B) The growth rate decreases because not all butterflies will be nourished enough because of lack of supplies for the growing colony

Situation explanation:

So, the maximum capacity of monarch butterfly individuals that can live in the meadow is 5000. That means that the 20-butterfly population will continue growing (reproducing) until it reaches 5000.

Answer explanation:

If the population were to grow exponentially, there wouldn't be an end and the 5000-limit would not be respected.

If the population were to grow logistically, the end of the growth would be the same as the limit, which means that the 5000-limit would be respected.

--> Therefore, the only possible answer is D, which states that the population will reach 5000 and after that the growth will stabilise (exactly what would hapen in a logistic growth).

Hope it helped,

Ierofanga [76]

The above mentioned process is called as <u>Anaerobic respiration </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

All organisms need oxygen to produce energy but in some prokaryotes and eukaryotes they lack the presence of oxygen in their environment. Hence they have adapted a strategy called anaerobic respiration to break down the inorganic molecules to produce energy.

They use carbon dioxide and release methane as the by product. The process of glycolosis helps.  All types of fermentation happens anaerobically here. It helps down to break down the fuels and produce energy. This energy is utilized for their life function.

Which country's colonists maintained a profitable fur trade in North America
Tom [10]

Answer:

The North American fur trade was an industry and activity related to the acquisition, trade, exchange, and sale of animal furs in North America. Aboriginal peoples in Canada and Native Americans in the United States of various regions traded among themselves in the pre–Columbian Era. Europeans participated in the trade from the time of their arrival in the New World, extending the trade's reach to Europe. The French started trading in the 16th century, the English established trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada during the 17th century, while the Dutch had trade by the same time in New Netherland. North American fur trade was at its peak of economic importance in the 19th century, and involved the development of elaborate trade networks.

The fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America attracting competition among the French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and Russians. Indeed, in the early history of the United States, capitalizing on this trade, and removing the British stranglehold over it, was seen as a major economic objective. Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade as their primary source of income. By the mid-1800s changing fashions in Europe brought about a collapse in fur prices. The American Fur Company and some other companies failed. Many Native communities were plunged into long-term poverty and consequently lost much of the political influence they once had.

The column of mercury in the barometer is lowest when the barometer is ion location 4. Atmospheric pressure measured by the barometer decreases with an increase in altitude. Atmospheric pressure is caused by the column of air above the ground level at any given point on the earths surface thus an increase in altitude leads to a decrease in this column leading to a decrease in atmospheric pressure.
