Microbeads are tiny, smooth, plastic spheres found in common household products such as facial soap. These beads, measuring from 0.0004 to 1.24 mm, roughly the size of some fish eggs, are too small to be removed by water treatment systems. Thus, they end up in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. The accumulation of these microbeads is an environmental concern for aquatic biologists because microbeads
(1) make the lakes and rivers cloudy and dirty, affecting their appearance
(2) may stick to some household water pipes, preventing drainage problems
(3) could be mistaken for food by some species, working their way up the food chain
(4) could clog fishing nets, affecting the ability of fishermen to catch fish

Answers

Answer:

(3) could be mistaken for food by some species, working their way up the food chain

Explanation:

Microbeads, such as other microplastics, can affect wildlife in many ways, but mostly by

IngestionIntroduction and transference in the trophic webInteraction with other contaminantsMicroinvertebrates, bacteria, and viruses colonize these microplastics and can be transported long distances.

Organisms like mollusks, crustaceans, fishes, birds, turtles, among many others, might confuse these elements with food and eat them. Microbeads might float or accumulate in sediments and be ingested by different benthonic species. The ingestion of microbeads by inferior links in the trophic web means a direct entrance in the trophic web where many superior links are affected too while feeding with already contaminated prey.

The ingestion of microbeads can cause a significant impact on the growth, development, and reproduction of freshwater and seawater species.  

Microbeads, like other microplastics, characterize for their durability in time and resistance, which means that the ones that are already in the oceans and rivers will last there for centuries.

which value most closely represents the amount of freshwater on earth,as a percentage of the total water on earth

Answers

2 percent
The fresh water is only present in the form of glaciers and the water flowing in the lakes and the rivers. The fresh water source occupies approximately 3% of the total water present on the earth. Hence, the value closely related to the amount of the fresh on the earth is 2 percent.

b. A drug that is inhaled as vapors
c. a drug that temporarily increases energy and alertness
d. drug withdrawal occurring in newborn infants
e. laboratory made drugs that closely resemble common illegal drugs in chemical structure and effect
f. a drug that slows the body and the brain

Answers

Answer:

a. Drug abuse

b. Inhalants

c. Stimulants

d. Neonatal abstinence syndrome

e. Club designer drugs

f. Depressants

Explanation:

Drug abuse can be defined as the excessive use of drugs that can be harmful to the individual or to others, which is associated with social, behavioral, physical and job-related problems. Inhalants drugs (e.g., glue, cocaine) are volatile drugs whose inhalation may induce psychoactive and/or mind-altering effects. Stimulant drugs (e.g., cocaine, amphetamines) are drugs that excite body functions by accelerating the activity of the central nervous system (CNS), while depressant drugs (e.g., alcohol) slow down the CNS. Neonatal abstinence syndrome occurs when a neonate withdraws from certain drugs (usually opioid drugs which interact with opioid receptors) to which he/she was exposed before birth. Finally, designer drugs (e.g., ecstasy, ketamine, LSD) are drugs synthesized in illegal labs which are commonly known as “club drugs” because they are often used and sold in nightclubs.

a increase in breathing rate can be triggered by an increase in the carbon dioxide containing in the blood. the increase in breathing rate is caused by a mechanism called​

Answers

when there is high concentration of co2 in our body then respiratory centre ( medulla and pons) get activated and it increase rate of respiration which decreases co2 concentration

The apneustic (stimulating) and pnuemotaxic (limiting) centers of the pons work together to control rate of breathing.

What is medulla?

Medulla is defined as the lowest part of the brain and the lowest portion of the brainstem. The medulla oblongata is connected by the pons to the midbrain and is continuous posteriorly with the spinal cord, with which it merges at the opening (foramen magnum) at the base of the skull.

The medulla sends signals to the muscles that initiate inspiration and expiration and controls nonrespiratory air movement reflexes, like coughing and sneezing.

Luisa went into the bathroom after her sister had a bath. It was full of mist and the mirror was covered with the a lot of liquid drops. What was the mist made of?

Answers

Answer:

Mist is made of water vapor.

Explanation:

The bathroom mirror and the fog that the bathroom presents after someone takes a shower, is formed by water vapor. This water vapor is formed by the hot water from showers, which evaporates. This water vapor is what forms the mist, however, when this mist touches the surfaces of the bathroom, such as the mirror, it becomes water again and that smothers the mirror. The mist becomes water when touching the mirror because of the difference in temperature between them, as the mist is hot and the mirror is cold. This happens through the condensation of water.

Entre una planta alta de color purpura (AABB) con otras planta enana de color blanco (aabb), ¿cómo será el genotipo y el fenotipo de la F1 Y F2?

Answers

Answer:

- Alelos:  

Locus 1: A (alto); a (enano)

Locus 2: B (púrpura); b (blanco)

- Cruzamiento parental: AABB  x aabb

Genotipos F1: AaBb

- Cruzamiento F1: AaBb x AaBb

Fenotipo: 100% plantas altas púrpuras

- Genotipos F2:  AABB (1/16); Aabb (1/16); aaBB (1/16); aabb (1/16); AaBb (4/16); AABb (2/16); aaBb (2/16); AaBB (2/16); Aabb (2/16)

- Fenotipos F2: 9/16 A-B- (altas púrpuras); 3/16 A-bb (altas blancas); 3/16 aaB- (enanas púrpuras); 1/16 aabb (enanas blancas)

Explanation:

Un cruzamiento dihíbrido refiere a un tipo de cruzamiento entre dos parentales que difieren para  dos pares de alelos (AABB x aabb). Si consideramos dos loci de dominancia completa, un cruzamiento dihíbrido producirá una F1 heterocigota para ambos genes donde la progenie expresará ambos rasgos dominantes. Como resultado de la distribución independiente expresada en la segunda ley de Mendel, La F2 de este tipo de cruzamiento producirá un proporción fenotípica 9:3:3:1; es decir 9 individuos con ambos rasgos dominantes (A-B-), 3 con el rasgo uno dominante (A-bb), 3 con el rasgo dos dominante (aaB-) y 1 con ambos rasgos recesivos (aabb).

As native mason bees visit flowers, they spread pollen while also consuming nectar from the plant. This is an example of symbiosis.
true or fasle

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Symbiosis is a type of relationship or interaction between two different biological organisms/species by which both are benefited. The bees such as mason bees are pollinators. Pollinators are animals (especially insects) that help the development of seeds and the fruit surrounding seeds by the pollination of flowers, i.e., by the transference of pollen from male anthers of a flower to the female stigma. During this process, pollinators eat nectar, which is a sweet energy-rich liquid secreted by flowers. In consequence, both species (i.e., plants and mason bees) are benefited from this interaction.
