Answer:

The method used by Atlantic cod to maintain homeostasis is discussed below.

Explanation:

Active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration against the concentration gradient.

The Atlantic cod would drink seawater to meet its water needs. But as this water will contain excess amounts of sodium and chlorine ions, the Atlantic cod will use the mechanism of active transport to move the sodium and chlorine atoms from its body. Due to active transport,the excess salt atoms will pass on again into the water. Unlike diffusion, energy is used for the process of active transport to occur.

How does water's specific heat relate to its usefulness for life give examples?
RideAnS [48]
<span>Water covers around 70% of the Earth's surface and its high specific heat plays a very important role as it is able to absorb a lot of heat without a significant rise in the temperature. When temperatures decrease, the heat which is stored is released, restraining a rapid drop in temperature. The combined effect of these processes is a buffering of temperature on the Earth.</span>

Cinnabar colored eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are autosomal recessive genes and lobe shaped eyes (L) is an autosomal domi
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct genotypic notation for a wild type with phenotypic characteristics: red eyes, long bristle and round eyes will be any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl or CNRdl if c, n, r and d are capable of independent assortment and CNRDl if they cannot.

Explanation:

The eye color and bristle size is coordinated by either recessive cn and dominant CN or Cn genes. The wild type in questions has red color eyes, which is a dominant trait coordinated by CN or Cn if c and n can undergo assortment independently or just CN if they cannot. The second characteristics of the wild type is long bristle. We were told that reduced bristle is coordinated by recessive rd Gene. Then the long bristle in our specimen wild type will have dominant genotypic notification of RD or Rd, depending if r and d can undergo assortment independently. The last trait is a round eyes, which is a recessive trait controlled by recessive allele l. Therefore, the combined characteristics of red eye color, long bristle and round eyes shape of the wild type will be CNRDl or any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl CNRdl depending on the segregation pattern of c, n, r and d.

postnew [5]

Answer:

5- action potential 6- receptors 7- calcium ions 8- sarcolemma

Explanation:

This description illustrates the pathway of a action potential traveling along a neuro-muscular junction. this functions as a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fibre. It allow the motor neuron to transmit a signal/action potential to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction.
