Answer:

C. But be careful. This question is poorly conceived. Anything could be the answer.

Explanation:

A B and D are all specific to the disciple they are involved in.

That only lets you choose C. You could argue that a physicist or an electrical engineer would not be particularly interested in the death of some elm trees, and I think I would agree with you.

But what other choice to you have?

While the professor is tracking the fresh water fish, how is that benefiting mankind? What is he learning that is universally applicable. I wouldn't choose A.

B is an advance in technology. It might make the dairy farmer's life a whole lot easier, but I don't think it would have very effect on anyone else. Not B.

D: Again this benefits surgeons but again it is technology. I don't think it universally benefits all of humanity except those who are going to be operated on.

So I'll stick with C. People die. So do trees and all vegetation. I'd pick C, but I don't think there is a clear cut answer. Sometimes you get questions that you think the answer resides only in the head of the person writing the question. This is one of them.

Answer:

Their answer about the location or function of the cells.

Explanation:

Since there are no options to select as the answer, i will just try my best to list a couple of them.

Langerhans Cells are from the family of cells named "Dendritic Cells" because of their tree like shapes. They can be found on parts of our body that come into contact with foreign environments or particles, such as skin, on the inside of our mouth, nose and stomach etc.

The nursing instructor could evaluate the students' knowledge by asking them where Langerhans Cells are located in our body, on which layer of our skin they can be found or what their primary functions are.

I hope this answer helps.

How is loss of biodiversity connected to extinction of organisms?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

In an ecosystem, everything is connected. All ecosystems have some form of food chain and symbiosis. This means that animals rely on each other for life. If one animal were to die then others would be negatively affected. Overall, this means that when biodiversity is lost it becomes harder for organisms to survive. For example, pandas rely on bamboo to survive. So, when it gets cut down and destroyed the pandas also suffer. Additionally, in ecosystems, a wide variety of organisms helps other living creates have more forms of survival. This shows how important biodiversity is.
