Answer:  a. to decompose dead animals

Explanation:

Detritivores are the hetrotrophic organisms which feed upon detritus (dead and decaying plant and animal matter). These detritivores break down the biological dead matter into simple molecules which are readily consumed by the small microorganisms present in the soil. Detritivores are essential for the ecosystem as they return important materials such as carbon and other essential elements back to the environment after decomposing the dead matter. Example of common detritivores includes earthworms.

On the basis of the above explanation, the role of a detritivore is a. to decompose dead animals.

What fine-tuned sensory receptors detect differences in tension generated by active muscle rather than muscle length
Anastaziya [24]

golgi tendon organs fine-tuned sensory receptors detect differences in tension generated by active muscle rather than muscle length.

  • Gamma motor neurons fire to regain sensitivity, causing the spindle to contract, becoming taut and regaining the ability to transmit muscle length.
  • There are two groups of motor neurons. Extrafusal fibers, the rapidly contracting fibers that give the muscle its power, are innervated by alpha motor neurons.

What is golgi tendon organs?

  • The Golgi tendon organ, which is located close to the point where a tendon joins a muscle, is a sensory ending that resembles a tree and is encased in a spindle-shaped connective tissue capsule.
  • In a male, one tendon organ is attached to 10 to 20 muscle fibers.
  • An endpoint of a typical tendon organ in limb muscles is roughly 0.5 mm long.

Individuals of population X are prey

Individuals of population Y caught and spread a disease.

Individuals of population Y lost their shelters after a flood

Answer:

The correct answer would be -  Individuals of population X are predators.

Explanation:

The limiting factor is a factor that prevents or slow the growth of the population. In this case the population an increase of a population results in the decrease in the other population directly.

Increase in the population X results directly in the dcrease of the decrease of population Y. Such relation of the two variables in apopulation growth occurs when there is predator- prey relatioship among two organism or population. Increase in the population of predator result in decrese of the population of prey.
