6. Which statement about seagulls and sea stars is true?

Biology
1 answer:
Natali5045456 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B.  Sea stars are the prey of seagulls

Explanation:

Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).

Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism

Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey.  For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)

Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite.  Think of a dog with a tick.  The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.  

Incorrect answers (and why):

A.  Sea stars do not eat seagulls

C.  If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls.  They do not.

D.  A host is an organism that a parasite preys on.  Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.  

I hope this helps! :)

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

I agree.

Explanation:

Cell biology and technology are so connected that there is even a science called biotechnology, which is the literal union of these two strands.

Biotechnology is an area that aims to develop biological products and processes with the help of science and technology. The United Nations (UN) classifies biotechnology as "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derived beings, to manufacture or modify products or processes for specific uses".

Biotechnology covers different areas of knowledge that include basic science (such as molecular biology, microbiology, etc.), applied science (such as immunological, chemical and biological techniques) with different technologies (such as information technology, robotics and process control).

How are the roles of the Moon and Sun causing tides on Earth alike and different?
wolverine [178]

Answer: The Moon's gravity is mostly responsible for our tides, but the Sun also plays a role (Figure 14.13). The Sun is much larger than our Moon. ... This happens because the Moon's high tide occurs in the same place as the Sun's low tide and the Moon's low tide is added to by the Sun's high tide.

The respiratory system supplies oxygen to the blood in the body, while removing carbon dioxide. Which system directly interacts
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The correct option is <u>C. The nervous system when the brain regulates the body's breathing and heart rate.</u>

Explanation:

The main function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in the body.

The brain controls the rate at which the heart pumps blood. The pumping of the heart supplies oxygenated blood to other parts of the body. Hence, the rate at which heart pumps blood is very important to maintain homeostasis of the respiratory system.

The brain regulates the rate at which a person breathes. This rate is very important to breathe in the right amount of oxygen and to breathe out the right amount of carbon dioxide.
