Can you please display a picture of the "rock below in Whistler, Canada"? It'll make the question easier to answer.
Antarctic soil differs from other soil because it is formed from volcanic rocks
I don’t see any labels, but remember that humans are a great example of a k-selected species. High rates of parental care leads to high survivorship of offspring, and thus negates the need to have large amounts of offspring.
R-selected species are quite the opposite. They produce large amounts of offspring at many intervals in an attempt to maximize survivorship, as they don’t have strong parental involvement with their young. Think of insects.
Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks?
Answer: B. Neurotransmitters; C. Enzyme components; E. Hormones
Explanation: Aminoacids have a variety of functions because they can create proteins. These long and complex molecules perform important roles in different biological processes: they are responsible for the formation of enzymes and hormones. In neurotransmitters, the glutamate appears to be related to functions of the brain, like learning and memory. Other functions of the aminoacids are regeneration of muscular cells, have a role in imunology, growth of tissue, production of collagen and others.
