Heat is considered as a water pollutant because it decreases the capacity of water to dissolve oxygen, and it increases the rate of metabolism fish. Valuable species of game fish cannot survive in water with very low levels of dissolved oxygen.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Geneticists have discovered that all human embryos start life as females. In the early development in the embryonic stage, this is true both for humans and mammals. This changes only at the 2nd month (in the case of humans, since different mammals have different gestating periods) if the embryo can elaborate enough androgens (dominant male hormone) to offset the maternal estrogens (dominant female hormone) then, maleness develops.
Answer:
The correct option is <em>3. they break down rock into soil in which plants can grow</em>
Explanation:
When a disaster is such huge that even the soil and organic matter get removed from the place, then the succession that will occur in such kind of place will be termed as primary succession. For example, a volcanic eruption or an earthquake.
On the other hand, if after a disaster some of the organic matter remains on the land, then the succession that will occur will be termed as secondary succession. E.g a succession after fire
In primary succession, the pioneer species will be plants that require less soil such as the lichens. The lichens will break down the rocks into the soil and eventually new species of plants will start to grow on the land.
Answer: 1. a. logistics model of growth
2. a. environmental conditions
3. b. all limiting factors
4. b. water availability
Explanation:
1. a. logistic model of growth will show the increase in population of a species in accordance with the carrying capacity exponentially but when the population will experience the scarcity of resources it will decline considerably.
Carrying capacity is the total number of members of the population of a species that an ecosystem can sustain by providing resources.
2. b. All environmental conditions which favor the survival of the living beings will contribute to the carrying capacity for example food, water, shelter, and other resources.
3. b. Limiting factor is the one which limit the chances of survival and growth of a particular species in an ecosystem. For example, scarcity of food, here food is the limiting factor.
4. d. A density dependent limiting factor is the one which affects the population of the species based upon the density. The water availability is a density dependent limiting factor because the more the density or abundance of a population more will be the scarcity of water as it will be required by all organisms. So, the species population may experience decline due scarcity of water.
Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.
Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity
Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity
Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity
OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity
Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity
Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity
