Answer:

B. Does the organism perform photosynthesis?

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophic, that is they are capable of making their own food. They carry out photosynthesis, converting light energy to chemical energy which they use.

Fungi on the other hand are heterotrophic, they do not make their own food. They do not carry out photosynthesis.

Hence, ability to perform photosynthesis is an attribute that'll differentiate between fungi and plants.

devlian [24]

Answer:

C: competitive exclusion

Explanation:

<em>The competitive exclusion principle states that organisms living in the same community while competing for the same resources cannot coexist at a constant population rate. </em>

Once some of the species within the community get a slight competitive edge over other species, they become dominant and this might lead to the extinction of the weaker species in the long run.

<u>In the experimental plot, the removal of sea stars provided mussel and barnacle with a competitive advantage over other species within the community (sea stars are predators of mussels and barnacles). This led to the dominance of mussel and barnacle and the eventual extinction of other species within the experimental plot as compared to the control plot.</u>

The correct answer is C.

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. 1. Rod cells are depolarized in the dark. (Click to select) 2. Glutamate binds
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1. true, 2. true, 3. false, and 4. true.

Explanation:

1. Rod cells are the photoreceptors present in the retina that are hyperpolarized not depolarized in dark due to sodium ions efflux.

2. Depolarisation of the bipolar cell of the retina by glutamate release by rods and cones.

3. The adaption according to the light is known as a light adaptation which takes place due to a large part of photochemical in both rods and cones which is reduced to retinal and opsins.

4. when the light reaction takes place retinal converted to opsin

Benjamina started her walk from the front door of her ground floor apartment. She walked 6 meters to the corner of the building
Alona [7]
Benjamina has walked two legs of a right triangle, so you can connect her two movements with a line if you were sketching the situation.. The displacement is the objects overall change in position in relation to its origin, so in your case, Benjamina's apartment. While the total distance adds up regardless of her position. 

So, the total distance Benjamina walked is 10m + 6m = 16m 
Her displacement can be found by your best friends, the Pythagorean Theorem: 10m ^2 + 6m ^2 = delta x^2 (or displacement squared).. giving you a displacement of 11.66, or 12 m

The difference between the distance she walked and her displacement is 4 meters.

Alex

Answer:

Basophils of the blood help to get defensive leukocytes to the site quickly by releasing an anticoagulant called ___heparin_______ and a vasodilator called _____histamine_____

Explanation:

Basophils are a type of white blood cell containing specific granules that release histamine (vasodilator) and heparin (a substance with anticoagulant action) and azurophilic granules that contain lysosomes. They are important in allergic and anaphylactic processes.
