The correct answer is: 4) Standing defenses are always present; induced defenses develop in response to a threat

Induced defense is defense that can be changed or invoked when needed. Induced defenses are slow to happen. When invoked, induced defense requires energy but otherwise doesn’t.

Standing defense is always there. It is use, for example when predation is a constant threat.

Macronutrients are nutrients that contain inorganic components. a. True b. False

emmasim [6.3K]

This is false, as macronutrients are all made of organic components. Macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The most basic unit for carbohydrates is glucose. Glucose is an organic molecule with a chemical formula of C6H12O6 which then is broken down by the body to convert it to energy (in the form of ATP). Fats or triglycerides are comprised of fatty acids and a glycerol backbone which can also be used by the body for energy or can be stored for later use. Proteins on the other hand are functional molecules wherein the basic unit for proteins is the amino acid. Proteins are exemplified because they contain nitrogen (CHON). All of which can be used as energy and has specific caloric value per gram (4 kcal for every gram of protein and carbohydrates and 9 kcal for every gram of fat).

Micronutrients are usually inorganic compounds with no caloric value. Usually these micronutrients are essential for maintaining biochemical pathways in the body. For instance, niacin and riboflavin are vitamins that are needed in the production of NAD and FAD which are important for reduction-oxidation reactions in the body (i.e. tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain).

HAPPY NEW YEARS !!! CAN SOMEONE PLEASEEEE HELP ME WITH THIS SCIENCE QUESTION I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST !!!

Answer:

According to the image shown, the country that most closely resembles the population pyramid by age is the United States (option A).

Explanation:

The population pyramid consists of a bar chart that groups the population by age and sex. Each sex is separated into two columns, while from the base to the top the ages are grouped from lowest to highest.

The pyramid by age shown in the image corresponds to a developed country, such as the United States, since the distribution of the population of infants and young people is proportional, being more acute in the advanced ages, acquiring the shape of a bottle.

The "bottle" shape of the population pyramid indicates a controlled birth rate, as well as good availability of basic and sanitary resources, characteristic of a developed country like the United States.

The other options are not correct because:

C and D. In developing countries such as Nigeria and Ethiopia, the birth rate is high - forming a broad base - and the resources available are limited, so there is a progressive decrease as the age groups are distributed, giving a true pyramid shape.

B. Italy, a European country, has a tendency to rhomboidal population pyramids. This is due to a predominance of adult, young and mature, population, low birth rate, good basic and sanitary resources.

Which cranial nerve transmits information about audition? which cranial nerve transmits information about audition? vestibulococ

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer;

-Vestibulocochlear

The cranial nerve transmits information about audition vestibulocochlear.

Explanation;

-The vestibular branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve transmits afferent impulses for the sense of equilibrium. The cochlear branch transmits afferent impulses for the sense of hearing.

-The vestibulocochlear nerve is responsible for both hearing and balance and brings information from the inner ear to the brain. This nerve determines the human sense of equilibrium.

I found this "gem" like rock in my front-yard when I was digging. Can anyone help me identify it? I would be more than grateful!

Anna71 [15]

It’s cool that you found that! You can try identifying it by its luster, color, breakage, etc, Try getting a piece of paper or something, scrap it on the paper, and see what it leaves behind. That’s a way many scientists identify rocks/crystals. You can also google types of rocks and see if you find a match. You always need to look at its color, as the color is the most distinctive feature of a rock. If you’ve since all of these things and your very serious about it, you can try calling somewhere or someone who would know (like a scientist who studies rocks).
