Engage/Daily Bellringer - The graph provided shows the population of an organism
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

carrying capacity

Explanation:

<em>The leveling off is an indication of the carrying capacity of the environment.</em>

<u>By definition, the carrying capacity of an environment is the total number of organism of particular species that an environment can support given the resources it has.</u>

When a particular species of organism is introduced into a new environment, it first of all spend some time trying to adjust to this new environment and this time is characterized by little population growth.

After successfully adjusting and getting acclimatized to the new environment, the population of the organism experiences a sharp rise and then levels off as the maximum population size the environment can support based on the resources it has is reached. This jund of population growth is referred to as logistic growth.

The population of the organism fluctuates a little bit around the carrying capacity based on several factors, especially competition for resources.

Explain why vision is lost when it hits the blind spot.
BaLLatris [955]
I don't personally know this but I looked it up and these were some answers I got.

1. There are no photoreceptors present, therefore vision is lost when light hits this spot (the blind spot)

2. Vision is lost when light hits the blind spot because the blind spot lacks photoreceptors, so light focused on it cannot be seen.

3. The back of your eye contains all of the detectors which sense when light hits them, this is how you see. All of these signals are sent to the brain by the optic nerve, which connects to the back of the eye to receive the signals. Where it connects, however, there are no detectors so there is a small patch which each eye is unable to see and the brain has to fill in based on data from the other eye.

Hope it helped!
