
  • Light intensity in this zone is severely reduced with increasing depth, so light penetration is minimal
  • About 20 percent of primary production from the surface falls down to the mesopelagic zone
  • There are no plants in this zone, because there is not enough light for photosynthesis
  • Octopus, squid, and the hatchet fish are some of the animals that can be found in this zone
  • Many animals in this zone have thin bodies that help them hide from predators
  • Some animals that live in this zone make their own light with bioluminescence
  • They make light with special organs in their bodies called photophores which give off a greenish light

Answer:

I believe it would decrease

Explanation:

The high temperature will be detected by sensors—primarily nerve cells with endings in your skin and brain—and relayed to a temperature-regulatory control center in your brain. The control center will process the information and activate effectors—such as the sweat glands—whose job is to oppose the stimulus by bringing body temperature down.

icang [17]

Answer:The correct reason is that the bacteria must amend themselves to the content of the nutrient in the novel medium, has to produce essential amino acids, growth factors, and other enzymes in order to survive.

In the field of microbiology, to inoculate means basically to present or insert one substance into another. For example, one could inoculate a culture of bacteria with some kind of chemical constituent, or it can be said that one introduces the chemical compound into the culture of the bacteria.
