The key difference between energy flow and matter cycling is that energy flow shows the energy transmission from one trophic level to next trophic level in food chains while matter cycling shows the flow or cycling of elements through the living and nonliving parts of ecosystems
Preganglionic axons synapse at the sympathetic chain ganglia with a postganglionic neuron. The postganglionic neuron then leaves the sympathetic chain ganglia through a gray ramus communicans (unmyelinated axons) and reenters the spinal nerve and travels to the skin and blood vessels throughout the body.
Answer:
Biodiversity
Explanation:
Biodiversity is the variety of life in a habitat or ecosystem
The graph shows, in a period of time between 1978 and 2010. Therefore, it's related to the last 50 years, not the last 100 years, meaning that alternative D is wrong. The amount of sea ice shown in the graph is shown in the scale of million square miles. So, as the graph shows an initial value around 3.2 (3 millions and 2 hundred miles) and it ends up in a value around 2.2 (2 millions and 2 hundred miles), still the real values are around 2.8 (2 million and 8 hundred thousands initially) and 2.0 (2 millions at the end), having a lower value of 1.8 (1 million and 8 hundred thousand); So, in both scenarios, arctic sea ice has shrunk by 1,000,000 (1.0) square miles, being under 2,000,000, not over. Therefore, the highest number to be inside this amount is 2,000, so the correct answer is A: Arctic sea ice has shrunk by over 2,000 square miles in the last 50 years.
You should plot the point slightly above those of the chimpanzee and dog, where the blue star is in the graph to the right. They should conclude that a cheetah is an endotherm because its placement on the graph is in trend with the endotherms, not the ectotherms
