What happens to species diversity WITHOUT Pisaster? *
Answer:
The starfish Pisaster ochraceus is a keystone species in the rocky marine intertidal communities off the northwest coast of North America. This predatory starfish feeds on the mussel Mytilus californianus and is responsible for maintaining much of the local diversity of species within certain communities. A keystone species is an organism that helps define an entire ecosystem. Without its keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether. This means that if the species were to disappear from the ecosystem, no other species would be able to fill its ecological niche.

1. Which of the following occurrence can be explain
by convection?
A. How a fire place can heat up people in a room
B. How the heat of the sun reaches earth
C. Why a handle of a metal spoon also gets hot when
placed on a steamy soup
D. Why chilly air always remains near the floor
2. Which of the following is NOT true about heat?
A. It is a form of energy
B. It transfers from one object to another.
C. It is caused by a temperature difference between
two objects
D. It determines the hotness or coldness of an object
3. Which of the following describes heat?
A. Energy stored in all objects regardless of
temperature
B. Energy that causes objects to have temperature.
C. Energy transferred due to difference in materials
D. Energy transferred due to temperature differences
4. An unknown object is placed in contact with a heat
source. It was observed that the object did not increase
its temperature Which of the following explains why?
A. The object is heated too much.
B. The object is heated via radiation.
C. The object is a thermal insulator,
D. The object is a thermal conductor.
Answer:
1. C. Why a handle of a metal spoon also gets hot when placed on a steamy soup.
2. D. It determines the hotness or coldness of an object.
3. D. Energy transferred due to temperature differences.
4. C. The object is a thermal insulator.
Explanation:
Convection is the transfer of heat energy through the movement of a liquid or gas from one place to another. If we place a metal object at a distance from the hot body so the fumes that comes out increase the temperature of the metal that is present on the hot body. Temperature determines the hotness or coldness of an object not the heat. The heat energy transferred from one body to another due to difference in temperature of both objects. Insulator are those materials which no ability to transfer heat energy from one place to another.
Down syndrome in humans is due to ________ of the 21 st chromosome.
Answer:
Down syndrome in humans is due to ADDITIONAL, PARTIAL OR FULL COPY of the 21 st chromosome.
Explanation:
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder in which an individual has a total of 47 chromosomes instead of 46 that is, 23 pairs of chromosomes which is found in normal individuals. This occurs as a result of the presence of additional, partial or full copy of chromosome 21. There are generic variations that occurs in chromosome 21 leading to down syndrome, these include:
-->Trisomy 21 : the individual has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two copies due to abnormal cell division that occurred during development of sperm or egg.
--> Mosaic Down syndrome: the individual has some cells with an extra copy of chromosome 21 and it's caused by abnormal cell division after fertilization.
--> Translocation down syndrome: This type of down syndrome occurs when chromosome 21 gets attached to another chromosome which occurs during or after conception.
Generally the symptoms due to the presence of this extra genetic material includes:
--> short heights
--> poor muscle development
--> short neck
--> short fingers with small hands and feet
--> increased risk to development of dementia
--> greater tendency to develop obesity

Lakesha was culturing bacteria. She used aseptic technique to make sure there was no contamination. When she was finished, she used water to clean the surface of her table. She then put the sample in the incubator, removed her gloves, and washed her hands with soap and water.
Answer:
d. She should be using a disinfectant on her table, not just water.
Explanation:
When Lakesha finished culturing the bacteria, she should not have used water alone to clean the table because water can't kill bacteria. She has to use a disinfectant in order to remove bacteria from the table. This disinfectant has the ability to kill all the bacteria that is present at the table and there is no chance of infection from these bacteria. So we can say that she made a mistake to clean the table with just water and not using the disinfectant over it.

Streptococcus pneumoniae causes all of the following EXCEPT ________. Group of answer choices meningitis. lobar pneumonia. bronchopneumonia. necrotizing fasciitis. bacteremia.
Answer:
The correct answer is ''necrotizing fasciitis.''
Explanation:
Streptococcus pneumoniae belongs to the Streptococcaceae family. It is a Gram positive bacterium, normally facultative anaerobic, catalase negative, immobile, with an oval shape, surrounded by a capsule (does not present Lancefield antigens) and is usually grouped into chains of two (diplococcus) or more bacteria. It can give rise to a wide range of manifestations, among them, the most frequent but the least serious are upper respiratory tract infections, such as: otitis media, sinusitis, etc; while the less frequent but the most serious are: pneumococcal pneumonia, invasive pneumococcal disease, meningitis and septicemia. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive infection that affects the skin, subcutaneous cellular tissue, superficial and deep fascia, causing tissue necrosis and severe systemic toxicity, which, if not treated in a timely manner, is invariably fatal. The most common germs in immunocompetent people are Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. In patients with a defined gateway in the skin, the incidence of S. aureus is high. Deep necrotizing processes can be mono- or polymicrobial. In monomicrobial processes, pathogenesis is largely mediated by toxins (FN by S. pyogenes, FN by S. aureus, clostridial myonecrosis). In polymicrobial processes there is a synergism between aerobic and anaerobic germs. The most common aerobes are Enterobacteriaceae, Streptococcus group A, and S. aureus. The predominant anaerobes are Peptostreptococcus spp, Bacteroides fragilis group, Prevotella sp, Porphyromonas spp and Clostridium sp. Streptococcus pneumoniae belongs to the Streptococcaceae family.

Type the correct answer in the box.
The temperature equivalent to 77°F is
°C.
Use the formula to convert the temperature.
Answer:
25 degree celcius
Explanation:
formula
(given degree Fahrenheit - 32)×5÷9
(77 - 32)× 5÷9
= 25°C
Here I will show you how to convert 77 F to C so you know how hot or cold 77 degrees Fahrenheit is in Celsius. The F to C formula is (F − 32) × 5/9 = C. When we enter 77 for F in the formula, we get (77 − 32) × 5/9 = C.
so therefore the answer is 25 degrees celsius

Explain how competition for food can cause natural selection.
Answer:
Competition for food happens when there is a limited amount of food resources available. The members of a species that eat that food who are best adapted to access the food are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes to the next generation.
For example, we have a bird feeder with a narrow opening for food. The small-headed birds can reach the food, the bigger-headed birds cannot. If this was the only food source for this area, then over time, there would be more smaller-headed birds than large-headed birds, due to the competition for food and success/lack of success.
