connective tissue = storage and transport
epithelial tissue = absorption, secretion, and sensation
epithelial tissue = protection, growth, and repair
connective tissue = support and binding
Answer:
Without elephants, some of the grasslands in Africa would eventually become thickets or forests because elephants weed out trees and shrubs. Even though elephants make up a small percentage of the animals living on the grassland, the grassland would eventually cease to exist without them. In this community, elephants are <u>keystone species</u>.
Elephants are often called “keystone species” because of their unique role in providing vital services to an ecosystem in relation to their abundance.
Explanation:
Elephants play a very important role in maintaining the biodiversity of the ecosystems in which they live. During the dry season, elephants use their tusks to dig for water. This not only allows the elephants to survive in dry environments and when droughts strike, but also provides water for other animals that share harsh habitats.
Elephants eat some trees and create gaps in the vegetation. These allow new plants to grow and create pathways for other smaller animals to use. They are also agent of seed dispersal of trees and in fact some species of trees rely entirely upon elephants for seed dispersal.
Elephants feed on tree sprouts and shrubs in savannahs. They help keep the plains open and able to support the plains game that inhabit these ecosystems.
Elephants also leave a dung that is full of seeds from the many plants they eat. When this dung is deposited, the seeds are sown and grow into new grasses, bushes and trees, thereby boosting the proliferation organisms in the savannah ecosystem.
Answer:
Pascal's law basically states that any pressure applied to a fluid inside a closed system will transmit that pressure equally in all directions throughout the fluid. This law is the basic principle that causes hydraulic power in heavy construction machines to work.
Explanation:
Pascal's law states that a pressure applied to a fluid in a closed container is transmitted equally to every point of the fluid and the walls of the container, as seen in Equation 2. P = F / A (Equation 2) Where P is the pressure, F is the force, and A is the area.
Answer:
Nutrients and other materials from the environment are absorbed through mycelia. The branching mycelia have a high surface-area-to-volume ratio which allows the absorption of nutrients to be more efficient. Fungi may even digest nutrients by releasing enzymes into the environment.
Explanation:
I have a strange feeling that this isn't the answer you were looking for.
In the 17th century, the scientists would have used the ordinary microscope to distinguish between unicellular and multicellular organisms.
Hope this helps!
