Answer:

Earth rotation= Surface currents (coriolis effect)

Both temperature and difference in water density cause DEEP ocean currents

Near top is obviously surface ocean

Near ocean floor= Deep

and there isnt wind in the water is it? So Wind= Surface ocean

Answer: This is What drives ocean currents

- Surface is primarily driven by wind (friction from wind transfers energy and momentum to surface water)

- Deep is slower, driven primarily by density (salinity and temperature) differences

- Thermocline: dramatic temp drop 50 m from surface bc sun can't shine

- Halocline: dramatic gradient in saline, increase as it deepens

- Pycnocline: resulting change in density (50-1000)

<span>Bacteria are tiny. A typical bacterial cell is just a few micrometres across (a few thousandths of a millimetre). The structure of a bacterial cell is different to an animal or plant cell. For example, they do not have a nucleus but they may have a flagellum. This is a tail-like part of the cell that can spin, moving the cell along.A unicellular organism is a living thing that is just one cell. There are different types of unicellular organism, including: bacteria protozoa unicellular fungi You might be tempted to think that these organisms are very simple, but in fact they can be very complex. They have adaptations that make them very well suited for life in their environment.Protozoa are unicellular organisms that live in water or in damp places. The amoeba is an example of one. Although it is just one cell, it has adaptations that let it behave a bit like an animal: it produces pseudopodia (false feet) that let it move about its pseudopodia can surround food and take it inside the cell contractile vacuoles appear inside the cell, then merge with the surface to remove waste

You may be familiar with fungi from seeing mushrooms and toadstools. Yeast are unicellular fungi. They are used by brewers and wine-makers because they convert sugar into alcohol, and by bakers because they can produce carbon dioxide to make bread to rise. Yeast have a cell wall, like plant cells, but no chloroplasts. This means they have to absorb sugars for their nutrition, rather than being able to make their own food by photosynthesis Yeast can reproduce by producing a bud. The bud grows until it is large enough to split from the parent cell as a new yeast cell.</span>

Which one of the following choices best represents a short-term benefit of cardiorespiratory fitness?
Kobotan [32]
C - it increases stamina and reduces fatigue.

While stress and boredom reduction are also true, they are not cardiovascular benefits in this case. For that reason, answer C is the correct one. When one starts being physically active for a certain amount of time, increased stamina and reduced fatigue will follow.

Tom [10]

Answer:

Endothermic

Explanation:

Amphibians are ectothermic organisms. Ectothermic animals are coldblooded animals. From the options above, the correct answer is endothermic because amphibians are not hot blooded and are never endothermic.

This shows that the animals are similar and that they develop similarly, implying that they are related, have common ancestors and that they started out the same, gradually evolving different traits, but that the basic plan for a creature's beginning remains the same.</span>
