Answer:
B) Available energy decreases as trophic levels increase.
Explanation:
Each time an organism consumes energy, it absorbs it. When it dies the energy is released and only some of it is consumed the organism that eats the first organism. This continues and by the end there is very little energy left because most of it was released into the world.
Answer:
Having considered how an appropriate primary immune response is mounted to pathogens in both the peripheral lymphoid system and the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues, we now turn to immunological memory, which is a feature of both compartments. Perhaps the most important consequence of an adaptive immune response is the establishment of a state of immunological memory. Immunological memory is the ability of the immune system to respond more rapidly and effectively to pathogens that have been encountered previously, and reflects the preexistence of a clonally expanded population of antigen-specific lymphocytes. Memory responses, which are called secondary, tertiary, and so on, depending on the number of exposures to antigen, also differ qualitatively from primary responses. This is particularly clear in the case of the antibody response, where the characteristics of antibodies produced in secondary and subsequent responses are distinct from those produced in the primary response to the same antigen. Memory T-cell responses have been harder to study, but can also be distinguished from the responses of naive or effector T cells. The principal focus of this section will be the altered character of memory responses, although we will also discuss emerging explanations of how immunological memory persists after exposure to antigen. A long-standing debate about whether specific memory is maintained by distinct populations of long-lived memory cells that can persist without residual antigen, or by lymphocytes that are under perpetual stimulation by residual antigen, appears to have been settled in favor of the former hypothesis.
B) The cells growth would slow down
The CORRECT answer is:
The theory of plate tectonics explains how continental movements could occur
I know this for a fact because I am an online student, this was a question on my quiz, I used the other member's answer and I got it wrong. However, after submitting my quiz, it gave me the correct answer which is what I said above.
You are welcome.
The sinking of rock layers is subsidence
Explanation:
Subsidence is the motion of a surface as it shifts downwards corresponding to a datum such as a sea level. The reverse of subsidence is uplift, which occurs in an increase in elevation.
