24. A wolf is a KEYSTONE species. Explain how the wolf indirectly affects the
population numbers of plants.

Answers

Answer 1
Wolves have both direct and indirect effects on their ecosystem; their prey is harmed, their prey is significantly impacted by the species of plants and animals below them, and so on down the chain. This top-down impact cascade occurs alongside bottom-up effects, all within the same ecosystem.

Answer:

C. clearing of ash juniper trees for farmland

Explanation:

Golden-cheeked warblers will be in more danger if "clearing of ash juniper trees for farmland" will increase because juniper trees provide barks to build the nest for Golden-cheeked warblers, if Golden-cheeked warblers will not get enough barks to build the nest, they will not able to reproduce and their population will decrease further.

Answers

One piece of evidence that proves that the universe is expanding is that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. In fact, Hubble discovered that the farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from us. Although scientists today still don’t know the nature of this mysterious energy causing this acceleration, Hubble’s evidence has strengthened many theories about the large-scale structure of the universe.

How do oxbow lakes form? A. It is formed as lakes grow larger due to erosion and begins to look like an ox. B. It is formed when a bend in a river is cut off to form a lake. C. It is formed when a delta grows large enough to cut off a river to form a lake. D. It is formed when a dam stops the flow of a river and creates a lake.

Answers

Answer:

Oxbow lake is formed when a bend in a river is cut off to form a lake.

Explanation:

OPTON A - It is formed as lakes grow larger due to erosion and begins to look like an ox.

This statement is incorrect , as the shape of the oxbow lake is not like an ox , it is a horse-shoe shaped lake .

OPTION B - It is formed when a bend in a river is cut off to form a lake.

This statement is correct , as  An oxbow lake is a U-shaped lake that forms to create a free-standing body of water when a large meander of a river is cut off.

OPTION C - It is formed when a delta grows large enough to cut off a river to form a lake.

This statement is also wrong, as a river delta is specified by this statement.

OPTION D - It is formed when a dam stops the flow of a river and creates a lake.

This statement is also false, since the creation of a reservoir is established by this statement.

FORMATION OF OXBOW LAKE -:The neck of the meander gets narrower and narrower progressively. The curve gradually grows so close that the river slices through the neck of the meander to take a new, straighter path. Sediment locks the end of the old loop over time. This leaves a region of water that is different, called an oxbow lake.

Hence , the correct option is B.

An animal cell with a 30% salt solution is placed in a beaker with a 20% salt
solution. Which is the correct conclusion if the cell remains in the beaker for an
extended period of time?

Answers

Answer:

the animal cell will burst

Explanation:

If the salt solution in the animal cell is 30%, it means the water is at a 70% concentration. Outside is 20%, so the water is 80%.

Water will enter the cell. Water is at a higher concentration outside the cell (80%) or a lower concentration inside the cell (70%) by the process of osmosis.

Eventually, the animal cell will burst, because it does not have any cell wall to control the swelling of the cell that occurs as water flows in.

Answers

Answer:

carbon dioxide + water =glucose +oxygen

Explanation:

hope this helps :)

The overall equation for photosynthesis using words is:

Carbon dioxide + water + sunlight energy → glucose + oxygen

Photosynthesis in plant chloroplasts and photosynthetic microorganisms is a complex metabolic process. Photosynthesis equation: [tex]CO_2 + H_2O + sunlight = glucose (C_6H_{12}O_6) + O_2.[/tex]

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Special pigments like chlorophyll collect sunlight and transform it into chemical energy.

Photosynthesis underpins the food chain and sustains life on Earth. Primary producers, plants synthesise glucose that sustains all other organisms' growth and development. Photosynthesis provides oxygen for respiration and regulates carbon dioxide levels, preserving Earth's atmosphere.

The eggs of a cone bearing plant:

receive sperm through the development of tubes

are held on the sticky fluid of the female cone

receive pollen from the wind

Answers

Answer:

Receive pollen from the wind.

Explanation:

The sperm of the male cone floats through the air and lands on the scale of the female cone. Sperm cells move through the pollen tube of the female cone and one of them fertilized an egg cell which eventually turns into a seed.

Answer:

The eggs of a cone bearing plant receive sperm through the development of tubes.

Explanation:

Cone-bearing plants have two types of cones: female cones and male cones. Reproduction begins when one of the pollen grains from inside a pollen sac on the male cone floats through the air to the scale of a female cone. A pollen tube then grows from the pollen grain toward the female ovule. Sperm cells move through the pollen tube and one of them fertilizes an egg cell, which then develops into a seed. The winged seed floats to the ground and begins to germinate. As the top of the seedling reaches for light, the hypocotyl straightens and the cotyledons spread out.

Using information from the diagram, state one reason why the movement in the third image represents active transport

Answers

Answer:

A protein or ion has passed through the "pump" or carrier proteins and move within the cell.

Nvm short and sweet ;)

Further info..

To move substances against a concentration or an electrochemical gradient, the cell must use energy. This energy is harvested from ATP that is generated through cellular metabolism. Active transport mechanisms, collectively called pumps or carrier proteins, work against electrochemical gradients. With the exception of ions, small substances constantly pass through plasma membranes. Active transport maintains concentrations of ions and other substances needed by living cells in the face of these passive changes. Much of a cell’s supply of metabolic energy may be spent maintaining these processes. Because active transport mechanisms depend on cellular metabolism for energy, they are sensitive to many metabolic poisons that interfere with the supply of ATP.

A company wants to build a new store. After reviewing the piece of land it is determined that a threatened woodpecker nests in that area .If the company is granted permission to build , what is the most environmentally responsible action by the company

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

If the piece of land is forested or covered with many trees, the company can decide not to bring down all the trees (leaving some trees standing) and move as many as possible nests to the available trees within it's land. This will prevent emigration of the woodpeckers and can ultimately help conserve the woodpeckers in that land and indeed the area in which the land is situated.

This is most environmentally friendly because killing or scaring away of the birds by destroying there homes could lead to imbalance in the environment and even cause gradual extinction of the birds in the environment/area.

With the boost in warmer weather and excess water, populations will boom

Explanation:

Yabbies will do best at a water temperature of between 12°C and 20°C but they will tolerate water that is a little colder or warmer. Complete immersion in water is not essential for life for the yabby. If its gills are kept moist (humid air is sufficient), it can absorb oxygen from the air and survive for many days out of water. To breed, however, it must be in water. With the water needed for breading and warmer weather used for breeding, population numbers for the Yabbies should rise.

4) How many milligrams are in 1,455 grams?
1,455,000 mg
145,000 mg
1,450 mg
1.45 mg
O
145 mg

Answers

1455000 ( you just multiply the mass value by 1000)

Grams can be converted into milligrams by multiplying the amount in grams by 1000. Therefore, 1455 grams will be equivalent to 1,455,000 mg. Thus, the correct option is A.

The conversion of metric units from one unit to another can be done by multiplication or division by powers of 10. If the unit is to be converted into a bigger unit, it has to be divided, whereas if the unit is to be converted into a smaller unit, it has to be multiplied.

Thus, the conversion of gram to milligram is conversion of a unit into a smaller unit and the amount, therefore, has to be multiplied.

There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram. Therefore, 1,455 grams will have 1000 × 1,455 = 1,455,000 milligrams.
