A man bleeding from a cut
Answer :C) to prevent loss of ions to the surrounding water
Explanation :Basically,by closing the lamellae it prevents the entry of water by OSMOSIS , into high solute(ions) potential plasma .if the lamellae were not shut, osmosis drives water in, the fish produced hypotonic urine with resultant loss of ions,
Therefore with the closure of the lamellae, it countered continuous plasma ion loss, and ensure re-establishment of the water-ion balance in cells of muscle tissues and blood. Therefore, the net loss of plasma ions was cut down, and stability of the ion concentration ensured,as a result of a drop in the passive ion efflux to the surrounding aquatic medium.

The crucian carp (Carassius carassius) is a Northern European freshwater fish often inhabiting ponds that become hypoxic (have reduced oxygen levels) and even anoxic (have no oxygen) when the surface freezes during the winter. Surprisingly, when oxygen levels are normal, these fish lack the lamellae that provide a large surface area for gas exchange between water and blood: their gills are smooth. Yet when the level of oxygen in the water falls, the gill morphology undergoes a change: packing cells stop dividing and programmed cell death is induced, exposing gill lamellae that were buried in other tissue. With lamellae exposed, the gills have increased surface area for gas exchange. These changes in gill lamellar profile are reversible: investigators observed that the gills return to their normal structure within seven days after returning the fish to well-oxygenated water.

Answer:
cancellation
Explanation:
A factor in the numerator is <em>cancelled by dividing it</em> by the same factor in the denominator. The quotient is 1, the multiplicative identity element.
Answer: A . Large moving pieces of Earths lithosphere
Explanation:
Answer;
-Aggressive behavior
Dr. Han is studying what brain structure is associated with aggressive behavior among rats and is most likely to see the amygdala activated when using neuroimaging techniques.
Explanation;
-Aggression is a fascinating and distressing topic for the pet rat owner. We are normally intrigued or amused by aggressive behaviors like chasing and sidling, but we hate it when our pets hurt each other.
-Aggressive behaviors are strung together into sequences that vary in their intensity and duration. The lowest intensity encounters are chases.
