Answer:
a) This method of stickiness is advantageous over covalent interactions because it is weak and easily reversible.
b) The feet are equipped with millions of septae which collectively produce a synergistic effect that produces a powerful adhesive effect.
Explanation:
Geckos have their feet studded with tiny hair-like substances called septae, and these substances interact with the surfaces on which the Gecko climbs using weak van der Waals forces to produce stickiness.
a) The van der Waals interactions for the purpose of climbing is of more advantage over the covalent method of interaction because climbing involves a repetitive action of adhesion to the surface and destruction of such adhesion, and this involves the creation and the breaking of the bonds between the two surfaces easily. van der Waals forces being easily broken helps to achieve effective climbing. If the method of interaction is with a comparatively strong bond, the speed of creation and destruction of such bond is reduced, and the effectiveness of climbing is reduced.
b) Although van der Waals forces are weak forces, each foot of the wall Gecko has millions of septae that each create a van der Waals interaction, and the collective interactions produce a powerful adhesion causing the feet to stick effectively.
I believe that the correct answer is B; some insects are born with an ability to avoid harm from an insecticide, and they pass this ability to avoid harm from an insecticide, and they pass this ability to their offspring when they mate and reproduce. Insects with this ability have an advantage over insects without this ability; over many generations, more insects with this ability will survive to reproduce, and more insects without this ability will die before they can reproduce. In the long run most of the insects in the population will have the ability to avoid harm from the insecticide.
Answer:
b. It allows gas exchange while preventing water loss
Explanation:
Amniotic eggs are the feature of land animals such as reptiles, birds, mammals, etc. The amniotic eggs have four extra-embryonic membranes. This semipermeable protective shell allows the exchange of respiratory gases but does not support the transport of water out of the egg.
The ability to maintain the water inside the egg while permitting gaseous exchange is the specific feature of amniotic eggs and allowed diversification of land animals in the land habitats.
The answer is b. An animal that relies on the digestive tract for digestion breaks down food via extracellular digestion. The digestive tract uses mechanical and chemical processes to digest the food. Extracellular digestion is a type of digestion that happens in an opening as part of a digestive system where the nutrients produced from digestion is transferred to the blood or other body fluids. The digestive tract serve as the opening.
