Answer:

r-selected species (e.g., American bullfrog)

Explanation:

The r-selected species (r-strategists) are those species in which their populations oscillate near the carrying capacity, i.e., the maximum population size sustained by a particular environment. These species are generally located in low-quality (less competitive) ecological niches and produce many offsprings that grow rapidly and have low chances of surviving to adulthood. Some examples of r-strategists include amphibians, fish, small mammals, etc. Conversely, K-selected species have more stable populations and produce a low amount of offspring (e.g., large mammals such as elephants).

Kryger [21]
The correct answer is A, parathyroid gland.

The parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid gland which <span>inhibits osteoblasts, stimulates osteoclasts,</span> reduces the calcium output by the kidneys and promotes absorption of the calcium by the small intestines. Calcitonin, secreted by the thyroid gland, also works to a similar effect.

Which of the three types of viruses shown above would you expect to include glycoproteins?
Mademuasel [1]
The correct answer is D: I and II only.
Viruses have protein capsids, which protect their genetic material. This capsid sometimes is covered by viral envelopes which have glycoproteins on their surface. Glycoproteins help in the process of binding to the host cell and infecting it. In this example, virus III has the structure of a bacteriophage and it does not seem to have glycoproteins. Bacteriophages use their tail fibers to attach to the bacterial host and inject their genetic material. On the contrary, viruses I and II have glycoproteins sticking out of their envelopes.
