Answer:
option B) is correct
Explanation:
The all or none response means that if a muscle contracts, it will contract completely. Thus implying the all or none law which states:
The potential of a response of a muscle fiber or nerve cell is independent of the potential of the stimulus. If a stimulus is more than a certain critical value it will trigger muscle fiber or a nerve. Most importantly resulting in either an all-or-none response thus reducing possibility of any information loss.
Answer:
Elements that are found in the same horizontal row (belong to the same period) in the periodic table, e.g. Fluorine and Neon both have the same energy level of 2.
<em>Note: The question does not specify any two elements.</em>
Explanation:
The modern periodic table is organized into eight vertical columns known as groups and seven horizontal rows known as periods. The atomic number ( number of protons in the nucleus) of elements increases when moving across the periodic table from left to right. The horizontal rows or periods represents an energy levels or the number of electron shells in an element. Energy levels (also called electron shells) are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. Elements belonging to the same period have the same number of energy level or shells. For example, the elements belonging to Period 2 include lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon. These all have the same number of energy level of 2.
Answer:
1. The school board wants to clear the forest surrounding the local high school to build more fields for high school sports. Following environmental factors need to be investigated before clearing the land:
1. Destruction of natural ecosystem: As forest will be cut the land will be barren. There will be loss , extinction and migration of faunal species. So, the normal balance of ecosystem will b disturbed.
2. Chances of climatic fluctuations: As, forest will be cleared, the water, carbon and oxygen cycle in the atmosphere will be disturbed. The region may not acquire adequate rainfall, temperature of the area will change drastically.
3. Soil erosion: As, forest will be cleared the soil will not be hold up and the loose soil gets wiped out from the location by water or air.The cutting of trees can cause flooding from nearby water body.
2. Two ways to reduce air pollution and slow climatic change are:
1. Control use of fossil fuels: Fossil fuels like coal, petrol, kerosene are used in automobiles, industries and house hold activities. These fossil fuels are organic in nature and adds up carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide gases in air and raises the atmospheric temperature and are responsible for air pollution. Therefore, the use of fossil fuel should be in control manner.
2. Planting more number of trees: The trees are responsible for fixing atmospheric carbon from air for photosynthesis. So, they can decrease the amount of atmospheric carbon abundantly present in forms of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, which are chief air pollutants. These carbon products are responsible for raising temperature so planting of trees can prevent raise of temperature.
<u>The four types of interactions in communities are:</u>
- Mutualism
- Parasitism
- Commensalism
- Competition
<u>Definition of each interaction:</u>
<em>Mutualism: </em>
The type of interaction in which both the species involved are benefited, it is called mutualism.
<em>Parasitism:</em>
The type of interaction in which one species is benefited, whereas the other is harmed, it is called parasitism.
<em>Commensalism:</em>
The type of interaction in which one species gets benefited without harming or providing benefits to others is called commensalism.
<em>Competition:</em>
The type of interaction in which both species lose is called competition. It is opposite of mutualism.
<u>Symbiotic relationship:</u>
It refers to the type of interaction in which lastly one species gets benefited. The type of interactions such as <em>mutualism, commensalism, and Parasitism </em>are considered as symbiotic relationship.
