Answer:

a. 1/2 b. The organism is an animal

Explanation:

a. What is the medullary index for an organism that has a medulla width of 2cm and hair shaft width 4cm?

Medullary index = diameter of medulla/diameter of hair.

Given that diameter of medulla = medulla width = 2cm and diameter of hair = hair shaft width = 4cm,

Medullary index = diameter of medulla/diameter of hair = 2 cm/4cm = 1/2

b. Is this organism human or animal?

Since the medullary index = 1/2 > 1/3 (if it is ≤ 1/3 it is human hair and ≥ 1/2 it is animal hair), it is animal hair. So, the organism is an animal.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Without fires, there would be no life on Earth . Fires are key to maintaining the proper oxygen concentration in the atmosphere; fire regulates the carbon cycle and life, as we know it, is based precisely on carbon

Explanation:

Although we tend to think of fires as a human invention that kills plants, animals, people, fire, as with rain or wind, is an essential natural component, basic to maintain the planet's biodiversity.

As for example, grassland ecosystems are also benefited by the same fires that allow renewal, and generate natural sustainability on the earth through the carbon cycle.
