Maintain population numbers close to the habitat carrying capacity are called _______ species

Biology
1 answer:
marishachu [46]2 years ago
3 0

Animal species that exhibit long gestation periods, give birth to relatively large offspring, and maintain population numbers close to the habitat carrying capacity are called K-selected species.

In nature, a given habitat contains sufficient resources such as food, water, etc. to support a maximum possible number of biological species, beyond which no further growth is possible. It is termed as nature's carrying capacity for that species in the habitat.

MacArthur and Wilson proposed that there are two life-history strategies i.e. K-selected and r-selected. K-selected species exhibit a proportionately stable population that gives rise to a low number of offspring which tend to be very large. For example the African elephant is included among K-selected species.

How would you describe the effect of a 1°C increase of temperature on the biodiversity of the habitat in terms of number of popu
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Population of some organisms increases and some decreases with the increase in temperature.

Explanation:

The population of certain species such as Nassuar grouper, Spotlight parrotfish and Queen angelfish increases with the increase in temperature while some species such as yellow tail snapper, sponges and algae decreased in population with the increases in temperature. This is because some species needs high temperature so increase in temperature increases the population while some species needs low temperature so high temperature kill them and population is decreased.

During the day, plants produce
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

During the day, plants produce (oxygen) by splitting water molecules in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. At the same time, plants use cellular respiration to produce some of the (carbon dioxide) needed by the light-independent reactions to make sugars. During the night, plants produce (carbon dioxide, but not oxygen) because (only cellular respiration) takes place.

Explanation:

I will try to explain you, why is this the correct answer. During the night, there is only cellular respiration. Let me give you equation to understand the concept better. The equation of cellular respiration is: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ + 6H₂O -> 6CO₂ + 12H₂O + ATP (energy) .. During the cellular respiration, the organism is making carbon dioxide, water and energy from glucose and oxygen. The plants are using oxygen during the night and making carbon dioxide.

I hope I helped you. I will be really happy, If you mark my question as brainliest.

Sometimes a mutation is beneficial to an organism’s fitness and can be passed on to offspring. What is likely to happen to the m
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The mutation will become more common in offspring and increase the genetic variability in the gene pool.

Explanation:

If the mutation is beneficial to the organism and this organism breeds its offspring may carry this gene, if it´s really beneficial and for example makes an organism to have more access to females the mutation may spread faster.

The only way for a mutation to spread to other organisms is reproduction (eukaryotes)

A mutation may also spread to other organisms in prokaryotes in which bacteria may take plasmids (DNA fragments) from the environment.
