The answer is A:
The SUGAR-PHOSPHATE CHAINS form the sides, and the BASE PAIRS form the rungs
Answer: Protozoa contaminate the water supply.
Some protozoa are parasites and cause diseases like malaria.
Protozoa have an important role in the food chain.
Protozoa are parasitic or free living single celled eukaryotic organisms. They are mostly found in water bodies.
Protozoa contaminate the water supply: Some of the protozoan species which are released from the human feces usually contaminate thee water, and causes waterborne infections in humans. Examples are Cryptosporium and Giardia. The infection occurs through drinking water or swallowing water from swimming pool.
Some protozoa are parasites and cause diseases like malaria: The Plasmodium is the genus belonging to the protozoan parasites. This malarial parasite is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes to humans. The parasite multiply in the red blood cells causes symptoms like fever, anemia, flue, illness and may also cause coma and death.
Protozoa have an important role in the food chain: The protozoa species plays many roles in the food chain, they act as consumers, predators or prey, herbivores and decomposers. Their main function is to control the population of other species in the same habitat. They engulf small single celled bacteria, hence prevents excessive bacterial colonization act as predator. They also feed upon the algal species therefore, act as herbivores. They act as decomposers, as they feed upon the organic matter present in the bottom of the aquatic water body. They are the source of food for large worm and insect species.
The theory is the Continental drift, the super-continent is called the Pangaea.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Movement will be brought about in touch me not plants by the action of various chemicals present at the base of the leaf stalk.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
<em>The leaves of touch me not plant stay upright due to turgor pressure. </em>It is exerted by the water present within its cells. This pressure applies force against the cell wall enabling the plant to remain stiff.
When there is an external disturbance , parts of the plant releases certain chemicals including potassium ions that causes water to diffuse out of cells. <em>This releases the turgor pressure and causes the leaves to shrink. </em>
Answer:
increase anxiety; decreased vulnerability to overreact to stress
Explanation:
Serotonin (5-HT) is a natural neurotransmitter that carries signals between nerve cells (neurons) throughout the body. This neurotransmitter (serotonin) is responsible for regulating many biological functions (e.g., mood, digestion, sleep, etc). Moreover, it has been shown that there is an association between low cerebrospinal fluid 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid (5-HIAA, the principal serotonin metabolite in the brain) levels and the risk of developing depression or destructive behaviors. In addition, serotonin concentration can also be elevated in situations of anxiety and/or stress. Antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil act as serotonin uptake inhibitors that increase serotonin concentration at the synaptic site. Like other drugs, these antidepressants may lead to increase anxiety and decrease the vulnerability to react to stress by downregulating sensitivity to serotonin released during natural stress situations.
