Describe some of the problems faced by benthic organisms in the ocean

2 answers:

Benthic organisms live on the ocean floor, where photosynthesis cannot occur. Since they cannot feed on any plants or living things that require photosynthesis to live, they must feed on either falling nutrients or on each other. Due to the lack of a stable food source, life progresses slowly and survival isn't a promise.

The benthic organism is an organism that lives on, in or near the seafloor. This also helps the environment and marine life by providing structure, alter water currents, and stabilize shorelines, hard substrate settlement. Some recycle nutrients and improve water quality. An animal of a large group distinguished by the possession of a backbone or spinal column, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes.

Veronica wrote Charles Darwin’s main points on the board, but she made a mistake in one point.

Leno4ka [110]

The question above is incomplete, the remaining part of the question is given below:
1. Since more offspring are produced than an environment can support, organisms within a population must compete for resources to survive.

2. Due to variations within the population, some competitors will be better equipped for survival than others.

3. The best-equipped organisms will survive and will produce well-equipped offspring.

4. Variations that help with survival will be passed on to future generations and will rapidly change the whole population.

Which point is flawed as written above?
A. point 1
B. point 2
C. point 3
D. point 4

ANSWER

The correct option is D.

All the options written above about Darwin's theory are quite correct with the exception of option D. Charles Darwin was the scientist who proposed the theory of evolution by mean of natural selection. Darwin submitted that, due to the scarcity of needed resources in an environment, it is only the fittest individuals in a particular population that will be able to survive and produce offspring that share their adaptability features. As this continue from generation to generation, it leads to evolution, which is defined as the changes overtime, which give rise to new species that share a common ancestors. Contrary to the point made in option D, evolution by natural selection is not a rapid process at all, it is a process that occur over a long period of time.

what happens to the two small balloons inside as you pull down the big balloon at the bottom of the model?

xeze [42]

Answer:

The lower pressure balloon will expand. Figure 2 (above left) shows a typical initial configuration: the smaller balloon has the higher pressure. So, when the valve is opened, the smaller balloon pushes air into the larger balloon. It becomes smaller, and the larger balloon becomes larger.

Wave is a periodic (1) __________ that moves away from a source which carries (2) __________ with it. Waves can be typified acco

swat32

The correct answers to fill into the blank spaces are;

Wave is a periodic disturbance that moves away from a source which carries energy with it. Waves can be typified according to the direction of motion of the vibrating particles with respect to the direction in which the waves travel and according to medium .

Longitudinal waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction in which the waves travel. This wave exhibits up and down motion. Longitudinal waves vibrate perpendicular or back and forth to the direction in which the waves travel.

Electromagnetic waves are combination of transverse and longitudinal waves. These move in a circular pattern as the waves pass by.

Mechanical waves need solid, liquid and gas medium to propagate or travel. Transverse, mechanical and surface waves are examples of mechanical waves.

Electromagnetic waves do not need medium to propagate. Radio waves, ultraviolet, infrared, and gamma rays are examples of electromagnetic waves. The nature of waves can be described through its terms, quantities and propagation.

The crust and trough refer to the highest point and lowest point of a wave pattern, respectively. The magnitude of a transverse wave is the maximum displacement of a particle of the medium on either side of its normal position when the wave passes. The frequency of periodic waves is the number of waves that pass a particular point for every one second while the Amplitude is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs.

The period is the time required for one complete wave to pass a particular point. The speed of the wave refers to the distance the wave travels per unit time. It is related to the frequency of the wave and wavelength through the following equation: wave speed= frequency x wavelength.
