Step-by-step explanation:
Larval mosquitoes breath through trachea in their siphons. This is a structure analogous to the snorkel on a diesel electric submarine. It allows for gas exchange with the atmosphere while the remainder of the insect is submerged. The opening of the siphon is hydrophobic so it won’t get wet and blocked by water. This works well to keep the siphon and the trachea open under normal conditions. Oil when poured on water forms a thin film. When there are mosquitos in that water, when their siphons contact the oil layer, the oil wets and blocks their siphons and suffocates the mosquitoes. This works against most, but not all mossies, as evolution is an amazing process. Some mosquitoes (Mansonia, Coquilletidia) have a siphon designed to penetrate the air vessels in aquatic plants and they don’t need to come to the surface to breath like other mossies. So oil won’t work on these genera.
Answer:
I'm taking the test right now so i'll tell you the right answer after I submit my test but for now I think it's C.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of a minor arc is the same as the angle that forms it.
1. Since ∠GBJ = 90°, the answer is 90°.
2. ∠HBI = 180° - 151° = 29° so the answer is 29°.
3. ∠HBJ = 180° so the answer is 180°.
4. The reflex angle ∠GBI = 90 + 151 = 241° so the answer is 241°/
5. Since ∠GBJ = 90°, the reflex angle ∠GBJ = 360 - 90 = 270° so the answer is 270°.
6. ∠GBH = 180 - 90 = 90° so the reflex angle ∠GBH = 360 - 90 = 270° so the answer is 270°.
Answer:
(9/2,0) and (0,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
y(0) = log(1)-1 = -1
y=0 when log(2x+1) = 1
2x+1 = 10
x = 9/2
