In plant seeds, the photoreceptor phytochrome is responsible for the process termed photomorphogenesis<span>. This occurs when a seed initially situated in an environment of complete darkness is exposed to light. A brief exposure to electromagnetic radiation, particularly that whose wavelength is within the red and far-red lights, results in the activation of the photorecepter phytochrome within the seed. This in turn sends a signal through the signal transduction pathway into the nucleus, and triggers hundreds of genes responsible for growth and development</span>
Neptune's gravitational factor relative to earth is 1.19.
That means we have to multiply 8.5 by 1.19.
8.5 * 1.19
10.115
Answer: 10.115 pounds
The carrying capacity for a species in an ecosystem is primarily determined by the resources in the ecosystem.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The availability of food, raw materials, water and other resources in that ecosystem are those factors that is used for the determination of the carrying capacity. The factors such as nature, the levels of wastage accumulation, removal of very important things from the system also determines the carrying capacity. a system's carrying capacity may involve matters such as available supplies of food, water, raw materials, and/or other similar resources.
The main components that determines the carrying capacity of an ecosystem are food and other resources, provided, the humans must not disturb the ecosystem for their self survival. The resources limitations and their availability determines this factor to a greater extent.
