Describe the structural organization shared by the cilia and flagella?

1 answer:

8 0

Both flagella and cilia have a common structural arrangement of microtubules referred to as "9 + 2 array." A single cilium or flagellum is made up of string of nine microtubule doublets that surround a single microtubule doublet in the center.

Flagella are hair-like structures which are usually long and they extend from the plasma membrane. They are used to propel or move an entire cell, for example sperm cell.

Cilia are short hair-like structures that are used to move entire cells. An example is paramecia. Cilia can also be found lining the outer surface of cells such as those of the respiratory tract where they move trapped particles up toward the nose and mouth.

Which scenario describes a way that an abiotic factor can impact a marine system? Liquid water turning into solid ice encourages

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Rapid increases in water temperature cause extensive fish kills

Explanation:

Biotic factors are all living organisms that contribute to an ecosystem. On the other hand, abiotic factors are non-living factors, such as climatic factors (temperature, rainfall, wind), edaphic factors (soil type, soil texture, soil aeration etc). Changes of abiotic factors can have a huge influence on living organisms of ecosystem. The effects might be benefical or harmful.

Some of the most common abiotic factors that can impact a marine ecosystem are water temperature, currents, light, alkalinity, oxygent concentration etc.

What is the mean of the data set [3,2,2,12,6,5,14,4]? A.2 B.4 C.6 D.7

zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the mean of a data set, add all the values in the set together, and then divide the result by the number of values in the set.

3 + 2 + 2 + 12 + 6 + 5 + 14 + 4 = 48

There are 8 values in the data set.

48/8 = 6

So the mean of the data set is 6.
