Lichens that colonize bare rocks are an example of a pioneer
species. In which environment would a pioneer species of lichen
be most successful?

Select one:
A:a grassland that has established itself on the site of an old farm

B:an old growth deciduous forest

C:a hillside that has been cleared by a volcanic eruption

D:a mountain meadow after a thunderstorm

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. A hillside that has been cleared by a volcanic eruption.

Explanation:

Pioneer species are hardy species which are the first to colonize barren environments or previously biodiverse steady-state ecosystems that have been disrupted, such as by fire or other natural disasters. Some lichens grow on rocks without soil, so may be among the first of life forms, and break down the rocks into soil for plants.

Hope this helps!

What is the bite force of a lion, compared to a chihuahua. Your time started when you started reading this.

Answers

Answer:

Chihuahua bite force in pounds is 3,900 (psi) pounds per square inch. The bite force of a lion is around 600 PSI. To say that a Chihuahua can bite at more than 6 times the strength of a lion is absolutely ridiculous. At first I thought the opposite.

Answer:

A Chihuahua can bite 6 times PSI a lion can. A lion can bite roughly 650 PSI, the small dog's bite is around 3900.

Explain how manganese and iron ores commonly form.

Answers

Answer:

The iron ore deposits began forming when the first organisms capable of photosynthesis began releasing oxygen into the waters. This oxygen immediately combined with the abundant dissolved iron to produce hematite or magnetite. ... Steel Mill: Most iron ore is used to make steel.

The metal is obtained by reducing the oxide with sodium, magnesium or aluminium, or by the electrolysis of manganese sulfate. Manganese nodules have been found on the floor of the oceans. These nodules contain about 24% manganese, along with smaller amounts of many other elements.

2. Why does that happen for that population that has a helpful phenotype?

3. How does this mutation continue to exist in a population?

Answers

Answer:

1. The population will increase as they're better adapted to their environment and have a higher survival rate due to this helpful phenotype.

2. This happens to the population because this helpful phenotype might lead to less exposure to predation in which leads to a better survival fitness for the organism.

3. This mutation continues to exist as the organisms continue to successfully reproduce into the population due to being able to survive for longer.

What is ecosystem?

Ecosytem is defined as a community that is biological by nature and the organism in that community attract with each other as well as their physical environment. Ecosystem is consist of both biotic as well as abiotic factor. The living components of ecosystem comes in category of biotic factor and non living components of ecosystem comes in category of abiotic factor.

Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life living in a particular area like the varity of animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms like bacteria and virus that plays a major role in framing of natural world usually three levels of biodiversity are observed and these are genetic species, and ecosystem diversity.

Biodiversity is very important for the process that's support all life present on earth including human.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Adult body symmetry

The embryological formation of body cavities

Gene sequences

The number of tissue layers

Explanation:

Scientists and taxonomists use different criteria to assign different animals to particular phyla. The various systematic criteria that are used more frequently by systematists are as follows:

1. Adult body symmetry

Body symmetry is one of the criteria used to assign an organism or animal to a particular phylum. There is two symmetry found in animals radial and bilateral.  If any plane passes through the middle axis and divides into two identical segments called radial symmetry and Bilateral symmetry is where only a single plane divides the body into halves. However, there are many animals that do not have any symmetry and called assymetrical.

2. The embryological formation of body cavities

Other than layers body cavities also helps in assigning the animals that depend on coelom -  body cavity between the body wall and gut wall

Animals could be - coelomate(coelom present), pseudocoelomate -(not lined with mesoderm) and acoelomate(coelom absent).

Gene sequences

Genetic similarities also consider and how close an organism to their organism of the phylum or species.

 The number of tissue layers

Different body parts, tissues, muscles, and organs developed from the different cell layers that are formed during embryo, therefore, called embryonic layers.

Animals on the basis of these embryonic layers could be diploblastic or triploblastic. Diploblastic animals form 2 embryonic layers the outer and inner layers called the ectoderm and the endoderm respectively. Triploblastic animals have an extra middle layer known mesoderm.

Charles Keeling's work at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Mauna Loa Observatory
paved the way to understanding how human activities can lead to global warming.
Which greenhouse gas did Charles Keeling measure at the observatory?
A)
carbon monoxide
B)
methane
C)
nitrous oxide
D)
carbon dioxide

Answers

Answer:

D) carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas which is known to absorb heat that would otherwise be lost to space. It has been shown that CO2 causes approximately 80% of global warming. Different human activities, but especially the burning of fossil fuels, are the main cause of global warming. It has been estimated that 40 billion metric tons of CO2 produced by human activities are being discharged into the atmosphere annually. Other human activities associated with global warming by increasing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere include deforestation and cement production.
