When you first hear a sound, it travels to the auricle (which is also known as the pinnae). That is the part of the ear you can see you the human eye. It then moves through the ear canal, until it reached the tympanic membrane (also known as the eardrum). When it reaches the ear drum the noise starts to vibrate. Than alerting the three tiny bones within your inner ear called the ossicles. These bones have names of course. they are called the malleus (which is known as the hammer), incus (which is known as the anvil) and stirrup (which is known as the stapes). When the ossicles moves the fluid in the cochlea, the tiny hair that is in our ears (I know gross right) then lets the brain know. The process seems long, but happens so quickly within our body.

Mercury is a toxin that is of significant concern due to biomagnification. Explain how mercury found in an aquatic environment c
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: Mercury has been well known as an environmental pollutant for several decades. As early as the 1950's it was established that emissions of mercury to the environment could have serious effects on human health. These early studies demonstrated that fish and other wildlife from various ecosystems commonly attain mercury levels of toxicological concern when directly affected by mercury-containing emissions from human-related activities. Human health concerns arise when fish and wildlife from these ecosystems are consumed by humans.

During the past decade, a new trend has emerged with regard to mercury pollution. Investigations initiated in the late 1980's in the northern-tier states of the U.S., Canada, and Nordic countries found that fish, mainly from nutrient-poor lakes and often in very remote areas, commonly have high levels of mercury. More recent fish sampling surveys in other regions of the U.S. have shown widespread mercury contamination in streams, wet-lands, reservoirs, and lakes. To date, 33 states have issued fish consumption advisories because of mercury contamination.

These continental to global scale occurrences of mercury contamination cannot be linked to individual emissions of mercury, but instead are due to widespread air pollution. When scientists measure mercury levels in air and surface water, however, the observed levels are extraordinarily low.

Examples of ovoviviparous animal
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

sharks, rays, snakes, fishes, and insects

Explanation:

These ovoviviparous animals produce eggs, but instead of laying eggs, eggs develop inside the mother's body. The eggs are laid in the mother. After rocking, they stay in the mother for a while and feed there. Then the young are born live.

Ovoviparity is, therefore, a mixture of oviparous (animals that lay eggs) and viviparous (animals that develop in the mother’s body).
