The atlantic cod (gadus callarias) is a fish which lays about 5 000 000 eggs in its lifetime. On average, only two of these eggs survive to become adult cod. This promote evolution because the environment selects the most evolved animals to survive that environment.

<h3>What is the evolutionary process?</h3>

Evolutionary processes aim, therefore, to generate greater adaptation of species in an environment. When new species of organisms are formed from gradual changes in preexisting species.

So although there are several eggs initially only those that survived the environment are able and evolved to reproduce, so the evolution of species is carried out.

What is a qualitative observation
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Qualitative observation is an observation in which the apperance of something is described using descriptive language

Explanation:

Qualitative observation is done to test the quality or purity of a substance being examined.

          Qualitative observation is based on nonnumerical information.Qualitative analysis helps us to study whether a particular functional group,ion or atom is present or absent in a given sample.

PLEASE HELP SOON! a bacteria that normally lives in the mouth moves to the stomach. is it likely to cause an infection? explain.
Oxana [17]

Answer: Actually, If it used to live in your mouth and it goes into your stomach, it will die because of your stomach acid. if it it causes an infection (which it shouldn't), you might want to ask your doctor.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

the maximum population size that a particular environment can support.

Explanation:

A population can be defined as the total number of living organisms living together in a particular place and sharing certain characteristics in common.

Generally, these populations may be divided into a fraction of the population (subpopulation) based on certain factors and reasons.

Population regulation can be defined as a biological process that balances limiting factors affecting the growth of a population based on density. The factors that regulate the growth of a population are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;

I. Density-independent factors.

II. Density-dependent factors.

Density-dependent are regulating factors such as predation, diseases, and competition that affect the size of the population of living organisms through decreasing or increasing mortality and birth rate.

Furthermore, density-independent factors do not have an increasingly greater effect as a population's density increases. Thus, its effect are reduced as a population's density increases in size.

Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that a particular environment can support. The carrying capacity of an environment is denoted by the letter k.

Last week I was assigned a thematic. We have groups of three but the people I was assigned with haven't been in school for days.

Hello,

Please find below a short summary on the subject you have been assigned. This will help you in completing your project and also give you an overview on the current research on this subject.

Food additives are chemical substances added to food in order to either maintain or improve its physical characteristics such as taste, texture, appearance and even freshness.

The long term effects that these substances have on the human body are still largely unstudied. According to the hypothesis called "chemical obesogen", these synthetic compounds are contributing factors to the global obesity epidemic.

Although evidence-based scientific research is still lacking, the support for this hypothesis is growing as many of these additives have been found to disturb the body's endocrine functions.

Furthermore, artificial preservatives used today may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. This has been shown by a study on mice in which the food additives known as emulsifiers (carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate-80) have been shown to affect the animal's health.

Due to these chemicals, the mice not only became obese but also developed metabolic problems such as glucose intolerance.  It seems that these chemicals affect the gut bacteria population in a negative way, as mice lacking gut bacteria did not become ill.

The mice study was followed by another study in which the human simulated through a series of flasks. Under the influence of the emulsifiers arboxymethylcellulose (E566 on EU labels) and polysorbate-80 (E433), the levels of bacterial protein called flagellin increased. This protein is known to cause inflammation at high concentrations. The next step in the study will be the first human trials.

Due to the long road our food takes from the farm to our table more extensive research is required. There are thousands of compounds that change the biochemical properties of the plants and animals that constitute our diet. The effects of the degradation and accumulation of these compounds are still unknown and thus many more studies and approaches are required in order to insure healthy food and stop the current obesity epidemic. Everything that is added to our food should be carefully analyzed.
