Imagine that a clam accumulates one unit of mercury in its body from the water it lives in. How many units of mercury would a stingray accumulate if it eats 50 clams a day for 10 years, assuming no mercury is lost between the clams and stingray?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

182,500 units.

Explanation:

The answer would be 182,500 units of mercury.

Assuming there is an average of 365 days in a years, 10 years is therefore equal to:

10 x 365 = 3650 days.

The stingray eats 50 clams per day. Hence, the total number of clams that would have been eaten in 10 years equals:

3650 x 50 = 182,500 clams

Each clam accumulated 1 unit of mercury in its body from the water it lives in and there is no loss of mercury between the clam and the stingray. Hence, the total number of units of mercury the stingray would have accumulated in 10 years equals:

182,500 clams x 1 unit = 182,500 units of mercury.

breathing mechanism of fish

Answers

Answer:

Breathing Mechanism of Fish. Fish have gills which help them breathe oxygen directly from water without any need to surface. The fish takes water through its mouth, pushing it over the gills and back out through the gill slits. The oxygen enters the blood vessels after being filtered by the gills.

Explanation:

Fish have Gills

Answer:

Fish breathe with the aid of gills.

Explanation:

They take the water rich in oxygen through their mouth and pump it over their gills.

So if the Moon's shadow is falling on the Earth during a solar eclipse, what phase of the moon must it be? (The moon is between the Earth and Sun.)

Answers

Answer:

New moon

Explanation:

A solar eclipse can only occur during New Moon (when the entire moon is covered in darkness and not visible from the earth's surface.) A total solar eclipse can be seen within the moon's dark inner shadow (called the umbra.) A partial solar eclipse can be observed within the earth's lighter outer shadow (called the penumbra).

B. The predators keep prey populations balanced.
C. The predators decrease biodiversity
D. The predators stop species from competing,

Answers

Answer: B

Explanation:

The predators keep prey populations balanced. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What are predators?

The presence of predators in an ecosystem helps to keep the population of prey species balanced. If the predators were absent, the prey populations could grow unchecked, leading to overconsumption of resources and potentially damaging effects on the ecosystem.

By keeping the prey populations in check, the predators help to prevent such imbalances, contributing to the overall stability and health of the ecosystem.

Predators also tend to prey on the weaker and less fit members of a population, which in turn helps to strengthen the gene pool of the prey species over time. This balance of predator and prey populations is an essential component of a healthy and stable ecosystem.

Biological organization refers to a hierarchy starts from simplest biological structure to complex biological structures that define life, such as from atoms to biosphere.

So, biome is the community of animals and plants having common characteristics according to the environment; species is also a group of living organism sharing similar genes; ecosystem include different groups with the physical (abiotic) environment and organism is the basic living system,that include at least one cell.

What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)

Answers

Answer:

1. Greenhouse gases are compounds that are able to trap heat in the atmosphere, keeping the Earth's surface warmer than it would be if they were not present. These gases are mainly carbon dioxide; metahne, nitrous oxide, and flourinated gases.

2. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere from animals and plants through the process of respiration and the burning of fossil fuels from industries.

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon, which, helps maintain the relatively stable, livable, range of temperatures that we find on earth. To better understand how this phenomenon works, scientists have used the analogy of the greenhouse. In a greenhouse, the glass (the atmosphere) allows the radiant energy (light) of the sun to enter. As the radiant energy strikes various plants, gases, and objects in the greenhouse, they heat up. Their heat is then released back into the air of the greenhouse as infrared radiation (heat). This infrared radiation cannot travel through the glass and remains inside the greenhouse, increasing the temperature inside the greenhouse. Temperatures can be controlled, or kept in balance, by allowing some of the heat to remain inside and some to be vented to the outside. Under normal conditions, the earth's atmosphere works in a similar manner. Solar radiation enters the atmosphere and heats up the air molecules, the surface of the earth, buildings, plants, and other objects. These objects in turn, radiate infrared radiation back out into the atmosphere, where some of this radiation is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, and some is radiated out into space. As some of the heat stays in the atmosphere and some escapes into spaces, a balance is maintained allowing our planet to have a relatively stable range of temperatures. Scientists believe that as the greenhouse gases become more abundant in the atmosphere, due mainly to the burning of fossil fuels, they retain more and more infrared radiation, allowing less and less to escape into space, tipping the balance toward heating up the atmosphere, resulting in a changing and warmer climate, planet-wide. This is the accelerated greenhouse effect.

You have sampled a population in which you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 25%. Calculate the frequency of the "A" allele. *
1 point
0.5
0.4
0.25
0.6

Answers

Answer:

.5

Explanation:

Remember that p = dominant allele, q = recessive allele. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equations:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1      (AA + Aa + aa = 1)

So aa = q^2. Take the square root, and we'll have just q by itself.

√a^2 = √.25 = .5

So the frequency of the a allele (recessive) = .5.

p + q = 1

p + .5 = 1

p = .5

The frequency of the A allele is .5.

It has often been said that the next dominant animals on land, after a hypothetical demise of all mammals, would be the insects. Why so?

Answers

Explanation:

The animals that dominate the Earth today are the human species or Homo sapiens. Many factors have allowed the species to dominate the Earth-like use of new tools, vocal cords, and an increased sense of intellect and natural intelligence. But today we can observe the social wars, epidemic, and harm to our planet which could result in the extinction of humans.  

The scientist has hypothesized that after the Homo sapiens, new dominating species will be insects as this group of the organism has:

1. Survived many mass extinctions.

2. are highly adaptable to extreme conditions.

3. Has evolved many adaptive features to protect itself from prey like a tough exoskeleton, few to many legs, bombarding in few species when someone tries to eat it, and many others.
