Answer:

If the earthworm's skin dries then they will not breath properly because moisture help them out to ease the diffusion of oxygen through its skin.

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the required hypothesis, the best describing one considering the question "How is earthworm behavior affected by external stimuli?", would be:

If the earthworm's skin dries then they will not breath properly because moisture help them out to ease the diffusion of oxygen through its skin.

In this case, we are specifying a possible condition, this is "the earthworm's skin dries" which is a cause of an external stimuli (dryness). Next, we propose an effect, this is "they will not breath properly", that is caused by the initial part. Finally, we explain the effect via the cause "moisture help them out to ease the diffusion of oxygen through its skin" because is something testable via the subsequent experiments when considering the scientific method.

Best regards.

sorry about the late response...

<u>If an earthworm is exposed to dry conditions, then it will retreat to a moist place because its skin needs to stay moist for the earthworm to survive.</u>

Procedure

Let N₀ be the amount of carbon-14 present in a living organism. According to the radioactive decay law, the number of carbon-14 atoms, N, left in a dead tissue sample after a certain time, t, is given by the exponential equation:

N = N₀e^(-λt)

where λ is the decay constant which is related to half-life (T1/2) by the equation:

$\lambda=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

Here, ln(2) is the natural logarithm of 2.

The percent of carbon-14 remaining after time t is given by N/N₀.

Using the first equation, we can determine λt.

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,720 years, thus, we can calculate λ using the second equation, and then find t.

$\lambda=\frac{ln(2)}{5720}=1.211\times10^{-4}$

Solving the second equation for t, and using the λ we have just calculated we will have

t= 7665 years

Why does secondary succession usually occur more rapidly than primary succession.

trapecia [35]

Secondary succession occurs more rapidly than primary because soil is already available so there is no need for any other species. Also, there might still be surviving species in the soil present like seeds, roots and other plant organs.

Answer:

if you mutliply 8x2 it would be 16 and half of 16 is 8 and if you multiply that by 2 you get 16 again and then if you multiply that by 2 it comes out to 32 then devide that by 2 and you get 16 then divide again and you get 8
