The correct answer is:

b. fat storage in their tails

Explanation;

Gila monsters deposit fat in their tail whenever they eat so they can apply it later in a shortage of food. Because their preys, such as Gambel’s quails and cottontail rabbits, have a sexual cycle that does not give the Gila monsters regular preys, they use this attribute to store energy as a form of adjustment to their preys' reproductive cycle.

Ans.

Gila monster is a venomous lizard, native to Mexican states and United states.  Gila monster shows adaptations to feed on Gambel's quails and cottontail rabbits according to their reproductive cycle.

The Gambel's quails and cottontail rabbits breed and lay eggs during April to May. As Gila monsters mainly depend on these two organisms as their prey, they can consume the large amount of food in a time (during their nesting period) and can store the food in the form of fat in their tails for later use.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option b). fat storage in their tails.'

What is the primary function of carbohydrates attached to the exterior of cell membranes?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. Identification of the cell

Explanation:

The cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of the cell, that protects and separates the interior of the cells from the external environment.

The carbohydrate layer of the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. In eukaryotes, <u>the carbohydrates present on the surface of the cell membrane play a important role in the cell-cell recognition and share information.</u>

In 1603, German astronomer Christoph Scheiner began to copy and scale diagrams using an instrument that came to be known as the
Sever21 [200]

Answer

1. The writing utensil’s placement facilitates the drawing of two or more lines with a single stroke of the pantograph. This means while drawing an image two or more copies of varying sizes may be created at the same time. The pantograph mirror is used to extend or retract an image.

2. The operation of a pantograph relates to dilations and similarity in that both of the processes are done on the graph and it is possible to use similar triangles through measuring the size of the triangles. Pantograph contains links that maybe arranged in other ways because they contain a parallelogram.

3. You can use similar triangles to describe the working of the pantograph because the ratio of similitude is set when determining where to put the pin. When one triangle is moved with the part being specific to the point (tracing style), along the outline of the image, an enlarged/reduced version of the image is created by movement of the other triangle (drawing stylus point).


4. Pantograph has been replaced by modern ways of producing duplicates such as photocopying, mass printing and digital filing. This is because the technique is currently outdated and the fact that it is difficult to use then now due to their complex designs which does not allow users to properly grip an actual writing utensil like the pen.

The r group of an amino acid would need to have what characteristic to be located in a cell membrane?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The R group should have the ability to form hydrogen bonds.

The R-group take a lot of different chemical forms and can be acidic, basic, polar or non polar. Amino acids that are either acidic or basic consequently have either positive or negative charge. These types of R-groups are stabilized when surrounded by water.

A scientist decides to study the effect of salt on a particular type of bacteria. Arrange the steps of the scientific method in
Debora [2.8K]
The scientific method is a problem-solving approach used in Biology and other scientific disciplines. This method has five basic steps which help scientists test their hypotheses. The first step of the scientific method is to make an observation. In this particular example, the scientist observes probably that salt has chemical and physical properties which could affect the life cycle of bacteria. The second step would be to ask a question and that would be to ask whether salt indeed has any effect on that particular type of bacteria that he/she studies. The third step would be to form a hypothesis and that would be to state that the specific bacterial type will be strongly affected by the salt. The fourth step would be to predict that if the scientist exposed this bacterial type to a salty environment, the bacteria would not survive. The fifth and final step is to test this prediction and if the bacteria do not survive, then the scientist can conclude that salt affects this bacterial type.
