on
Organism

Spirodela polyrhiza
Naegleria foweri
Hydra oligactis
Method of Reproduction
sperm and egg fusion
budding
binary fission
budding
Over time, the pond slowly becomes more acidic due to the release of chemicals from a nearby factory. Which of the organisms would most likely
survive the change to their environment?
A.
Pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction
B.
Hydra oligactis, because these organisms would have a low level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction
c. Naegleria fowleri, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to asexual reproduction
D.
Spirodela polyrhiza, because these organisms would have a low level of genetic variation due to asexual reproduction

Answer:

Option A, Pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction

Explanation:

Genetics variation allows as organism to evolve in a way to be able to cope up with the existing or changing environmental condition. Now, a Pantala flavescens undergoes sexual reproduction, thus only this creature has the ability among all the given organism to evolve genetically and be able to survive in this environment.  All the remaining organisms reproduce asexually and hence there is no variation with in them and hence it would be difficult for these organisms to cope up with changing environment.

Hence, option A is correct.

Which substance has a high albedo?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Which substance has a high albedo? B) White Sand

Explanation:

The albedo is the amount of energy that is reflected by a surface. It is determined by the refletivity of that surface. Albedo can range from 0 (no reflection) to a value of 1 (100% reflection). Generally, dark surfaces have a low albedo and light surfaces have a high albedo. Liquid water is considered to have a low albedo, like dark rock and rich soil.

Kryger [21]

It is the discomfort, inferiority, embarrassment, rejection, and disapproval we experience in our own skin when witnessing an act that we find repugnant, reprehensible, or pathetic on the part of another person.

<h3>Why is it that everything makes me cringe?</h3>

Cringe, according to developmental psychologist Phillipe Rochat, is an innate empathetic reaction of either scorn or compassion. One cannot cringe without having experienced the discomfort of an embarrassing situation, which is a requirement for an empathy reaction.

<h3>The cringe: How do you handle it?</h3>

You could do the following if you're cringing and criticizing yourself: resisting the want to recall the embarrassing situation. to divert your attention from the memories, engage in something else. telling yourself that what happened wasn't so bad or that nobody cares, so there's no reason for you to feel bad.

Explanation:

Since scientific terms are harder to understand, some common prefixes (word added to beginning of another) , suffixes (word added at the end) and root words can be used to correctly guess the meaning of a biological term. Most of the terms have been derived from ancient Greek and Roman words.

  1. The prefix omni- means all. E.g, an omnivore is a type of animal that eats both plants and animals.
  2. Prim- is a prefix that means first or foremost. In some cases, it also means basic or fundamental. E.g the primal instincts of any animal are its basic and innate characteristics.
  3. Vor is a suffix that mean eat or devour. E.g, carnivore is an animal that eats meat.
  4. Oligo is a prefix that means few or little. E.g, oligosaccharide is a carbohydrate containing few sugar molecules.
  5. The prefix sub- means both under and below. E.g, subcutaneous means under the layer of the skin.
  6. The prefix sub- means both under and below. E.g, subcutaneous means under the layer of the skin.
  7. The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
  8. The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
  9. The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
  10. The prefix hydro means water. E.g, hydroelectric power is energy derived from water.
  11. Carn is a prefix that means flesh or meat. E.g, a carnivore is an animal that eats meat.
  12. The prefix zoo or zoa defines an animal or of animal origin. E.g, zoology i.e. the study of animals.
  13. The suffix, -cide means to kill or destroy. E.g, fungicide is a chemical that kills fungi.
  14. Auto is a prefix that means self. E.g, autophagy is the pahgocytosis or engulfing of the body cells by other cells of the body.
  15. Inter is a prefix that means between. E.g, intercellular means between the cells.
  16. The prefix heter or hetero means different or other. E.g, heterogeneous is a type of mixture that contains different types of elements.
  17. Troph is a suffix that means feed or nutrition or nourishment. E.g, autotroph is an organism that produces its food by itself.
  18. Calor means heat. E.g, calorimeter is an instrument that measures heat or change in heat.
  19. Ultra is a prefix that mean beyond. E.g, ultrasonics are sound waves that are beyond the audible hearing range.
  20. Intra is a prefix that means within. E.g, intracellular means within or in the cell.
  21. Photo is a prefix that means light. E.g, photosynthesis is a process that plants use to make food by capturing light.
  22. Para is a prefix that means beside, near, equal or alongside. E.g parathyroid is a gland near the thyroid gland.
