A amoeba moves by changing the shape of their bodie, forming pseudopods. ( temporary foot like structures).
Hope this helps.
1. Suzie's hypothesis (i.e. prediction of results) is that ferns which are placed in white light will grow to a taller height after two weeks than ferns which are placed in other coloured light or in a closet.
2. Her independent variable (the thing she changes to produce a result) is the kind of light that she places each plant in.
3. The dependent variable (the thing she measures) is the height of the plants after two weeks.
4. I would say her control group would be the plant placed in the closet, because every other group is exposed to some form of light.
5. I would say that Suzie has 4 experimental groups: white, red, blue, and green light.
6. The constant variables were the amount of water each plant was given, the initial height of the plants, the age of the plants, the species of fern, and what she planted the ferns in.
7. To determine how each fern did, Suzie could measure the height in addition to noting the appearance of all the plants. E.g. did any look paler than the others?

A. decomposers transfer nutrients back to the soil
Indicator species may provide useful substitute for large scale surveys to monitor biodiversity. Weconducted surveys in the Afro-alpine habitats of the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) with theobjective of identifying indicators for the species richness of the raptor guild. Raptors were countedby scan sampling technique from a suitable vintage point. Three classes of 18 sample units groupedaccording to the variability of the moorland ecosystem in the magnitude of process variables importantfor raptor species richness were used in determining the indicator value of species as a function of their abundance concentration and the percentage of species occurrence per sample group. Thisprocedure determined indicator values for all species in the resident raptor community. Comparisonwith randomly expected values demonstrated that only<span> Aquila verreauxii</span>and<span> A. chrysaetos</span>haveindicator values that were significantly larger than the randomly expected values. The species richnessestimated using the abundances of these two species predicted the observed species richness of thewhole community in a linear regression model that explained 66% of the deviance in the data set.Furthermore, the species richness of the community predicted by process variables had correlation of very high significance with that predicted by the indicator species. We have thus identified twoindicator species to a raptor guild of the BMNP and demonstrated that these two species encapsulatedmost of the information regarding the species richness response of the guild to key process variablesin the Afro-alpine moorland ecosystem. Our findings contribute significantly to current and futureefforts of monitoring the biodiversity of the park providing a cheap and quick means of data generation<span>relevant for making management decisions. Hope this helped! :)</span>
Clinical death is the medical term for cessation of blood circulation and breathing, the two necessary criteria to sustain human and many other organisms' lives.
It occurs when the heart stops beating in a regular rhythm, a condition called cardiac arrest.
Brain injuries start to accumulate almost immediately after Clinical Death.
Full recovery of the brain after more than 3 minutes of clinical death at normal body temperature is rare.
Usually brain damage or later brain death results after longer intervals of clinical death even if the heart is restarted and blood circulation is successfully restored.
Although loss of function is almost immediate, there is no specific duration of clinical death at which the non-functioning brain clearly dies.
The most vulnerable cells in the brain, CA1 neurons of the hippocampus, are fatally injured by as little as 10 minutes without oxygen.
However, the injured cells do not actually die until hours after resuscitation.
Brain failure after clinical death is now known to be due to a complex series of processes called Reperfusion Iinjury that occur after blood circulation has been restored, especially processes that interfere with blood circulation during the recovery period.
Hope this helps!!!
