Answer:

The arrow should be pointing from the producer towards the consumer.

Producer --> Consumer

Explanation:

The arrow represents the flow of energy in a food web. Producers are the first source of energy, as they make their own food. The energy is then transferred to the consumer when they eat the producer. For example, if a cow were to eat grass, the energy would flow from the grass to the cow. The arrow shows how this energy is flowing from the first source to the second.

How does your heart rate affect the rate at which red blood cells travel throughout your body? PLEASE HELP ME QUICK!!

kiruha [24]

Answer:

with each heartbeat,the heart pumps blood throughout our bodies,carrying oxygen to every cell,after delivering oxygen the blood returns to the heart the heart then sends the blood to the lungs to pick up more oxygen.

Which prediction will most likely describe how friction will affect her findings? The distance for Trial 3 will be greater than

Juliette [100K]

The complete question is :

Charlie is investigating friction. She will use the same amount of force to push two wooden balls across two level surfaces. Then she will record her results in the table below.

Which prediction will most likely describe how friction will affect her findings?

Answer:

The distance for Trial 3 will be greater than the distance for Trial 4 because the difference in surface roughness will affect friction.

Explanation:

The frictional force depends greatly on the roughness of the body surfaces. It acts opposite to the direction of motion when two body surfaces have a relative motion between them.

In the context, equal mount of force is applied to push the wooden balls. So the net force which acts on the balls are :

F' = F - f

Here, F = the force applied

f = force of friction

And f = μ.N (N = reaction force)

Here μ is the coefficient of friction that depends on the surface roughness. The frictional force will be less when the surfaces are smooth. Thus for the trails 3 and trial 4, the distance for trail 3 would be greater than trail 4 as the surface is polished and would offer less friction.

Que características poseen los babuinos que no poseen los Lemures

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Opposing thumbs, expressive faces, complex social systems: it's hard to miss the similarities between apes and humans. Now a new study with a troop of zoo baboons and lots of peanuts shows that a less obvious trait -- the ability to understand numbers -- also is shared by humans and their primate cousins.

"The human capacity for complex symbolic math is clearly unique to our species," says co-author Jessica Cantlon, assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester. "But where did this numeric prowess come from? In this study we've shown that non-human primates also possess basic quantitative abilities. In fact, non-human primates can be as accurate at discriminating between different quantities as a human child."

"This tells us that non-human primates have in common with humans a fundamental ability to make approximate quantity judgments," says Cantlon. "Humans build on this talent by learning number words and developing a linguistic system of numbers, but in the absence of language and counting, complex math abilities do still exist."

Cantlon, her research assistant Allison Barnard, postdoctoral fellow Kelly Hughes, and other colleagues at the University of Rochester and the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, N.Y., reported their findings online May 2 in the open-access journal Frontiers in Comparative Psychology. The study tracked eight olive baboons, ages 4 to 14, in 54 separate trials of guess-which-cup-has-the-most-treats. Researchers placed one to eight peanuts into each of two cups, varying the numbers in each container. The baboons received all the peanuts in the cup they chose, whether it was the cup with the most goodies or not. The baboons guessed the larger quantity roughly 75 percent of the time on easy pairs when the relative difference between the quantities was large, for example two versus seven. But when the ratios were more difficult to discriminate, say six versus seven, their accuracy fell to 55 percent.

That pattern, argue the authors, helps to resolve a standing question about how animals understand quantity. Scientists have speculated that animals may use two different systems for evaluating numbers: one based on keeping track of discrete objects -- a skill known to be limited to about three items at a time -- and a second approach based on comparing the approximate differences between counts.
