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.

Based on your observations, which way does earth rotate—from east to west, or west to east? Explain your answer.
JulijaS [17]

Based on my observations, the earth rotates from west to east about the axis of rotation. The counter-clockwise rotation of the earth is as viewed from the North Pole star Polaris.

My observations supporting the counter-clockwise rotation of the earth are:

  • The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
  • All celestial objects including the stars and the moon rise in the east and set in the west.

The rotation is the result of the strong geomagnetic field of the earth. It is also responsible for the formation of day and night on the planet.

Starch is, along with cellulose, the most common polysaccharide in the plant world. It constitutes the essential energy reserves of plants and is a component of the diet of humans. It is part of the group of slow sugars. Its consumption is particularly recommended to those who practice a sport.

Glycogen, which is a polysaccharide, is the form in which carbohydrates are stored in the body (animals and fungi). Glycogen is broken down into glucose molecules when the body needs energy.
