Which statement best describes why the population growth rate slows as population size approaches carrying capacity?
O reproduction increases
O predation rates decrease
evolution of traits decreases
competition for resources increases

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

competition for resources increases

Explanation:

When an ecosystem reaches its carrying capacity, competition for scarce resources become more intense.

The result of this is that species will either begin to die, or migrate away from the ecosystem leading to a decrease in population growth

Claim Evidence Reasoning. Evaluate the following claim: Meiosis is different than Mitosis.

Answers

Answer/Explanation:

Yes, although they have similarities, meiosis and mitosis are different.

Similarities

Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cell division that results in the production of daughter cells.

They go through similar processes of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Differences

However, mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells from a diploid parent cell.

Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells from a diploid parent cell.

There are two rounds of cell division in meiosis, and only one round in mitosis.

Answers

Answer:

hope the answer helped you

Explanation:

absolute age(true age) The age of a geologic phenomenon measured in present Earth years, rather than its age relative to other geologic phenomena (compare relative age)

Relative age is the age of a rock layer (or the fossils it contains) compared to other layers. It can be determined by looking at the position of rock layers. Absolute age is the numeric age of a layer of rocks or fossils. Absolute age can be determined by using radiometric dating.

What is the relationship between biomes and ecosystems???

Please answer soon

Answers

Explanation:

Biome and the ecosystem are the words that are sometimes applied interchangeably to explain a particular kind of environment.

The biome represents the geographical region that has the same kind of ecological atmosphere, climate and mostly consistent collection of the species and it is made of a large number of ecosystems.

An ecosystem represents a particular element of the biome and a species that nearly interact in it.

Thus the biome is the collection of various types of ecosystems.

Off the coast of the Pacific Northwest in the United States, the Pacific plate is being pushed underneath the North American plate in a subduction zone, caused by plate tectonics. As the rock from the Pacific plate is pushed under the North American plate, it is subjected to high temperatures and pressures. Which rock will be created from this process?

Answers

Answer:

Metamorphic rocks

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates collide, it occurs oceanic convergence. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate. As the thicker plate descends, it is heated and melted and its materials are incorporated into the mantle. The fast subduction originates magma. In the western Pacific crust is old and thick, and hence it submerges easier in the mantle.

Metamorphism provokes structural and mineralogic reordering in an original preexisting rock, under the influence of factors such as temperature and pressure, which are two of the most important and influencing ones.

This physic-chemical processes usually occur in deepness, many times related to plates movement and subduction processes. The sharped temperature rising might be caused by magma injection or by a deep placement or the original rock in a subduction zone.

According to the metamorphism processes, there are different kinds of metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks that are the product of subduction event, belong to "regional metamorphism" which includes a huge area, and among this classification, "underground metamorphism" is associated with plates subduction, with a range temperature among 400-600ºC.

Answers

Answer:

Carbon cycle is very important for the plants and animals that are divided into 4 steps and these steps are:

1.The carbon enters the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.Example: respiration and combustion.

2.The carbon dioxide present in the environment is used by the plants and  plants expel oxygen after the process of photosynthesis.

3. Animals present in the environment eat the plants and pass on the carbon in the food chain. They exhale carbon dioxide into the environment.The plants and the animals die after a certain period of time.

4. The body of plants and animals is consumed by decomposes and the carbon is returned into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide else fossils of plants and animals are formed which contains carbon.

B. The first generation will not have short plants. The short trait will return in the second generation.

Explanation:

If T is for Tall and t is for short, then the first generation doesn't have any short offspring. We can rule out answer choices A and D.

The second generation results in TT, Tt, Tt, tt.

TT is a tall Offspring.

Tt is a Tall Offspring, with a small t as a recessive trait.

tt is a short offspring because both the recessive traits (t) are together.

We can rule out option C.

That leaves us with the correct answer being B. The first generation will not have short offspring, but will pass it on to the second generation, which will have a short offspring (25% chance of having short offspring).

pests that damage crops. In the areas where they have been introduced, none of the
predators are immune to the protective toxins the toad produces. What is a probable
outcome from the introduction of the cane toad in the following 10 years?

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The crops will not deplete the soil. The Frog will not lose its toxin because nothing bad comes from that trait. A predator cannot adapt to a toxin in the span of only ten years. The insect population should deplete because the frog should multiply and concur the population of pests since the frog doesn't have any predators.

A student wants to investigate the force of gravity. The student has an apple and a marble. What would be the best way for the student to use these materials? Place the apple on the floor. Roll the marble so it hits the apple. Put both objects on a desk. Push them forward at the same time. Hold both objects at the same height above the floor. Drop them at the same time. Place the marble on a desk. Place the apple next to the marble so the objects touch.

Answers

Answer:

Put both objects on a desk

Explanation:

The best way to use the materials to investigate the force of gravity would be to put both objects on a desk. The force of gravity can thus be obtained by measuring the distance between the objects as well as their masses.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity (F) between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses (m and M) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (d) separating them.

Mathematically,

     F = G [tex]\frac{mM}{d^2}[/tex] where G is a constant.

The information that can be determined from the given formula is the number of atoms of each element in a glucose molecule. The correct option is D.

What is an element?

Any substance that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by ordinary chemical processes is referred to as a chemical element. Elements are the fundamental building blocks of all matter.

An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances through physical or chemical means.

An element is composed of the same type of atoms. Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids are the three types of elements. The symbols for the elements are used to represent them.

Glucose is made up of three elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. 6 carbon atoms bonded together in a chain with oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

The formula for the glucose can be illustrated as [tex]C_6H_1_2O_6[/tex]
