Answer:
Unlike a steady pattern of growth, arthropods exhibit an external growth that proceeds in a sequence of step-like jumps, as the organism builds and replaces its exoskeleton. The arthropod does not grow bigger in size between these jumps. An aquatic arthropod gradually replaces body mass for water detained inside the tissues between molts.
Answer:
The main difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is that photosynthesis is an anabolic process, where the synthesis of organic compounds occurs, storing energy whereas cellular respiration is a catabolic process, where the stored organic compounds are utilized, producing energy.

Answer:
A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds as one carbon atom has four valence electrons (in outermost shell). It is a fact that the number of valence electrons in a atom determines the number of covalent bonds it will form. Thus, each electron in carbon atom is used to form four covalent bonds with various four atoms.
Explanation:
A bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a non-polar covalent bond. The non-polar covalent bond are the bonds between two atoms which share equal number of electron(s) with each other. Example: as in case of methane, where one carbon atom shares its 4 outer valence electrons with four hydrogens by sharing equal number of electron.
In contrast, polar covalant bond are the bonds between two atoms which share unequal number of electron(s) with each other. Thus these bonds are partially ionic.
Answer:
Renewable energy resource as an obstacles for the growth of migratory salmon populations: It is now believed that the reduce access to spawning grounds and nursery areas, leading to a decrease in migratory fish populations is due to the dam structures of large storage-type schemes, which can create great obstacles for the movement of migratory fish species.
Explanation:
- Storage-type schemes ( big dams) can significantly change the downstream flow regime,and may also alter water temperature and quality, and even make it inhabitable for fish to live.
- As the storage of water can be linked with high evaporative losses, which in turn results in high life cycle water footprints compared to other sources of electricity.
<u>Run-of-river (ROR) schemes are HEP schemes: </u>
They operate without water storage, using the flow within a river channel.They are ecologically friendly and do not disturb the natural mechanism for the migrating salmons.
Working Principle:
They are normally used to regulate water levels, which allows a proportion or part of flow to be diverted down a secondary channel to a turbine before it is returned to the main channel further downstream.
There are some modern turbine types used in ROR HEP(hydroelectric power) schemes, which are also designed to allow fish to pass through the system unharmed if the fish do pass through the intake screens.
