Answer:

According to MacArthur and Wilson's theory of island biogeography, both the land area of an island and the distance from the mainland or continent contribute to species diversity

Explanation:

The ecologists MacArthur and Wilson took the term island biogeography theory to refer to the predictions about the number of species that could be inhabiting on an island.  

Island biogeography theory establishes that the two factors that affect species richness in natural communities on an island are the distance from the mainland and the size of the island.  

At the same time, these factors affect inmigration and extinction rates. According to the theory, islands that are closer to the continent have higher possibilities of receiving immigrants than those islands that are located farther from the mainland. This is the effect of distance.  

The effect of size is reflected in the relation between island size and species diversity.  In smaller islands, the probability of extinction is higher than in bigger islands. Bigger islands can have more species than smaller ones.      

In the case of two islands of the same size and different distance to the mainland, both of them will have the same extinction rate, but the one closer to the continent will have a higher immigration rate, and so, a higher amount of species. The S value will be higher on the island closer to the continent.

Answer:

The correct answer is : cardiac tamponade.

Explanation:

Cardiac tamponade is a medical condition in which heart has extreme compression or pressure due to the fluid or blood filled in the sac surrounding the heart and prevent the heart to fill properly.

IN other words it is case of extreme pressure on heart due to the fluids like blood collect inside the space present between the pericardial sac that leads ti inadequate filing of heart chambers.

It is caused by mainly by chest trauma, cancer, and chest related underlying disease or trauma.

Thus, the correct answer is : cardiac tamponade.

Answer:

protect the cell from invading phages

Explanation:

The natural role of the restriction enzymes is to protect the cell from invading phages.

The restriction enzyme is an enzyme that functions by cutting DNAs from some pre-identified sites on the DNA. They are primarily found in bacteria where they protect the cell from invasion by foreign DNA from phages.

Once a phage invades a bacterium, the restriction enzyme quickly acts by cutting the phage's DNA into smaller pieces, leading to the destruction of the DNA and hence, the protection of the bacterium cell.

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's a comet!

Explanation:

A comet's nucleus is like a snowball made of ice. As the comet nears the Sun, the ice starts to melt off, along with particles of dust. These particles and gases make a cloud around the nucleus, called a coma. A comet's nucleus, or heart, is the solid chunk of something in the center of its fuzzy coma.

Most comets have two tails. ... Because the comet dust particles are so small, they are pushed away from the Sun into a long tail. Another tail is made of electrically charged molecules of gas (called ions). Very rarely a comet will have a third tail made of sodium, which we usually don't see with our unaided eyes.

Very sorry if this is incorrect, I hope this helps!

Answer:

A) ADH secretion decreases. B) Urine osmolarity decreases.

Explanation:

Antidiuretic Hormone or ADH is responsible for the reabsorption of water through the kidneys.

A) Drinking alcoholic and/or caffeinated beverages decreases the release and effect of ADH so the water does not get absorbed as much as it should, which in turn results in more urination.

B) Osmolarity is a term used to express the concentration of a solution in terms of a certain particle. Since less ADH secretion results in more water being in the urine, this lowers the concentration of the urine. So urine osmolarity would be decreased.

I hope this answer helps.

Explanation:

Answer:

Aldosterone.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is a hormone that regulates the levels of sodium and potassium in our body, which leads to regulate our fluid levels.

In order to increase the fluids in our system, aldosterone causes the absorption of sodium from our kidneys. The kidneys are the place where our body filters the blood absorbing what it needs, such as sodium, and excreting the rest as urine. With the entering of sodium to our bloodstream, water also enters, increasing the volume of blood in our body.

Aldosterone is also responsible for the excretion of potassium into the urine, controlling the levels of this ion, which is extremely important for a high number of reactions.

The score from the tests

Explanation:

We are learning about variables used within an experiment

We have two variables here -

Independent Variable

Dependent Variable

The question asks "What is the dependent variable in this experiment?"

First off, what is a dependent variable?

Dependent variable - The result or outcome that is being measured

So, if that is the definition, what part of "I want to design an experiment to see if drinking coffee makes students score higher on tests." is the dependent variable?

Well, clearly the outcome that we are looking out for is the score of the tests. Caffeine is being used to see if it makes students score higher on tests, making the test scores the outcome. Making it the dependent variable.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

TB is an infection of the lungs,where the alveolar are attacked by bacteria ( Mycobacterium tuberculosis)leading to cough, with blood stained sputum,chest pain etc.

This   Vertebral Column is the common site of T.B .It usually spread  through the blood (arterial or venous routes)to the bones ,joints and other other organs in the body.

Generally,TB affects majorly the lungs,where is is called pulmonary TB.Therefore when it spreads to other part od the body it is called extrapulmonary TB.

Specifically, the lower thoracic vertebrae and upper lumbar are the major sites. This condition is called Spinal Tuberculosis,and its major signs is pain sensations at the spine locations described above.

Its symptoms include pain at the spine, stiffness of the vertebra , some degree of deformities

Scientific models are used to explain and predict the behaviour of real objects or systems and are used in a variety of scientific disciplines, ranging from physics and chemistry to ecology and the Earth sciences.

In a range of scientific disciplines, from physics and chemistry to ecology and the Earth sciences, scientific models are employed to explain and forecast the behavior of real things or systems. The correct options are a and b.

The reduced visual representations of the intricately analyzed natural systems are known as scientific models.

Scientific models, which can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional, are crucial to scientific study because they allow researchers to demonstrate the viability of their hypotheses and determine whether they can be supported or refuted.

In order to help the public understand complex models, scientists utilize scientific models to convey them to them in simple terms.

To learn about animals, we use models of that animal or its body parts. Scientific models are used to learn scientific things that can be possible to learn in real-life objects.

Therefore, the correct options are a. Scientific models are employed to explain. b. Forecast the behavior of real things or systems.

Answer:

An independent variable

Explanation:

An experiment consists of two variables viz: independent and dependent variable. Independent variable is the variable that the experimenter controls in order to influence or effect a change in the measurable variable called dependent variable. As the name suggests, the dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable.

For example, a scientist is trying to conduct an experiment on how the caffeine level in different types of drink affects the time of sleep in individuals. The independent variable in this experiment is the TYPE OF DRINKS because it is the variable controlled by the experimenter in order to influence the time of sleep (measurable outcome).

Answer:

Independent variable: Adding/not adding soil.

Dependent variables: Does the plant grow? Amount of leaves, plant length.

Controlled variables: Type of plant used, amount of sunlight received, pot used for plant, amount of water given, temperature of soil, etc.

Explanation:

Independent variable: The thing that you want to change. To see if plants need soil to grow, you would need to either add or remove soil altogether.

Dependent variables: The thing that is being measured. By adding your independent variable, you should be able to answer certain questions.

Controlled variables: Things you want to keep the same for each experimental group. For example, if you used different plants, your results could be affected negatively as some plants might rely on soil less than others/grow at a slower or faster pace.
