Which of the following statements is false? which of the following statements is false? a. vitamin a supplements can sometimes cure nyctalopia because vitamin a can be converted into retinal. b. nyctalopia affects vision in the fovea centralis, resulting in impaired vision. c. retinitis pigmentosa is a disorder in which the discs released from rods are not properly phagocytized. d. all of the listed responses are false.

Correct option is (B). Nyctalopia affects vision in the fovea centralis, resulting in impaired vision.

Explanation:

Nyctalopia which is also known as night blindness, in this condition it's difficult to see in relatively low light. It can cause by two types one is from birth, and another is injury or vitamin A deficiency which is also called as malnutrition.

It is caused by the loss of normal rod function in retina, and loss their ability to response in the light. The outer part of retina is made up of more rods compare to cones, loss of peripheral area repeatedly results in night blindness.

the answer is tropical areas. the tropical areas obtain more

radiant energy from the sun than they lose to space through terrestrial

radiation, and vice versa for polar areas. earth has an energy remaining in the

tropics and an energy scarcity for the polar areas.

explanation:

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.
