Answer:

D. The enteric nervous system will slow down digestion to conserve energy.

Explanation:

The enteric nervous system is like the digestive system's very own brain. It controls the way the digestive system functions. In a fight or flight response, the enteric system slows down the digestive system, this is to make sure that the body has enough energy to course through our muscles and brain to prepare for a "fight" or "flight."

MAVERICK [17]

Hey there!

El Nino typically involves waters with a warmer than usual surface temperature, a flatter thermocline (cooler water moves to the surface), and weaker trade winds. As for La Nina, think of it as the opposite of El Nino. There will be stronger trade winds, and cooler surface water temperatures.

dolphi86 [110]
The answer is: homologous; common; homoplastic.

<span>The bones in the wings of birds and bats are <u>homologous</u> because they derived from a <u>common</u> ancestor, while the wings are <u>homoplastic</u> traits. Homologous structures are similar structures shared by different groups and that are derived from a common ancestor. The similar anatomy of bones in the wings of birds and bats is inherited from a common ancestor of tetrapods (to which birds and bats belong). However, wings are not inherited from the common ancestor of birds and bats. Therefore, wins are homoplastic traits (analogous structures) because they have similar function but they are not inherited from the common ancentor.</span>

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I AM BEING TIMED!!!
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Apart from poisoning the fish, this toxic fishing activity kills animals that are essential to the aquatic environment, such as corals, and provide food and shelter for a number of marine species. One square meter of coral reef is lost with every fish captured using this method. Also, overfishing has the potential to deplete main reef habitats and damage coral habitat. In many places, rapid human population growth, increased demand, the use of more advanced fishery technology, and insufficient maintenance and regulation have resulted in the extinction of key coral species and habitat damage.
