This is refered to as the chemical symbol. It is derived from the Latin name for the element which is why some elements like potassium (K) and sodium (N) have symbols different from their name on the periodic table.

Select the appropriate statement about healing wounds. A.]Cell growth increases both toward the beginning and the end of the hea
krek1111 [17]
The correct answer is A. Cell growth increases both toward the beginning and the end of the healing process. At the beginning, when a wound is inflicted, the body creates numerous cells that are designed to fight any pathogens that might want to enter our body, as well as create extra cells to seal up the wound. At the end, scar tissue is formed as the wound closes which is more tissue than there was before the wound.

Explain how the reduction in biodiversity can effect the ecological balance in the dam
hodyreva [135]
<span>Damming a river has a variety of effects on the freshwater ecosystem, more than just altering the flow from A to B.  Dams create calm bodies of water, changing overall temperature regimes and sediment transport, leading to conditions which tend to favour generalist species. Loss of specialist species, particularly endemics, changes the community structure and leads to biotic homogenization.  A dam will withhold sediment in the reservoir, not just decreasing the amount of substrate available to local freshwater species, but even impacting diadromous, estuarine and marine species much further downstream.  The competition between resident species for food and breeding sites will increase as damming isolates populations, and perhaps more importantly, damming completely restricts migratory fish species.  Isolation may lead to decreases in genetic diversity and therefore puts species at greater risk from disease.  All of these effects may be exacerbated by changes in the surrounding land use.  Overall, damming river flow will lead to both a loss of native species, but also an increase in exotic species which are more likely to become established in degraded habitats. For this reason, dams are one of the greatest global threats to freshwater biodiversity.</span>
