Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The process of decomposition can be defined as the process in which the body of the organism is broken down  from complex substances to the simpler substances.

The process is a part of the nutrient cycle is essential because the nutrients needs to be recycled in order to be available for the plants and other species.

The body starts decomposing after the death of the organism. It is a chemical change in which the complex form of the body is converted into simpler form.

Why did the movement of plants to land lead to adaptive radiation?
spin [16.1K]

Answer: Adaptive radiation refers to the ability of living organisms to evolve rapidly from an ancestral forms into variety of other forms especially when the organisms move into a new environment that has abundant resources. The resources, which are present abundantly in the environment allow the living organisms to spread out in the environment and to find different habitats in the environments that favour their survival.In the question given above, adaptive radiation allows plants to fill different habitats (niches) that are found on land and to spread out rapidly.

Which of the following statements is true of selective toxicity?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

c. selective toxicity takes advantage of structural and/or metabolic differences between host and pathogen

Explanation:

Selective toxicity is the mechanism by which antibiotics work. They cause damage to the pathogen but do not harm the host. Hence, they are selectively toxic in their mechanism. They can target both the structural or the metabolic differences between host and pathogen. Many antibiotics target unique sites in the pathogen's structure or the sites which might be present in host cells too but are not essential for the survival of the host. An example of structural difference being targeted by antibiotics is the enzymes which synthesis the bacterial cell wall so that the cell wall is disrupted. A metabolic difference being targeted would be the mechanism by which bacteria replicates so that host cell replication process is not hindered.

What maternal physiological changes can be observed initially during the postpartum period?
Mila [183]
Physiological changes during pregnancy aid the adaptation of the cardiovascular system to the grown metabolic needs of the mother which enables adequate delivery of oxygenated blood to peripheral tissues and the fetus. In the postpartum period, the Hemodynamic parameters slowly return to its baseline values, but the full resolution may take in six months after giving birth. The blood volume also decreases by 10% within 3 days after giving birth. The hemoglobin level and the hematocrit will stabilize after 2 weeks. The systolic and diastolic pressure will stay the same from late pregnancy until 12 weeks postpartum. Within 2 weeks of postpartum, the systemic vascular resistance will increase by 30%
