Biology

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! :)

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. closing

2. the ventricles and arteries,

3. a constricted trachea

Lub is the first sound of a heartbeat and is mentioned as S1. It is usually produced due to the closing of tricuspid and and mitral or bicuspid valves present between atria and ventricles.

Tricupsid is located between atrium and ventricle of the right hand side and mitral valve is located between atrium and ventricle of the left hand side. They prevent the back flow of blood from ventricles to their respective atria.

Dub, being the second sound is written as S2. It is produced due to the closing of pulmonary (located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery) and aortic valves (located between left artery and aorta).

These valves prevent the back flow of blood from arteries into the ventricles.

The time between the two sounds is often taken as the measure of the diastole i.e. ventricular filling.

Wheezing refers to a high-pitched sound produced when a person breathes, especially during exhale. It is caused by constriction of the airways or inflammation. It is considered as a symptom of various diseases such as asthma, COPD, allergies, bronchitis etc.
