"Skeletal muscle, also called voluntary muscle, in vertebrates, most common of the three types of muscle in the body. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Similar to cardiac muscle, however, skeletal muscle is striated; its long, thin, multinucleated fibres are crossed with a regular pattern of fine red and white lines, giving the muscle a distinctive appearance. Skeletal muscle fibres are bound together by connective tissue and communicate with nerves and blood vessels."

Are you concerned about the threat of zoonotic diseases? Why or why not?
expeople1 [14]

Answer: There should be concern because zoonotic diseases passes from an animal or insect to a human very easily, and although they do not always represent a danger, they can cause serious symptoms and even death.

Explanation:

Zoonotic diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, virus, parasites and fungi, and they can be transmitted between animals and humans. Some examples of zoonotic diseases are Brucellosis, Anthrax and Rocky Mountain Fever (rickettsiosis)

Sometimes, people with zoonotic infections can get very sick and have symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, muscle pain and others. While in other cases, people may have no symptoms and never get sick, without representing a risk . <u>Besides being important because they can make many people sick, we have to take into account that the way of transmission or propagation can be very simple.</u> Food can be a source of zoonotic infections, for example when farm animals re infected with parasites and these animals are consumed as food. Another example is when people get trichinosis by eating undercooked meat, or consuming fruit without washing it properly, or raw meat from animals infected with the Trichinella parasite.  Also, people can get the parasites swimming in a lake if they accidentally swallow water contaminated with the feces of infected animals. Besides, pets can have parasites and pass them on to people, and wild animals can also have infection from parasites that can infect people.

Therefore, we must be concerned about zoonotic diseases, since they can be transmitted very easily from animals to humans, and although they do not always represent a danger, they can cause serious symptoms and even death.

Answer:The correct answer is

Sun → Maple trees → Caterpillars → Finches → Hawks

Sun → Grass → Cows

Sun → Plankton → Shrimps → Salmon fish → Humans.

Explanation:

In the given questions, examples shown create food chains in an ecosystem.

A food chain is a directional flow of energy and matter in the form of food an organism eats which could be terrestrial or aquatic.

A terrestrial food chain starts with autotrophs or producers like maple trees, grass which can produce their own food and present at the lowest trophic levels. These autotrophs are eaten by herbivores such as caterpillars which feed on the leaves of maple trees and cows which eats grass and are known as primary producers. Further carnivores like finches feed on these caterpillars which can be further eaten by higher carnivores like hawks.

An aquatic food chain starts with plankton which can be eaten by shrimps on which salmon fish can feed and these fishes are further eaten by top carnivores like humans.

Thus, these selected examples make food chains in an ecosystem.
