Answer:

Testing Platismatia glauca could help scientists understand which pollutants have the largest effect on lichen populations. It also may help scientists understand the current pollutant levels in the atmosphere compared to the population of lichens on the trees. This information can help them more accurately predict population changes over time.

hope this helps:)

hichkok12 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

  • Where (quadrant, etc.) will the doctor palpate Juan's abdomen?

<em>Under normal conditions in general the spleen can not be palped because of its reduced size. But when it is enlarged it might be easily touched. The spleen is located under the thoracic cage (rib cage) on the left side, between the 8th and 11th ribs. This would correspond to the left superior quadrant (left hemi-belly).</em>

  • What other organs might be compressed by Juan's enlarged spleen?

<em>The enlargement of the spleen and the liver inflammation are symptoms of the mono disease. This enlargement might affect some neighboring organs such as the stomach, which might be displaced and compressed. </em>

  • why is Juan's spleen enlarged and not his stomach or kidney?

<em>The spleen is part of the immunological system and helps the body to fight infections and filter old bloody cells taking them out of the blood current. This organ might get enlarged because blood cells accumulate in its interior. Red blood cells are excessively stored in the spleen, resulting in anemia. The more cells the spleen retains, the larger it becomes, and hence, the more blood cells it retains and destroys. If the spleen is unproperly working, it kills too many red blood cells and accumulates many others.</em>

The Stomach and kidney are not part of the immunity system and they do not filter blood cells, so they do not seem to be affected by their accumulation.

anyanavicka [17]

Working in a lab means working under controlled environment. If in the generation 1 and generation 3, the number of bird’s increases or decreases in number, the possible conditions for this would

- The amount of food increased or decreased

- If a flock’s beak type made it easier to pick up the available food, the flock grows and vice versa

Justification: if the beak type for generation 1 makes the food intake easier, it will grow which ultimately decreases the food for the generation 3 which has un-supportive beak type.

Use the model here to describe the transfer of matter and flow of energy from one trophic level to another within an ecosystem.
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A)Biomass is transferred from one organism to another when one organism consumes another organism. When a predator organism eats the prey organism, the molecules on the food are broken down by the digestive system into smaller molecules. These smaller molecules like lipids, amino acids, glucose are used by the organism for various purposes.

B) Energy that is not transferred from one organism to another is either used up by the organism for various purposes. Most of the energy is lost into the environment in the form of heat.

c) There are typically fewer organisms at the top of the trophic levels because energy keeps on declining at each trophic levels so the number of consumers which it can satisfy also decreases.

d) Only 10% of the energy passes from one trophic level to another. The rest is usually lost in the form of heat. For example, if there was 100%  energy in the producers, only 10% would pass to the primary consumers. The secondary consumers will receive 1%.

Answer:

The answer to the following question is given below.

Explanation:

Saline includes 9 g NaCl dissolved in 1 liter of distilled water utilized primarily for sick people with moisturization.  

This NaCl concentration has been presumed to be the physiologic concentration necessary for the restoration of vitamins and minerals by the body to control a suitable osmotic balance.

NaCl is mainly used to cover up the salt missing. In order to help nerves function properly, our bodies do require sodium.
