<h2>The correct answer is</h2>

D. It has a strong influence on the ecosystem.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Keystone species are organism that define an entire ecosystem. Without the presence of keystone species, the ecosystem would be totally different and it will cease to exist.  If keystone species disappear from the ecosystem, no other species would be able to fill its ecological presence. Some keystone species are Sea Otter. Sea Stars and Large Mammalian Predators.

The correct answer is D.

A keystone specie refers to a plant or animal which play very important roles in the way a particular ecosystem functions. Without the keystone specie the ecosystem will be totally different or even cease to exist, thus keystone species have strong influence on the ecosystems in which they exist. Most of the time a keystone specie is a dominant predator whose removal allow a prey population to increase dramatically in size and thus reduce the overall diversity in that particular ecosystem.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

D. Several cells are in the process of dividing into two new cells

Explanation:

The universal cell theory which was proposed in 1838 and contributed by three scientists namely: Theodor Schwann, Rudolf Virchow, and Mathias Schleiden, consists of three components namely:

1) Cell is the basic and functional unit of life

2) All living organisms are made up of one or more cells.

3) All existing cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Hence, in this question involving a scientist who is observing living Cells in a Petri Dish under a Compound Light Microscope, the observation that "Several cells are in the process of dividing into two new cells" provides evidence to support one of the three components of the cell theory ( all living cells arise from preexisting cells).

The cochlea contains ___________ which send(s) messages through the auditory nerve to the areas of the brain that are responsibl
Vadim26 [7]
The cochlea contains organ of cortis which send(s) messages through the auditory nerve to the areas of the brain that are responsible for interpreting auditory information. The Organ of cortis contains the hair cells and nerve receptors for hearing. When the hair cells has been stimulated, it will react to specific sound frequencies. However, only certain hair cells will be stimulated based on the pitch of the sound. The signals produced by the hair cells will turn into nerve impulses which will be sent out by the cochlear portion of the auditory nerve into the brain. This auditory nerve will carry the impulses from cochlea into the mid-brain which is the cochlear nucleus. On other brain pathways that end in the auditory cortex of the brain these nerve impulses were carried.

Name the process by which mucin leaves the goblet cells
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The "Apocrine method" is a process in which the mucin leaves the globet cells.

Explanation:

Globet cells are of columnar globet shaped just like those epithelial cell which is responsible for the secretion of gel forming mucin. For secretion the method used is  the merocrine method and for leaving the secretion apocrine method is used. This happens under the stress condition. The apocrine method happens or leaves the secretion through the plasma membrane which produces extracellular membrane bound vesicles. The apical portion of the secretory cells gets pinched and enters into the lumen.
