Answer:

Special properties of an oxygen-binding protein in the muscles of marine mammals, such as seals, whales and dolphins, are the reason these animals can hold their breath underwater for long periods of time, according to a new study. ... In fact, the amount was so high in the muscle that it almost looked black in color.

Improve the student’s model of gas exchange by drawing the missing component.
larisa [96]

Answer:

The diagram can be improved by:

                                  Lungs

                                       ↓

                                   oxygen

                                       ↓

                      Red blood cells (carrying oxygen)

                                       ↓

                  Organs (like stomach and liver etc) from where carbon    

                               is taken and oxygen is supplied

                                         ↓

                   RBC's carrying Carbon dioxide to the lungs

The component which is missing in the diagram are the organs where exchange of gases occurs. The red blood cells carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to all parts of the body and carries the wast carbon dioxide gas from them back to the lungs. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled by the lungs.

What term describes the rising and sinking of the lithosphere as material is added or removed?
Margaret [11]
<span>Composition. (We use the crust-mantle-core terminology to describe differences in chemical composition in Earth's interior. We use the lithosphere- asthenosphere terminology to describe differences the physical state and behavior. Note that the boundaries between layers with different compositions do not occur at the same depths as the boundaries between layers with different physical properties. For example, there is a change in composition when passing from crust into mantle. But there is no change in physical state or behavior at this boundary- the uppermost part of the mantle behaves in the same way that the crust does because it is still far enough below its melting temperature to be a rigid, brittle solid. The transition to a softer, more pliable solid occurs further down within the mantle and this change in behavior occurs with no change in composition.)</span>

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The incorrect conclusion is D that is finding burial sites of <em>Homo habilis </em>on different countries.

Explanation:

<em>Homo habilis</em> are called as stone age human that are appeared  between 2.1 and 1.5 million years ago and they use tools that are made up of stone which they use to kill the animals. They are called as scavengers and they didn't have any knowledge about bury the dead bodies.

<em>Homo neanderthalensis</em> are the extinct species of human that appears at about 40,000 years ago who bury the dead body but they became extinct due to competition and they did't able to adopt the modern techniques.This was the prime factor that they became extinct.

Which of the following does not describe why it’s important for scientist to use scientific method
nekit [7.7K]

It provides an objective, standardized approach to conducting experiments and, in doing so, improves their results. By using a standardized approach in their investigations, scientists can feel confident that they will stick to the facts and limit the influence of personal, preconceived notions.
