The correct answer should be loss.
When your skin is cut open, obviously a little blood will run out as a result of that. This case is no different - the person who fell and has an abrasion on the knee will experience a slight loss of blood through that tiny wound which is the result of them falling on the ground.
Answer
The ability of some fish, like clownfish, to detect predators is decreased in more acidic waters. A sudden drop in pH can as cause medical issues, such as comas and seizures in oceanic life. Fish's skeletons are also sensitive to acidity, so their development may be impacted as well.
Answer:
Explanation:
Proteins in the plasma membrane have several functions based on their components, location etc. For instance, if the protein transcends the entire plasma membrane it could be a transport protein, responsible for the import and export of certain molecules between the cell and the extracellular matrix (ECM). If the proteins are resting at the surface of the cell, facing the ECM, their role could be to detect components in the ECM, relaying a series of messages back to the nucleus so that the cell can ‘decide’ what it should do with this information (is it being told it should undergo apoptosis, should it begin to divide, should it migrate?). As well as this, it could be involved in the detection of foreign bodies such as pathogens. This is an extremely job for these proteins because if the cell does come in contact with a pathogen, the cell can use these proteins to engulf the pathogen and through a series of steps, present the antigen on their major histocompatibility complexes (either 1 or 2 depending on the cell type) or HLA’s for human cells. Thus it can be concluded that protein functions vary widely in the plasma membrane and due to the vast number of proteins that can be found there, it’s difficult to narrow down the exact main of functions of all these proteins put together.
The amount of energy that is transferred at each level of the food chain is about 10%. This is called the 10% rule (10 per cent rule).
Despite the humpback whale and whale shark being similar in size, they are not as closely related as the humpback whale is to the spider monkey, which is far smaller in size. This provides evidence that size of a specie is not a good indicator of its relationship to other species.
