Answer:

D. Ticks live on and drink blood from a cow.

This is an example of parasitism, where the ticks (parasite) are living off of the blood of the cow, the host animal.

Explanation:

Parasitism is a relationship between organisms. In this relationship, one organism (parasite) lives on or in another organism (host) and gains benefits from the host, causing it some harm.

Parasites are classified as ectoparasites, which live on the body surface of the host (ticks, fleas, leeches, and lice) and endoparasites, which live in the body of the host. Endoparasites are either intercellular, which live inside the host’s body (round worms, tapeworms) or intracellular, which live inside the cells in the host’s body (bacteria or viruses).

Parasites help to control dominant species and has a role in evolution by transferring genetic material between species.

Each arm or extension of the gray matter in the spinal cord is referred to as a horn
Projecting towards the back of the spinal cord are the dorsal horns (or posterior horns)
Projecting towards the front are the ventral horns (or anterior horns)
In the thoracic and upper lumbar regions of the cord, an additional pair of side projections occur, which are called the lateral horns

Identify the longest, shortest, strongest, and weakest bonds from those highlighted below.

amm1812

Longest: D. Shortest: A. Strongest: A. Weakest: D.

Explanation: Answer choice A is the shortest and strongest. The greater number of bonds causes the electrons to be more compact and closer together. This makes the bond length short. Because the bond is tighter, it is also stronger.

Single bonds are the weakest and longest. So, now we must look at the difference between C and D. They're both C-C bonds, but the carbon bond in choice D is weaker because of the difference in p-character (hybridization).

The large central vacuole would become dehydrated, because without enough water stored in it, there wouldn't be any turgor pressure (water pushing against the cell wall) to support the cell, which causes the plant to wilt.
