Answer:

The rate of reproduction.

Explanation:

It should be understood that poiklothermic animals are the animals that do not have constant body temperature. This means that their temperature changes in accordance to the temperature of the environment. Examples of such organisms are reptiles and Pisces, fishes, among others.

The homeothermic animals are the animals that are capable of maintaining their body temperature.

Homeotherm is usually applied to animals that can maintain a constant body temperature through metabolic processes endotherms.

It should be understood that endothermy is the process of maintaining body temperature through internally generated metabolic heat

Examples of endothermic homeotherms are bird and mammals, these animals have a high metabolic rate.

In conclusion, the population of poiklothermic animals are more than that of homeothermic animals because of the rate of their reproduction. The poiklothermic animals reproduce in high numbers when compared to the the homeothermic animals.

A longshore current flowing southwards along a coast will primarily transport sediments
babunello [35]

Southwards parallel to the shoreline.

A geological course that is made up of the movement of sediments like silt, clay, shingle and sandd within a coast parallel to the shoreline, which is reliant on oblique approaching wind direction is called longshore drift. Oblique incoming wind restraints water along the coast, and so creates a water current which moves parallel to the coast.

Please help me!!! 26 POINTS !!!!<br> what would happen to an ecosystem without nitrifying bacteria?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Microbes. Bacteria, for example, convert nitrogen and carbon dioxide from the air into usable components that plants and animals can use as essential building blocks. A loss of all microbes would be terrible news for living organisms that can't create or take in these essential nutrients on their own.
