Answer:
b. The foot and ankle should be pointing straight ahead in a dorsiflexed position when it hits the ground
Explanation:
Dorsiflexion is a movement in the ankle where the toes point in an upward direction allowing for correct foot strike if done properly at approx. 15 degrees. As you run, dorsiflexing your foot puts it in an ideal position to absorb the shock of the landing while simultaneously tensing your muscles to spring forward into the next stride which allows a reduced ground contact time per stride, allowing you to run faster and more efficiently.
If a runner has poor dorsiflexion they may experience a ‘loose’ or ‘floppy’ foot due to relaxation at the ankle joint which results in striking the ground through the toes which causes poor force distribution resulting in injuries such as shin splints and runner’s knee.
Answer:
But a pie chart about an animal is highly unlikely because a pie chart is used for math.
Explanation:
Pie charts are generally used to show percentage or proportional data and usually the percentage represented by each category is provided next to the corresponding slice of pie. Pie charts are good for displaying data for around 6 categories or fewer.(Just so you know what to add)
- <em>See attached image for the diagram of being referred to</em>
Answer/Explanation:
In the diagram showing a typical food chain in an ecosystem, <em>the arrow that connects the sun to plants represents the flow of radiant energy</em>. The sunlight produces radiant energy, of which producers, such as plants, converts into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
The <em>next arrow linking the plants to the rodent shows the flow of chemical energy</em> in plants to primary consumers, such as rodents, who feed on them.
Also, rodents, when preyed upon by secondary consumers, such as wolfs and owls, pass on the same chemical energy to them. So <em>the arrows connecting the rodent to owl, and to the wolf both show the transfer of chemical energy</em> from the rodent to the owl and wolf.
The next arrow shows the <em>transfer of thermal energy from the wolf to the environment</em>, as the wolf release heat from the body resulting from daily functions it performs, and also, <em>thermal energy is released to the surroundings as heat during the decomposition </em>of the body of an animal.
The <em>arrow linking the wolf to the decomposer which break down the body and waste of the wolf represents transfer of chemical energy to the decompose</em>r, as they break chemical bonds to obtain the energy they need to survive and grow.
