Answer:

Massena, New York

Explanation:

Polaris is most popularly known as the North star. It is also famous by the name of "Pole Star". It is the closet to the north celestial pole. At present it is the northern pole star currently.

It is found in the constellation of Ursa Minor. It is the one of the brightest star seen in the night sky. It is considered the star of the second magnitude which is situated close to the heaven's north pole.

The altitude of the Pole star or the Polaris when an observer is at the Tropic of Cancer is measured at 23.5 degree. While if the observer sees the Pole star at its zenith, the observer is located at the North Pole. i.e. 90 degree.

And the spot from where the observer views the Polaris at 45 degree altitude is Massena, New York.

Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?

koban [17]

I believe the correct response would be C. Plants acquire carbohydrates by producing them through the process of photosynthesis. This allows plants to then use the formed carbohydrates to build structural polymers, such as cellulose.

Which body part from other systems does not interact directly with breathing?

Stels [109]

Answer:

The process of physiological respiration includes two major parts: external respiration and internal respiration. External respiration, also known as breathing, involves both bringing air into the lungs (inhalation) and releasing air to the atmosphere (exhalation). During internal respiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the cells and blood vessels.

Respiration begins at the nose or mouth, where oxygenated air is brought in before moving down the pharynx, larynx, and the trachea. The trachea branches into two bronchi, each leading into a lung. Each bronchus divides into smaller bronchi, and again into even smaller tubes called bronchioles. At the end of the bronchioles are air sacs called alveoli, and this is where gas exchange occurs.

An important structure of respiration is the diaphragm. When the diaphragm contracts, it flattens and the lungs expand, drawing air into the lungs. When it relaxes, air flows out, allowing the lungs to deflate.

Common mistakes and misconceptions

Physiological respiration and cellular respiration are not the same. People sometimes use the word "respiration" to refer to the process of cellular respiration, which is a cellular process in which carbohydrates are converted into energy. The two are related processes, but they are not the same.

We do not breathe in only oxygen or breathe out only carbon dioxide. Often the terms "oxygen" and "air" are used interchangeably. It is true that the air we breathe in has more oxygen than the air we breathe out, and the air we breathe out has more carbon dioxide than the air that we breathe in. However, oxygen is just one of the gases found in the air we breathe. (In fact, the air has more nitrogen than oxygen!)

The respiratory system does not work alone in transporting oxygen through the body. The respiratory system works directly with the circulatory system to provide oxygen to the body. Oxygen taken in from the respiratory system moves into blood vessels that then circulate oxygen-rich blood to tissues and cells.

The actual niche the organism is able to occupy in the presence of competitors is called its:_____________.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

B) realized niche

Explanation:

The ecological niche refers to all the environmental factors that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of species. These factors also include the interaction between species. The term ecological niche refers to the fundamental niche or the realized niche.

The fundamental niche refers only to factors or physical conditions under which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.

The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of environmental conditions and the interaction with other species.

When an inferior competitor is excluded by the superior competitor, this is known as competitive exclusion. This occurs when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective or realized niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.

In the exposed example the organism is able to occupy a niche in the presence of competitors, which is the clue for us to classify this niche as a realized niche. The organism needs to interact in a certain way with its competitors. There is an interaction between taxonomic groups, or between individuals.

When alzheimer disease sets in early and impacts those under age 60, the final phase of the disease typically occurs around?

Aneli [31]

When alzheimer disease sets in early and impacts those under age 60, the final phase of the disease or death typically occurs around 3 to 5 years after the first signs of the disease appear. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, which is represents the memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with normal life. Alzheimer accounts for about 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases.
