How does the frogs vestigial thumb help survival?

Biology
1 answer:
Leviafan [203]2 years ago

Frogs have their way of avoiding the predators like camouflage, squirting the poisonous liquid out of their system and through their vestigial thumbs. This organ helps them by avoiding predation by stealth which makes them quiet and silent in moving so that predators won't notice them readily.

How were aristotle's and linnaeus classification systems different?
DanielleElmas [232]
Both Aristotle and Linnaeus classified animals and plants, considering where the species lived. However, Linnaeus delved further into classifying organisms looking at their morphology, with an ordered subset of the organism's class divided into five kingdoms: class, order, species, genus, and variety. The process of this classification is called Taxonomy, however, modern scholars also consider the evolutionary history of a species, in the classification process.

Which of the following is most consistent with homeostasis? Select one: a. As blood pressure falls, blood flow to cardiac (heart
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Both C and E are reasonable answers.

Explanation:

Homeostasis describes the body's ability to maintain a stable equilibirum. In other words, if the body experiences a stress, it will generate a response that works to counteract that stress and restore itself to how it was prior to the stress.

A. This describes a cause and effect (BP down --> venous return down). It does not describe an active physiological response to counteract the BP drop such as an increase in heart rate. Not homeostasis.

B. Again, a cause and effect is described. Blood vessel walls becoming thinner is not a response to counteract increased BP. Not homeostasis.

C. Here a response to a stress is described. Men are drinking more water. The body responds by getting rid of that water, restoring the body to its former state. This describes homeostasis.

D. This sounds like homeostasis, but it's actually the opposite of what happens. Dilation of peripheral blood vessels is a way for the body to get rid of heat. This is the opposite of what you would want if the body got colder - it would make the stress worse, which is the opposite of homeostasis. In actuality the response to cold temperature is constriction of blood vessels to preserve heat.

E. This deescribes homeostasis. The stress is increased glucose. The body's response to manage it is to release insulin, which helps remove the glucose from circulation.

Drag each label to the correct location on the image.
Fittoniya [83]

The correct matches are:

1. Sea level (0 m) - 100%

2. Mid-level elevation (4,500 m) - 57%

3. Peak (8,850 m) - 33%

The level of oxygen in the atmosphere depends a lot on the elevation. The smaller the elevation, the higher the oxygen level, and vice versa, the higher the elevation, the lower the oxygen level. So we have a situation in which the oxygen level is the highest at 0 elevation, or rather at sea level. As we go to higher elevations, let say to around 4,500 m, the oxygen level is significantly dropped, which makes it difficult for breathing. If we go even on higher elevation, like 8,850 m, than the oxygen level will much lower, and a human will need to undergo intense long training and also carry oxygen with him/her in order to survive.
