Elephants are not the most common species in African grasslands. And although they are large, their combine biomass is really not that big compared to some of the combined biomass of plants in those habitats. The grasslands contain scattered woody plants, but they are kept in check by the uprooting activities of the elephants. Take away the elephants, and the grasslands convert to forests or to shrublands. The newly growing forests support fewer species than the previous grasslands. What term best describes the role played by elephants in these communities

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are: a. Keystone species b. Dominant species c. Competitor species d. Omnivore species e. Mutualistic species. The correct answer is a.

Explanation:

The most connected species from a trophic point of view in an ecosystem are keystone species, since their elimination has great effects on the stability and persistence of the network. The Keystone species are those species that play a crucial role in the structure and dynamics of a certain ecosystem and that, in the event of their disappearance, would be seriously unbalanced. These species are responsible for the physical structure of the habitats of many other species, and they play an important role in the succession processes of ecosystems. Elephants play an important role in maintaining the structure and balance of ecosystems in these communities, therefore they are keystone species.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Keystone species.

Explanation:

A species that has huge impact on the other in the case when there is not much abundant species. In addition to this, it would keep the other populations in the ecosystem. Moreover, if the species would be removed so this would lead in diversity loss

So according to the given situation, the role that played by  elephants in these communities is keystone species

Beginning around 1750,the global human population began to grow at much faster then it had in the years before this time.What caused this to change in the population growth rate?

Answers

Answer:

The cartogram is made up of squares, each of which represents half a million people of a country’s population. The 11.5 million Belgians are represented by 23 squares; the 49.5 million Colombians are represented by 99 squares; the 1.415 billion people in China are represented by 2830 squares; and the entire world population of 7.633 billion people in 2018 is represented by the total sum of 15,266 squares. It started in 1798, to the 1800. This period is when the human population began to grow at a faster rate then any other time in history. The answer is 300 years ago.

Explanation : Births - usually measured using the birth rate (number of live births per 1,000 of the population per year). Deaths - usually measured using the death rate (number of deaths per 1,000 of the population per year). Migration - the movement of people in and out of an area.

Cual es el componente gaseoso que faltaba en la atmosfera primitiva y que hoy es escencial para la vida?

Answers

Answer:

El componente gaseoso que faltaba en la atmósfera primitiva y que hoy es esencial para la vida es:

El oxigeno [tex]O_{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Se tiene constancia de que en sus inicios, la atmósfera de la Tierra estaba compuesta por los gases resultantes de las diferentes erupciones volcánicas (ya que la actividad volcánica de dicha era fue demasiado alta), por lo tanto, era normal tener una atmósfera compuesta por azufre, dióxido de carbono, nitrógeno (que hoy en día es más del 70% del aire que respiramos) e incluso agua en estado gaseoso, sin embargo, la presencia del oxígeno [tex]O_{2}[/tex] era sumamente baja, casi inexistente, actualmente su presencia en el aire es de un poco más del 20% y es sumamente importante para diferentes funciones en los seres vivos, incluso los seres vivos acuáticos que se abastecen del oxígeno disuelto en el agua, esta es la razón por la cual, si tienes una pecera con peces en tu casa, debes instalarle un sistema que abastezca de oxígeno constantemente a tu peces mascota.

If only one species is considered the 'fittest', why do we still have so many variation among species?

Answers

Answer:

Variation occurs in species with the genes resulting in the traits and physical characteristics that make it possible for them to be among the fittest for a number of reasons:

1. Mutation

2. Recombination and

3. Migration

Explanation:

Mutations:  A mutation is a deviation from the norm in a DNA sequence. It can be stimulated by errors during the DNA replication process which happens as the cell is dividing, or by exposure to ionizing radiation, chemicals, or viral infection (whether artificial or natural).

It is noteworthy that naturally, without any human intervention, the possibility of a spontaneous mutation is very low.

Recombination: This refers to the creation of new fusion of genes in the offspring that did not occur in the parents by the processes of crossing-over and independent assortment. Independent assortment meaning that the allele the gamete received for one gene was not influenced by the allele received for another gene.

Migration: Variation by migration here refers to the introduction of new genes from into one population by another. This could happen when a new population arrives at an existing one or when an existing one migrates to another population.

We can say for example that, genes from Americans have “migrated” into the population of African origin in America given the continuous immigration of Africans into America.

So in both populations, there are very fit species, but when their genes are mixed during cross-reproduction, variation arises.

An ecosystem that develops from barren rock is known as?

The rebuilding of an ecosystem after a natural disaster
is known as?

Explain why secondary succession is a faster process than primary succession.

Answers

Answer:

Ecological succession happens when new life takes over an environment. ... Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rock exposed by a retreating glacier. The first inhabitants are lichens or plants—those that can survive in such an environment

Ecological restoration aims to recreate, initiate, or accelerate the recovery of an ecosystem that has been disturbed. Disturbances are environmental changes that alter ecosystem structure and function. Common disturbances include logging, damming rivers, intense grazing, hurricanes, floods, and fire

Secondary succession is usually faster than primary succession because soil and nutrients are already present due to 'normalization' by previous pioneer species, and because roots, seeds and other biotic organisms may still be present within the substrate

A)
Forest A has is in an earlier stage of succession and does not have as many

B)
Forest B lacks grasses due to lower light levels at the ground, removing a
species that is toxic to most deer populations.
0)
Forest B lacks the canopy closure required for protection of rodents from
predators, which decreases the rodent populations.

Forest A is at a later stage of succession, allowing for more rodents to

Why is Carbon important?

Answers

Answer:

Carbon is an important constituent of living beings. Along with Nitrogen and oxygen, carbon is one of the essential building blocks of organic life. Carbon forms about 18% of the human body. By organic here I want to stress the fact that it includes every living thing in the world including substances that are produced by living beings. Organic Chemistry, which deals with the study of carbon compounds is a vast repository of information on such compounds. Carbon is integral because of its unique ability to form four different bonds with other elements. This makes it possible for carbon to react with many other elements and form a vast array of compounds.

Hydrocarbons which again is primarily a compound of hydrogen and carbon are the source of all our fossil fuels. ( Fossil Fuels as these fuels are literally formed by fossilized organic matter)

CO2 which again is a carbon compound is responsible for keeping our earth warm and habitable by aiding the greenhouse effect. There are many other such compounds of carbon that are very useful to the earth and living beings.

To conclude carbon in itself is not as essential as its ability to form numerous compounds that are essential for life to exist.

Question 23 (6 points)
Sea Urchins are aquatic mammals that dive down to catch and eat sea urchins. Sea
urchins hunt the sea floor to catch and eat starfish. Starfish feed off of kelp forests
under the sea.
When sea otters overpopulate they clean out the sea urchins very quickly. This
allows the starfish to overpopulate and eat too much of the kelp forests.
Answer the following questions for 2 points each:
1. Name the TWO organisms that act as Carnivores in the ecosystem described
above.
2. Identify the ecological roles of the other TWO organisms.
3. Identify which of the four organisms above would be considered a keystone
species. Explain why.

Answers

Answer: 1. Sea urchins and sea otters

2. They are prey for carnivores.

3. Sea otters, star fish

Explanation:

Sea urchins and sea otters are carnivores as they eat on the flesh of starfish and sea urchins respectively.

Starfish feed on the kelp forests which are the producers in the food chain and the starfish is the primary consumer and prey for sea urchins.  So, starfish and kelp forests are the prey in the marine ecosystem.

Keystone species is the one which controls the population of other inferior species in an ecosystem. Here, sea otters consume sea urchins so the population of sea urchins remained in control Starfish controls the population of kelp forest.

Cancers cells differ from normal cells because they do not stop at checkpoints and they have uncontrolled growth. So, options A and C are correct.

What do you mean by Cancerous cells?

Cancerous cells may be defined as an abnormal cell that doesn't follow the regulations of the cell cycle. They get multiply at a rapid speed.

Normal cells follow a typical cell cycle. They grow, divide and finally die. But cancer cells do not follow the cell cycle, they do not undergo apoptosis, and they continuously multiply at a rapid pace.

Therefore, Cancers cells differ from normal cells because they do not stop at checkpoints and they have uncontrolled growth.
