1 answer:

5 0

Once food is in the small intestine, it stimulates the pancreas to release fluid containing a high concentration of bicarbonate. This fluid neutralizes the highly acidic gastric juice, which would otherwise damage the membrane lining of the intestine, resulting in a duodenal ulcer.

Some species form social groups only with members of the same gender. For example, elephants form groups with only females and t

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

When the females tend to form a solitary group, the adult males have an advantage of mating with females in different social groups thus enhancing on the productivity of the species.

Explanation:

When both the sexes of the species tend to make a group, the males and the females of the group have to mate with the members of that particular group and hence the males have restricted mating options which reduce the size of the herd. When the females have a separate social group, the males can mate with the members of different groups and raise the herd size in a short period of time. This helps in the increase in the population size and also helps in avoiding inbreeding depression which happens among small grouped animals.

For each of the following, circle the word that does not belong belong with the rest and then in ONE complete sentence, explain

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: the words that doesn't belong include:

1.) Power

2.) Deforestation

Explanation:

1.) Coal, Oil, Solar and Natural Gas are considered to be sources of energy while POWER is not considered among the rest this is because it's energy in action and not a source of energy.

Coal, oil and natural gas are known as fossil fuels which are the most common sources of energy in industries and homes. These fossil fuels are destroyed by use, that is, they cannot be recovered. Alternative sources of energy is the solar which is gotten from the sun energy. Although not considered a very efficient energy producer, there are already discovered schemes that would provide us with an inexhaustible supply of energy which would also not cause any pollution problems.

2.) Biodegradable, Recycling and Sustainability are means by which pollution is being avoided in the environment. While DEFORESTATION is a process that can cause pollution of an environment, therefore it doesn't fit into the rest of other words.

Biodegradable materials can be broken down by microorganism. Examples include human and animal excreta. Recycling is the reprocessing of waste materials in order to be re-used. This reduces the amount of waste that are sent to incinerators. While sustainability is the maintenance of the ecosystem to remain diverse and productive over time. This could be seen in the preferred use of renewable energy over non renewable energy. But deforestation is the massive cutting down of trees which can cause soil erosion and climate changes leading to the pollution of the environment.
