Answer:
a.) rate of population growth
Explanation:
The population growth rate determines how a population will be distributed in a region. Populations with a high growth rate need to occupy more spaces, in addition to needing to consume a greater volume of natural resources. As the population grows, the distribution in the region becomes more intense, the opposite also happens. When the population growth rate indicates that the population is decreasing it means that this population will need less space and therefore, its geographic distribution will be smaller, as well as its impact on the region.

means lethal dose. LD50 is the amount of a material, administered at once to
cause the death of half (50%) of a group of test organisms. A test which shows that LD50 of a certain
chemical is 20 mg per kg means that 20 milligrams of that chemical for every 1
kilogram body weight of the test animal when administered in one dose, causes
the death of 50% of the test group.</span>
Answer:
A dichotomous key is a tool that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world, such as trees, wildflowers, mammals, reptiles, rocks, and fish.

Explanation:
Answer:
Adverse heart conditions do not occur in isolation. It is usually accompanied by other risk factors, like coronary artery dysfunction, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.
In addition to the above, the following factors are indicative of left-sided heart failure:
- Shortness of breath caused by the collection of fluid in the lungs. Shortness of breath usually becomes pronounced upon physical exertion
- An increase in the girth of the torso (mainly the abdomen) due to ascites which is the buildup of fluid in the abdomen.
- engorged scrotum (in males of course)
Explanation:
Left-Sided Heart Failure is simply the inability of the heart to pump oxygen-rich blood into the body.
Blood filled with oxygen is moved from the lungs to the atrium on the left and then to the left ventricle. The blood is then pumped from the ventricle on the left to other parts of the body by a contracting and relaxing action. Left-sided heart failure can be classified into two:
- Systolic Failure and
- Diastolic Failure
1. Systolic Dysfunction: When the left ventricle can no longer shrink properly, the pressure with which the heart can pump enough blood into circulation is reduced.
2. Diastolic Dysfunction: This occurs when the left ventricle can no longer relax as it ought to due to the hardening of the muscle.
