Why does the pectoral girdle need to be flexible while the pelvic girdle needs to be rigid?

Biology
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Flexibility: pectoral girdle is more flexible-less ligaments, ball and socket joint is shallower

Security: pelvic girdle is more secure, deeper socket. there are more dislocated shoulders than dislocated hips

ability to bear weight: pelvic girdle can bear more weight-the pelvic girdle has bones that are fused (os coxa) and a joint with the sacrum. the pectoral girdle has a little bone called the clavicle connecting it to the body wall.

Are bacteria and humans structured the same or different? Discuss the levels of organization.
liraira [26]
Bacteria and humans are structured differently. All bacteria fall into a a distinct domain of organisms called "Prokaryotes" which are identified with a striking characteristic of absence of well defined nucleus. While all the higher organisms like Humans, are "Eukaryotes" since their cells have a defined structure called "nucleus"

Sequence the events that occur during mitosis
solniwko [45]

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

                  Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ 1. Prophase- coils form, chromosomes become visible and condensed, nucleolus disappears, nuclear membrane breaks down

2. Metaphase - spindle fibers pull duplicated chromosomes to middle of cell. Chromosomes line up in single file

3. Anaphase- each sister chromatid separates and they move to opposite sides

4. Telophase- spindle fibers disappear. Nuclear membrane forms around chromatin. Two identical nuclei are formed. Final phase of mitosis.

Describe what role a pioneer species plays during the process of ecological succession
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Early colonizer role

Explanation:

Ecological succession refers to changes in the structure of components species of an ecological community over a period of time which can be as low as a decade or as large as millions of years.

Succession is divided into 3 main stages;

  • primary succession
  • secondary succession
  • climax/stable community

Primary succession occur when living organism colonize an area that holds no life at all. The colonizing living organisms are therefore referred to as <em>pioneer species. </em>They colonize the new area and kickstart the various ecological processes that make up a community.

Secondary succession occur when the living organisms inhabiting a community are gradually replaced by new species of organisms.

Climax community is a stable or minimally changing ecological communities.

<em>Hence, pioneer species are early colonizer of a newly areas that hold no previous life. They kickstart the various ecological processes that constitute an ecological community such as soil formation, nutrient cycling, and primary productivity.</em>
