Answer: The correct option is A (detritus).

Explanation:

The sea star also called the star fish belongs to the phylum echinodermata. They are slow moving marine animals living on the sea-shores and sea beds. They possess tube feet under their arms which enables them to move to location where they can obtain food.

During feeding, the star fish is capable of pouring digestive enzymes on the soft tissue of its prey. Once liquefied, it absorbs it into its stomach. The following are the different types of food that a star fish can feed on:

--> coral,

--> sponges,

--> clams,

--> oysters,

--> sand dollars, and mussels

They also feed on dead or decaying debris of different plants and animals. These dead or decaying debris are also called DETRITUS. A detritus is made up of leaves and other plant parts, animal remains and waste organic products that fall into water bodies from the kelp forests along the North American coastline.

Which pair is incorrectly matching polymer-monomer? nucleic acids - nucleotides proteins - amino acids lipids - monosaccharides
Andrew [12]

The pair that incorrectly matches polymer-monomer is lipids-monosaccharides (option C).

<h3>What is a monomer?</h3>

A monomer is a small molecule which can be covalently bonded to other monomers to form a polymer.

A polymer, on the other hand, is a large molecule made up of a chain of many monomeric units, formed by chemically bonding together.

The following are the monomer-polymer combination we have in nature;

  • Carbohydrates - simple sugar/monosaccharide
  • Protein - amino acid
  • Lipids - fatty acid
  • Nucleic acid - nucleotide

Therefore, the pair that incorrectly matches polymer-monomer is lipids-monosaccharides.

Which of the following is a limitation of using a model to study a natural event?
Leto [7]

Answer:

C. The results of a model event may not be similar enough to the results of the actual event.

Explanation:

The problem with models is that sometimes we trust them too much! Sometimes they are not accurate for long-term actual events. This is answer choice C.

  • Models are never more accurate than reality, so rule out A.
  • The model is based on our predictions of the actual event, so rule out B.
  • The model being "too similar" to the actual event is what we want! So rule out D.
