What provides information about the body position with respect to gravity?​

Answer:

Centre of Gravity

The centre of gravity (COG) of the human body is a hypothetical point around which the force of gravity appears to act. It is point at which the combined mass of the body appears to be concentrated[1]. Because it is a hypothetical point, the COG need not lie within the physical bounds of an object or person. One subjective way (there are objective measures) to approximate the COG of an object is to visualise it balancing on one finger.

Centre of Gravity in the Human Body

In the anatomical position, the COG lies approximately anterior to the second sacral vertebra. However, since human beings do not remain fixed in the anatomical position, the precise location of the COG changes constantly with every new position of the body and limbs. The bodily proportions of the individual will also affect the location of the COG.

Alexandra [31]

The third and last option is correct.


Species in the past (referring to dinosaurs) were more massive.

\bf~CO_{2} levels where higher in the past, which meant that plants prospered during that time since they had a easy access to food. That contributes to the fact that herbivores could grow bigger because there was more food. Which in turn, increases the size of early carnivores which eat bigger herbivores.




Hope it helped,


Happy homework/ study/ exam!

In a population of 1000 individuals, 500 new individuals were born and 200 individuals died over the course of 1 year. Which equ
blagie [28]

(Initial individuals + newborn individuals) - dead individuals = total individuals

Growth rate = (total individuals/initial individuals) * 100

Population growth rate = new percentage minus 100%

Calculations

(1000 + 500) - 200 = 1500 - 200 = 1300

Growth rate = (1300/ 1000) * 100

= 1.3 * 100

= 130%

Population growth rate = 130% - 100%

= 30% per year if it is uniform
