In the mid 1980s an agressive strain of algae known as Caulerpa was accidentally introduced into the Meditaranean Sea when a sea

side aquarium cleaned out its tanks. The algae conatains a toxin that prevents native herbivores from consuming it. Caulerpa quickly spread over the sea floor, crowding out many species including sponges, corals, sea fans, and lobsters. Which statement explains the most likely impact Caulerpa has had on the biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea? a The presence of Caulerpa within an ecosystem is an indicator of the ecosystems health. b The spread of Caulerpa improved the habitat for many species of sea grasses, and increased the biodiversity. c Caulerpa inter bread with native species within the same adaptations within the ecosystem. d Caulerpa became dominant within the ecosystem and reduced the biodiversity.

The cerebral cortex plays a major role in all of the following except
kondor19780726 [428]

Explanation:

Explanation:

<em>Complete answer: </em>

<em>a. foot tapping rhythm </em>

<em>b. long-term memory </em>

<em>c. breath holding </em>

<em>d. circadian rhythm </em>

The cerebral cortex plays a major role in all of the following except d. circadian rhythm

The cerebrum is split into the left and right hemispheres, while the cerebral cortex makes up the outer layer of the brain and is comprised of gray matter. Gray matter is made up of unmyelinated neurons.

The cerebral cortex is described as having motor, sensory and association areas, and is involved in thought, memory, perception, awareness, and language. Overall, it is associated with voluntary movement, thus the circadian rhythm, involved in homeostasis and the autonomic nervous system, is unrelated to its function.

Why will many species of bird migrate to warmer climate during the winter
Doss [256]
Bird migrations began with the recession of the glaciers during the ice age. You will notice a great increase in insects in the spring time and early summer.The birds moved North to take advantage of this increase in the food supply that followed the warming in the spring and early summer. Their reproductive organs temporarily developed so they could lay eggs and raise a family. Look at the early flush of Night crawlers in the moist times of the early rains. By mid summer most of the insects have matured, mated and died. Their eggs have hatched and turned to larva and moved underground until next spring. The shortening of the days causes the reproductive functions to decrease and signals the birds that the food will soon become scarce. They move back to the area that makes it the easiest to find food and avoid freezing. which of course is the warmer climates nearer the equator. Not all birds move past the Tropics at approximately 30 degrees. Some like Chickadees may move down from Mi or Mn or Canada only as far south as Indiana. Some migrations may be quite short. For example from the mountains down to the plains. They don't generally reproduce in the warmer winter climes they migrate to. In the spring time they migrate along paths of the retreating glaciers. As the climate warms away from the tropics the birds follow the emerging insects etc to the birds selected breeding grounds.with increased insects and longer days to feed the hatching's. It is necesary to understand why they move to cooler climates in the summer to under stand why they move to eh warmer ones in the fall. As the days shorten the food supply dwindles and the babies have fledged. They move to warmer climates in winter to rest and refuel for the next years migration.

What happens to the water in a poolon a hot,sunny day ?​
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

I'm assuming you meant pool instead of poolon, i'll take it as a grammatical error. Anyhow, the water in a pool on sunny days tend to have less chlorination then on regular days. This is because chlorine forms hypochlorite ions in the water, and these are broken down by the ultraviolet light from the sun. Rainy or shiny, the weather is always affecting the chemistry in your pool.

Now, if you want to get more complicated into it, you can add a stabilizer into the pool. The common one safely used in pools is cyanuric acid. This almost completley prevents all de-chloronification.

I hope this information was of any use to you.

A total of _____ amino acids compose the majority of protein in living things and nine are _____ to human
Delicious77 [7]

Most proteins in living organisms are composed of 40 amino acid residues in total, and nine of those are crucial for human health.

Which majority of amino acids make up proteins in living things?

  • Only twenty different amino acids, each with a distinct side chain, make up proteins. Different chemistries can be found in the side chains of amino acids. The majority of amino acids contain side chains that are nonpolar.
  • There are nine essential amino acids:
  1. tryptophan
  2. valine
  3. isoleucine
  4. leucine
  5. lysine
  6. methionine
  7. phenylalanine
  8. threonine
  9. methionine

What Constitutes Proteins?

  • Amino acids are the basic units of proteins. They are tiny chemical compounds with an alpha (central) carbon coupled to an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, hydrogens, and a changeable element known as a side chain.
  • A protein is made up of a lengthy chain of amino acids that are connected by peptide bonds. The biological process that links the carboxyl unit of one amino acid towards the amino group of a nearby amino acid results in the extraction of a water molecule, forming peptide bonds. The main structure of a protein is thought to be its linear amino acid sequence.
