In a freshwater lake, a population of bony fish called the stickleback were studied over several decades. The presence of armor

plating over the bodies of the males was noted. The data is shown below. What explains the trend shown in the data for the freshwater sticklebacks?
A) Armor-plating offered a protection from predation, therefore the presence of armor-plating increased in frequency.

B) Partially plated males were the preferred mating partner with female sticklebacks, causing an increase in partial armor frequency.

C) Armor-plated males were more efficient at migrating to salt water areas for reproduction, resulting in armor-plating increasing in frequency.

D) Armor-plated males were slower at acquiring food compared to the non-armored phenotypes, resulting in non-armored males to increase in frequency.

A food which has been grown without the use of some but not all synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or bio engineering could be labeled--- True

What are organic foods ?

-Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients, antibiotics, or growth hormones

When a food is labeled as organic this means that no pesticides have been used in its production?

Produce can be called organic if it's certified to have grown on soil that had no prohibited substances applied for three years prior to harvest. Prohibited substances include most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Are organic food safer?

According to USDA data, organic foods have fewer pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce. But the amounts for both types of produce are within the level for safe consumption.

What is the meaning of organic farming?

organic farming, agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls and biological fertilizers derived largely from animal and plant wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops.

In what way is surface area more important for cells than volume?
Virty [35]

Answer:

As a cell grows in size, the surface area gets bigger, but the volume gets bigger faster. Thinking about this as a ratio (division), the volume is the denominator and the surface area is the numerator. If the volume is getting very big, then the ratio itself will be getting very small.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The provided question is incomplete as there is no option available however the generalized answer would be -

The correct answer would be - For treating the global symptoms related to the allergies, it is known as that the inhaled nasal steroids are far more effective than oral medications.

Explanation:

Nasal steroids are the steroids that relieve congestion problems by decreasing the inflammation in the nose of an individual. These are then inhaled by the nose which directly sprays into nasal passages.

In comparatively the oral steroids take time to show their impact on the individual and even the impact is considered not as effective as the inhaled nasal sprays.

Thus, the correct answer is - For treating the global symptoms related to the allergies, it is known that inhaled nasal steroids are far more effective than oral medications.

I) predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of potato stick
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride solution

Explanation:

The liquid that would cause the largest decrease in the mass of the potato stick would be the one with  <u>1 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solution.</u>

<em>The water potential of a solution depends on the molarity of the solution, the higher the molarity, the lower the water potential and vice versa. Hence, a solution with higher molarity has the tendency to osmotically draw more water from the potato stick than a solution with lower molarity.</em>

Therefore, the potato stick will have the largest decrease in mass in 1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride when compared to the 0.5 and 0.1 mole per dm3 solutions.
