When throwing a ball, why does the triceps muscle contract?

A. The contraction of the triceps muscle causes the arm to flex.

B. The contraction of the triceps muscle causes the arm to extend.

C. When added to the force of the biceps contracting, it provides extra force to the ball.

D. The triceps muscle needs to contract in order to keep the muscle from relaxing.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I got it wrong at first, It is B

Answer 2

Tricep muscles are the large muscles present in the upper limbs. The tricep muscles contract when throwing a ball as contraction leads to the extension of the arms. Thus, option B is correct.

What is muscle contraction?

Muscle contraction is the lengthening and shortening of the muscles when performing a certain activity. It is triggered by the action potential generated and traveled along through the nerve cells.

The muscles contract when throwing a ball as it causes the extension and lengthening of the muscles that result in the action allowing the hand muscles to throw the ball.

Therefore the muscle contracts to cause an extension.

creatures such as flatworms. Larger animals like salamanders eat flatworms. Which correctly represents the energy flow described?
A. Fungi - Bacteria - Salamanders - Guano
B. Bats - Guano - Flatworms - Salamanders
C. Salamanders - Fungi - Bacteria - Flatworms
D. Guano - Bacteria - Flatworms - Salamanders

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The correctly represents the energy flow described in the given case is - D. Guano - Bacteria - Flatworms - Salamanders

Energy flow

Energy flow is the movement of energy that is transferred from one trophic level to another trophic level but does not revert back. It is always unidirectional and it follows II nd law of thermodynamics.

In the given food chain, energy is transferred from waste products called guano by a bat which does not involve a bat directly, thus it starts from guano, and energy moves to bacteria and then flatworms and ultimately to the salamanders.

Adapting to Life at Sea: Take a look at this article from Natural History Magazine. Explain the connection between sea snake's diet, the way in which they eliminate nitrogenous waste, and their need for freshwater. Then explain why this makes life (in at least one way) difficult for them in the ocean.

Answers

Answer:

They needs fresh water for drinking purpose.

Explanation:

The Sea snakes favorite food is fish and crustaceans. These sea snakes removes nitrogenous waste in the form of ammonia. They can live in salty water but needs fresh water for drinking purpose. This makes life difficult for sea snakes in the ocean because sea snakes needs fresh water to become hydrated and the sea water is salty which they can't drink so they depends on the rainfall for drinking purpose.

The sea snakes excrete their nitrogenous wastes via cloaca and some of it from the skin.

Sea snake

The snake excretes solid as well as liquid wastes from the cloaca but sometimes the flow of excreta gets disturbed due to change in the osmolarity between the environment and the body. The oceanic water is saline which is responsible for changing the osmolarity.

This is making their survival difficult in the ocean.

What affect do algae blooms have on ocean ecosystems?(1 point) increased underwater plant population decreased carbon dioxide in the water increased fish population decreased oxygen in the water

Answers

An algal bloom affects the whole ecosystem. Consequences range from the benign feeding of higher trophic levels, to more harmful effects like blocking sunlight from reaching other organisms, causing a depletion of oxygen levels in the water, and, depending on the organism, secreting toxins into the water.

Algal blooms damage the ecology. Consequences range from feeding higher trophic levels to blocking sunlight, depleting oxygen, and secreting toxins into the water. Therefore, option (D) is correct.

What is algae blooms?

Algal blooms are fast-growing algae. They dwell in freshwater or marine water systems, and their pigments stain the water. Algae are tiny and macroscopic aquatic photosynthetic organisms. As algal bloom is a fast-growing unicellular microalgae, Kelp forest is a common macroalgae.

When water lacks food, phytoplankton dies. When food is plentiful, plankton cells can develop many flagella and reproduce quickly, beyond the water's capacity to absorb them. As they develop, they settle and form 'red tides'

Algal blooms arise when fertilizer nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus enter aquatic systems. They block sunlight, deplete oxygen in water, secrete harmful substances, etc. These detrimental consequences often deplete aquatic creatures.

Based on the energy flow between trophic levels in an energy pyramid how much energy would be expected to be found at the secondary consumer level in this pyramid

Answers

Answer:

100J of energy is transferred to the secondary consumers

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, energy transfer from one trophic level to another is not usually a 100% transfer of energy. This is because the organisms at each trophic level use energy derived from food substances to carry out its activities.

Only about 10% of the energy obtained at each trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.

This implies that only about 1000J of energy is transferred to the primary consumers and 100J of energy is transferred to the secondary consumers.

The statement 'the process occurs only in multicellular organisms' is TRUE about the process of mitosis (Option D).

Mitosis is a cell division by which a cell produces two genetically identical daughter cells.

Conversely, meiosis produces four cells having half the genetic material.

Mitosis produces somatic (body) cells in multicellular organisms, whereas meiosis produces germinal cells.

In conclusion, the statement 'the process occurs only in multicellular organisms' is TRUE about the process of mitosis (Option D).
