Your friend comes to you with a problem. It seems his shrimp boats aren't catching nearly as much shrimp as they used to. He can't understand why because he used to catch all the shrimp he could handle. Each year he added a new boat, and for a long time each boat caught tons of shrimp. As he added more boats, there came a time when each boat caught somewhat fewer shrimp, and now, each boat is catching a lot less shrimp. Which of the following topics might help your friend understand the source of his problem?
A) density-dependent population regulation and intrinsic characteristics of population growth
B) exponential growth curves and unlimited environmental resources
C) density-independent population regulation and chance occurrence
D) pollution effects of a natural environment and learned shrimp behavior
E) a K-selected population switching to an r-selected population

Answers

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Density-dependent population regulation an intrinsic characteristic of population growth.

Explanation

Density-dependent population regulation includes factors such as diseases, predation, or competence that limit the growth of a population depending on the size of it (density). In the case presented, predation is the factor that affects the shrimp population because more boats and more shrimp imply more predation from humans. Additionally, this excessive predation limits the growth of the shrimp population and causes the depletion of shrimp over time. According to the above, the correct answer is A. Density-dependent population regulation an intrinsic characteristic of population growth.

Answer:

Explanation:

Los cloroplastos son los orgánulos celulares que en los organismos eucariotas fotosintetizadores se van ocupando de la fotosíntesis. Están limitados por una envoltura formada por las dos membranas concéntricas y contienen muchas vesículas, los tilacoides, donde se encuentran organizados los pigmentos y demás moléculas que convierten la energía lumínica en energía química, como la clorofila.

El término cloroplastos sirve alternativamente para designar a cualquier plasto dedicado a la fotosíntesis, o específicamente a los plastos verdes propios de las algas verdes y las plantas. Aunque el reciente descubrimiento adiciona a más individuos en la lista, como lo es en el caso de Elysia chlorotica, que al digerir al alga Vaucheria litorea, adquiere los cloroplastos a sus tejidos, y gracias a esto, puede realizar la fotosíntesis.

Why are proteins so small but so important to living organisms .

Answers

Explanation: because carry out all the functions in the human body necessary for living. Proteins make up hormones that are required for living. Insulin - responsible for stabilising blood sugar. Haemoglobin - responsible for carrying oxygen around the body. Melatonin - responsible for helping us get to sleep. Adrenalin - responsible for the flight-fight-freeze response. There are many more but here are just a few.

Answer:

Protein is a nutrient your body needs to grow, as well as to support and maintain your life. ... For example, proteins help cells develop and communicate, act as enzymes and hormones, conduct the transport of nutrients throughout your bloodstream and repair damaged tissue. In other words, you can't live without protein.

Explanation:

1. Pioneer species in succession refers to species that first colonize a barren land or rock. They include species that can adapt to the condition of the land and subsequently break it down for other organisms to grow. Pioneer species in primary succession include ferns, lichens etc.

2. Primary succession occurs as a result of effects or negative impacts on an area. Specifically, primary succession in an area of Alberta today occurs because of the effects of GLACIATION, which is the covering of land surface with ice.

3. The appearance of a particular organism such as pioneer species in an aquatic succession can be an indicator of primary succession.

4. * Humus is an organic component of soil that is produced from decomposed organisms.

* Primary succession is the process of changing an environment from bare rock and a few species to a complex community with many species.

* Pioneer species are simple and hardy plants that first colonize a barren ground or rock.

* Climax community is a stable community that results from the process of succession.

Fossil A is found closer to the surface compared to Fossil B. Which of the following conclusions can be made based on this
statement? (1 point)
Fossil B is most likely older than Fossil A.
O The species of Fossil A existed at the same time as the species of Fossil B.
The species of Fossil A evolved from the species of Fossil B.
O Fossil A is from an older species than Fossil B.

Answers

Answer:

Fossil B is most likely older than Fossil A

Explanation:

Fossil B was found deeper in the ground than Fossil A.

If I drop a bone in soil, over time it will settle deeper and deeper down in the earth's surface.

The species of Fossil A is could not have evolved from Fossil B because evolution is not real. The fossil record shows absolutely 0 evidence of evolution over time. All organisms did not come from one cell, they were created individually. If evolution was real wouldn't we see change in humans over time? Wouldn't we see new species popping up everywhere we look? Just because species look the same does not mean that they evolved from one another. For example, if you were creating 10 different species of animals for yourself, and you had a plan that they would all have a pair of eyes and be able to see, wouldn't you put eyes in all of your creations?

Fossil A could not be older than Fossil B because it has settled for a shorter period of time, and is higher up to the surface.

If the two species existed at the same time, they would be at equal heights in the soil.

This leaves only Fossil B to be older than Fossil A which would explain settling over time causes the older fossil to be deeper in the earth.

Answers

Answer:

4. digestive (mucous) epithelium

1. lamina propria

6. muscularis mucosae

3. submucosa

2. muscularis externa

5. serosa

Explanation:

The first layer of the digestive tract, starting from the lumen, is the epithelium. This has different characteristics depending on the digestive tract section. Then there is a loose connective tissue called lamina propria. Next, there is a layer of muscle called muscularis mucosae. It is only present in the digestive mucosae. The next layer is the submucosa, which has dense connective tissue and the submucosal plexus. Then it follows the muscular externa, which has muscle, and it is in all the digestive tract except for the esophagus and stomach. Lastly, we have the serosa layer.

The colder and saltier the ocean water, the denser it is. The greater the density differences between different layers in the water column, the greater the mixing and circulation.
