Answer:
Structures that are still present but currently serve little to no purpose
Explanation:
<em>Vestigial structures/organs are general defined as structures/organs that are present but poorly developed without any functional use in the present living organisms but thought to have been fully developed and functional in their ancestors.</em>
Fully developed and functional organs gradually become less developed and non-functional across generations as the environment keeps changing and organisms found lesser use for the organs. An example includes the <u>caudal vertebrae</u> found in man which is kind of useless but thought to have been fully developed and functional in the ancestors of man - the monkeys.
<u>Vestigial organs are often used as one of the morphological evidence of the evolution of living organisms.</u>
I think that’s substitution
The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.
The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.
Answer:
Generation of an action potential in the neuron.
Stimulation of Ca2+ entry into the neuron
Release of acetylcholine into the synapse
Depolarization of the muscle fiber membrane
Explanation:
The following events takes place in the vertebrate neuromuscular junction
a) Nerve Action Potential - Action potential reaches the axon terminal
b) Entry of calcium ion - The calcium ion reaches the axon terminal and enter into the presynaptic terminus after which the Synaptic vesicles fuse with the membrane of axon terminal
c) Releasing of Arch Quanta - Acetylcholine is released into synaptic cleft which then binds to the receptor sites on motor end plate
d) The Na+/K+ channels opens and Motor end plate becomes depolarized.
Answer
Species with lower resilience have less chance to survive.
Explanation
The resilience rate means to recover after destruction. The species having a higher rate of resilience recover fast when undergoing any damage hence have higher chance to survive. The species with lower resilience rate can collapse as a result of any damage to species by any internal factor such as disease or external factors such as food or climate change.
