<h2>(D) is the correct option </h2>
Explanation:
- Both the stapedius and tensor tympani are striated muscles
- The stapedius is about 6 mm in length, arises from the pyramidal process and the tendon attaches to the posterior neck of the stapes
- The stapedius is a muscle with a high oxidative capacity
- The tensor tympani is about 25 mm in length, the muscle is not as strong as the stapedius, and the tendon also contains more elastic tissue and fat
- The tensor tympani courses through a bony canal in the wall of the anterior middle ear, and attaches to the neck of the manubrium
- The tensor tympani and stapedius muscles are protective reflexes
- They reduce the amount of sound that gets into the inner ear
- They are somewhat similar to the blink reflex thus they can be triggered by loud noise, and when they go off, both ears can be involved
- If stapedius and tensor tympani muscles is not present then loud sounds would cause the ossicles to move too much, potentially causing damage to the inner ear
Answer: D
Explanation:
Many unicellular organisms live in bodies of water and must move around to find food. Most often, they must obtain nutrients by eating other organisms. Plant-like protists, and some types of bacteria, can make their own food through photosynthesis.
Answer:
You take any of the "signs of change in populations of organisms and their environments". For imagine, Australopithecus (early man) turning to Homo sapiens. In that way they could tell that you took this journey.
Answer:
The answer is D. I hope this was helpful!
Explanation:
Answer;
A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.
Explanation;
-Islands tend to host very distinct but limited sets or species; on a given island a spectacular collection of one related group of species would be present and thriving, but many entire families or even higher taxa would be completely absent.
-All the species on the islands and the nearest continent are closely related to one another, however, each species had a set of adaptations that suits it for a particular environment. This means that the island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.
