Answer:  the correct answer is A. ACTH

Explanation:

ACTH  stands for Adrenocorticotropic hormone  Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, also adrenocorticotropin, corticotropin) is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is often produced in response to biological stress (along with its precursor corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus). Its principal effects are increased production and release of cortisol by the cortex of the adrenal gland. ACTH is also related to the circadian rhythm in many organisms.

Suppose a disease spread through all the red oak trees in a forest economic.
kupik [55]
A: if the oak trees are I'll then it would affect their health which they'll star dying which means that all the biotic organisms that depended on those oak trees for shelter would also start dying which means all the organisms that depended on the oak tree organisms would also die and so on. That way this small change will affect the whole animal community in that area.
B: this change in biodiversity will greatly affect the sustainability of the forest because the animals dying would disrupt the food chain in that ecosystem while killing the whole forest.

someone please help me with Part A and B on biology please i really need help will give brainliest ​read hard and rotate phone i
finlep [7]

<em>Hi there, I come in behalf of jcherry99,</em>

So, first question -

This shouldn't be that much of an issue, since we have the text to help us out, but I'll try breaking it up into more simpler words:

The placenta is incide the uterus, where the baby starts forming. As you might already know, babies do not eat while they're inside woman's bellies:

So how do they feed?

They feed throught the umbilical cord.

So why is the placenta there? Why would the baby want anything apart from food?

The placenta, instead of trading food with the baby, regulates temperature, supplies it with nutrients, exchanges gas with the mother (which the mother later exchanges with the environment) and gets rid of waste.

And, food is not everything for a baby that is in the urge of developing complex muscles, bones, etc.

Second "question" -

I do not actually know what I'm supposed to do, since there is no question. But I can tell you this - the information contained in part B is correct:

The amnioic sac provides babies with a liquid which allows him to move freely in the uterus, which is very helpful. But, note that he doesn't start moving randomly, he is always in a fetus or similar-to-fetus position.

Hope it helped,

Which best explains how the collisions of materials in space contribute to the formation of layers in protoplanets?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:The best explanation is;

The materials undergo decay when they collide, which results in the heating and subsequent melting and rising of materials

Explanation: A protoplanet is an embryo formed in a protoplanetary disc which has passed through a melting phase that enables the formation layered interior

In protoplanets the effects of partial melting of the components due to heating produced by radioactive decay and  pressures from forces of gravity there is segregation of the melt and igneous composition such that the heavier melted metal can sink and be over laid by the lighter igneous rocks

Therefore, the best explanation is that the materials undergo decay when they collide, which results in the heating and subsequent melting and segregation by the sinking of the heavier melted materials and rising of the lighter igneous materials.
