Population extinction is a natural occurrence, but because the pace of extinction on a global scale is increasing, understanding extinction is crucial for conservation. To evaluate proposed extinction processes, the rate of extinction in experimental populations of brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) was evaluated. As was predicted, the chance of extinction was decreased by a larger initial population, a larger maximum population size supported by the environment, and less change in environmental variables. However, contrary to popular belief, maximum population size and environmental variation were more significant than initial population size. Unexpectedly, the importance of deterministic population oscillations brought on by inborn nonlinear dynamics and overcrowding was equal to or greater than that of the assumed processes.

<h3>What is extinction?</h3>

Extinction happens when species become endangered due to environmental factors such habitat loss, climate change, natural disasters, human overuse, and pollution, or because of evolutionary changes in its constituent parts.

When considering an RBC histogram, what can cause an elevation in the left side of the curve?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Low mean corpuscular value can shift the curve to the left side.

Explanation:

RBC histogram may be defined as the process of plotting the number of blood cells on Y- axis and their relative size on X- axis. Modern automated haematology is used for the construction of RBC histogram.

The cell population of RBCs is similar in size but not equal to the size of RBC the curve can shift to either direction. The low MCV (mean corpuscular value) value can shift the the curve to the left side while considering an RBC histogram.

Why does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have a negative charge
rodikova [14]

In water molecule the electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen are shared, but the sharing is not equal. Oxygen pulls electrons slightly towards itself. Therefore, the electrons are more near the oxygen, making that part of molecule(oxygen part) slightly negative. Since the electrons are not near the hydrogen so, that part of the molecule is slightly positive.

Food contains 1.1 g carbohydrates 13 g protein and 11 g fat how many calories does the food provide
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

‼️‼️‼️155.4 calories‼️‼️‼️

Explanation:

1 gram of fat = 9 calories

1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories

1 gram of protein = 4 calories

11x9 = 99

1.1x4 = 4.4

13x4 = 52

This would get you go this question thus the answer to your question

99 + 4.4 + 52 = 155.4 calories

Which statement is most accurate concerning how photosystem II compares to the electron transport chain (ETC) of mitochondria? I
nordsb [41]

The correct answer is: In both systems, ATP is produced by chemiosmosis.  

Both of the processes, photosynthesis and electron transport chain in mitochondria use chemiosmosis (movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient) to produce energy or ATP (via ATP synthase). The movement of hydrogen ions across the thylakoid membrane in order to galvanize the production of ATP is equal to the movement of those ions across the inner mitochondria membrane. Electrons are accepted by NADPH in photosynthesis (but not FADH2 as in mitochondria).
