Why do biologists classify

Answers

Answer:

Biologists classify organisms because:

Classification allows us to understand diversity better.  It helps in the identification of living organisms as well as in understanding the diversity of living organisms. Classification helps us to learn about different kinds of plants and animals, their features, similarities and differences. It enables us to understand how complex organisms develop from simpler organisms.  They are grouped under different categories to understand and study the features, similarities and differences between different living organisms. It is essential to understand the inter-relationships among the different groups of organisms. Classification forms a base for the development of other biological sciences.

which type of plant was important in establishing the transition from water to land and the dominance of gametophyte

Answers

Answer: Nonvascular plants

Explanation:

Non-vascular plants are the plants that do not have a vascular system that has a xylem and phloem but rather, they have simpler tissues which have specialized functions that are used in the internal transport of water.

The type of plant that was important in establishing the transition from water to land and the dominance of gametophyte is the non vascular plant.

Scientists have noted patterns in the Earth's seafloor structures. For example, volcanic ridges are typically located in the center of the oceans, and trenches are typically located along the edges of continents. In addition, seafloor rocks found at the trenches are usually older than seafloor rocks found at the volcanic ridges. Which explanation of the past movement of the Earth's plates is best supported by this information? A. The continents were pushed apart when new crust formed in the center of the ocean and pushed older crust away from the volcanic ridges. B. The continents were separated when new crust that formed at the edges of the continents pushed older crust towards the center of the ocean. C. The formation of new crust at the trenches widened the seafloor and pushed the edges of the continents away from one another. D. The Earth's crust formed at the trenches and moved towards the volcanic ridges to make room for newer crust, pushing the continents apart.

Answers

Answer:

A. The continents were pushed apart when new crust formed in the center of the ocean and pushed older crust away from the volcanic ridges.

Explanation:

The crust is divided into many plates that move over the mantle. Nowadays, there are six different bigger plates and twelve that are smaller. These plates are limited by three types of ridges or borders that differ in the movement they produce.

Boundaries types:

I. Divergent

II. Convergent

III. Transforming

In divergent boundaries, a new crust is created by the rising molten materials coming from the mantle. Two plates separate, and the stream of hot material creates a new seabed between them. It occurs an expansion of the sea bottom. As old plates get separated, the new and young crust instantaneously gets formed. The emerging mantle occupies the space left by the separation of the two plates. This process occurs along with an underwater mountain range, known as the mid-oceanic ridge or divergent ridge. An example of this is the ridge located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, extending from Greenlander to the southernmost point of South America.

If an area has very little permeability, such as a city where the ground is mostly concrete, what will happen to most of the rainwater?
A. It will become groundwater.
OB. It will be pumped into underground reservoirs by large machines.
C. It will become runoff.
D. The type of surface it falls on does not affect rainwater.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The water won't be able to penetrate the ground so can't become ground water and reservoirs are usually above ground not underground so it will become run off.

Permeability is the ability of the substances to get diffused easily across the surface. The concrete ground results in the rainwater becoming runoff. Thus, option C is correct.

What is permeability?

Permeability is the capacity of the water or any fluid to pass and diffuse across the substances or any membrane to get from the higher to lower concentration.

The concrete ground and roads are not permeable and do not allow water to pass through the material and effects the collection of the rainwater through infiltration.

The rainwater is unable to filter into the groundwater and becomes runoff. This runoff gets accumulated on the roads and can even lead to floods and drain blockages.

Therefore, option C. the less permeable roads cause rainwater to become runoff.

Fill in the blank question. The initial effect of a stimulus on a sensory receptor is a small, local change in membrane potential called a(n)

Answers

Answer:

The initial effect of a stimulus on a sensory receptor is a small, local change in membrane potential called a(n) receptor potential.

Explanation:

The process used by sensory receptors to transform the physical energy of the sensory stimulus into action potentials, the fundamental unit of information in the nervous system, is called sensory transduction. The entrance of positive charges towards the interior (mainly Na +), will cause a depolarization; while if there is an exit of positive charges from the interior (mainly K +) then hyperpolarization will occur. This change in membrane potential is called the receptor potential. A receptor potential is then a local potential that can sometimes represent the only response that results from the transduction process, for example in the taste sensory cell.

When describing a group of animals, you speak about an ancestral species and some but not all of its descendants. This is an example of a _____. Group of answer choices monophyletic group polyphyletic group paraphyletic group

Answers

Answer:

This is an example of a paraphyletic group.

Explanation:

Paraphyletic groups is a group that contains only part of the descendants of a common ancestor. A group is constituted as paraphyletic when one or more holophyletic groups are subtracted from a clade (evolutionary branch). Traditional classifications are loaded with paraphyletic groups, such as invertebrates, pteridophytes, opposites. In each of these cases the group is defined by the exclusion of a smaller group within a larger one. An example is the reptiles are a paraphyletic group, since when we refer to them we are excluding mammals and birds even though they are taxa that evolutionarily descend from reptiles.

Right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle, body.

Answers

Answer:

answer is D

l

Explanation:

Blood comes into the right atrium from the body, moves into the right ventricle and is pushed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. After picking up oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out to the body's tissues through the aorta.

The statement that describes the order blood flows through the body and the heart is:

Right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle, body.

What is blood?

It is a red liquid with different shades that varies according to the amount of oxygen it has inside, that is, hemoglobin.

Characteristics of blood circulation

It is a necessary substance for oxygenation to occur between cells, as well as to regulate blood pressure.

Each side of the heart is divided into an upper chamber called the atrium and a larger, lower chamber called the ventricle.

The blood flows since it has left the right ventricle, has been oxygenated by the lungs and has returned to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins, it is carried to the left ventricle.

Therefore, we can conclude that the main function of the blood is to ensure that oxygen and nutrients are distributed between the cells of each organism.
