The major muscles involved while performing a wall sit or squat are the quadriceps muscles.

Explanation:

Exercises like wall sit or squat are an isometric exercises which works the entire group of lower body muscles.

Isometric exercises are endurance building exercises which improves the muscle endurance by holding it in a position for longer time. These exercises does not involve any big bodily movements but works by tensing the muscles.

Both these exercises primarily involve the front thigh muscles or the quadriceps. Squats and wall sits help to tone and shape the quads and other muscles involved. The angle of the body should be maintained at right angle to reduce the pressure on these muscles.

Other muscles which are involved in these exercises are the hamstrings, core, lower back muscles etc.

Answer: Options A, B, D and E.

A. Process for initiating.

B. standard reporting format.

D. process for synthesizing the body of evidence.

E. process for finding and assessing individual studies.

Explanation:

Systematic review is a scientific process which combines findings from research using random sampling of works from different source of a particular subject and integrating them into a powerful and clinically useful report to guide practice. It is a form of paradigm that guides and aids further research in a particular field.

However, there are components to be considered in other to create a perfect resolution. Initiation of the process begins with gathering of research from different source.

Then, individual research work is also accessed to derive facts and putting up a standard report to explain the total discovery.

What are intraspecific and interspecific ecological competitions

Mashcka [7]

First of all - ecological interactions in the ecosystem indicates how species interact with each other and species interactions in the system include:
- competition,
- predation,
- camouflage
- mimicry

<span>In ecological competitions:</span>

What is the source of energy that powers a hydroelectric power plant?

Verdich [7]

Answer: Given your four choices, the best/most correct one would be (c) the sunlight that evaporated water that eventually falls as rain and fills the reservoir. It is the potential energy stored in the reservoir water which is "released" as it is converted to kinetic energy (the movement of water which spins the hydroelectric generator turbine, etc.), but the absolute source of that original potential energy comes from the Sun's action to evaporate lake or ocean water which is returned to Earth as rain ... and it is this rainwater which ultimately fills the reservoir behind the hydroelectric power plant.
