The correct answer is A.
Water runoffs usually carry nutrients especially fertilizers from off the landscape and washed them into the wetlands and other water bodies. Phosphorus is a common ingredient that is present in all fertilizers. Phosphorus acts as a pollutant in these water bodies and put the organisms living in the water bodies at risk. High concentration of phosphorus causes rapid growth of plants in the wetlands and lead to depletion of oxygen leading to the death of organisms living in the wetlands.
Due to this occurrence, the Florida government has taken steps and enact several laws to ensure that the phosphorus pollution is arrested in order to preserve the wetlands.
Invasive species can either replace an organism from the ecosystem food web or replace it.
Explanation:
- Invasive species are non-native species which can be animals, plants, micro-organisms, fish, etc. they are very much threatening to the native species and ecosystem food web.
- Invasive species are spread by humans mostly, it happens unintentionally when people travel and all. Even climate change could be a reason for its spread.
- So, it becomes threatening to native species because when you introduce it into a new ecosystem, it does not have a predator or control. It grows aggressively and takes over the resources for the native species.
Answer:
The best answer to the question: These cellular structures are utilized in strong involuntary muscle contractions and transmission of electrical impulses, would be: T-Tubules.
Explanation:
In both skeletal and cardiac muscle, not smooth muscle, because of the way that the muscle fibers are conformed into tight bundles of sarcomeres (skeletal muscle) and myocardiocytes (cardiac muscle), there is a need for a series of structures that will ensure that when there is a stimulus from the nervous systems, these stimulus will propagate to all the cells in the fibers, and not just one.
Aside from counting with a neuromuscular motor plate, which will receive the neurotransmitter from the nerve endings and produce the appropriate reactions, as well as propagate that reaction to all the cells that are being stimulated, muscle fibers also have a structure known as T-Tubules. T-Tubules are formations much like roadways of cell plasma membrane that connect not just one, but all the cells within a muscle fiber so that once a stimulus comes, all the cells will initiate the process of calcium release and action potential propagation. These T-Tubules will ensure that electrical impulses reach all muscle cells and that all cells react at the same time as needed.
The general shape of the epithelial cells that are nearest
to the lumen in an empty urinary bladder is in multiple cell layers which are
considered to be a stratified tissue and the cells in it are shaped in terms of
the organ’s distention. This type of epithelial cell is the transitional
epithelium.
