Answer:
<h2>
False</h2>
Explanation:
The human body mechanisms try to excrete out the ethanol from the body before it gets circulated in the body through blood. The body does so by converting the ethanol to certain metabolic products which get filtered and excreted out through urine.
The metabolism of alcohol takes place in the liver in two steps- Ethanol is converted to acetaldehyde by the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme. The acetaldehyde is toxic to cells and is the compound responsible for the hangover after drinking.
The acetaldehyde is then converted to acetic acid by an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The acetic acid through respiration gets converted to water and carbon dioxide and rest is excreted out through urine.
Thus, the liver is the organ responsible for the metabolism of ethanol and not pancreas.
The finch that usually preys on insects located in cracks would most likely have beaks that are shaped as sharp and thin. To reach into crevices, a small and pointy beak will fit and make it easier for the finch to capture its small prey.
Answer:
Ecosystem distribution
Explanation:
<u>The placement of biomes throughout the earth as a result of climatic factors such as temperature and precipitation is referred to as ecosystem distribution.</u>
Biomes generally represents a community of living organisms that are able to tolerate the climate of a place based on shared attributes. For example, all plants in the desert biomes are able to withstand low water.
An ecosystem refers a collection of different communities of organisms that are interacting with one another and their physical environment as a form of system.
Climatic factors such as temperature and precipitation delimits species distribution in an environment. Communities that are able to tolerate similar climatic conditions are placed in the same ecosystem. Hence, we have the <em>forest ecosystem, desert ecosystem, marine ecosystem, freshwater ecosystem, etc.</em>
Ionic bonds involve a cation and an anion. The bond is formed when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. Another atom, typically a non-metal, is able to acquire the electron(s) to become a negative ion, or anion.
Answer:
Explanation:
The crust below the oceans is thinner than the crust below that continents.
This crust is called oceanic crust. It is predominantly made up of mafic magma which produces basalt and other mafic rocks when they cool and solidify.
The oceanic crust is generally thinner than the continental crust below the continent.
The oceanic crust is about 5-10km thick.
Continental crust is about 30km thick.
In terms of density, the oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.
