Logging companies own significant amounts of land in the coastal ranges of California and typically hold onto their land for man

y decades. Their most important harvest is the redwood tree, which thrives, in moist, cool environments. The many small creeks that run through the coastal ranges support aquatic organisms including algae, fish, and invertebrates such as insect larvae and crustaceans. Because logging disturbs the soil, causing sediment to erode into the creeks, environmentalists have pushed for regulations preventing logging within a specified number of feet from all creeks. However, if the logging companies were given a choice, they would prefer to log the trees very close to the creeks.
1. Using the concepts of limiting factors and primary productivity, explain why the logging companies would like to be able to log next to the creeks.

2. Consider the effect that logging next to the creeks could have on the primary productivity within the creek. Explain two abiotic factors that could be changed by the logging and whether each of these changes would be expected to increase or decrease the primary productivity of the creek ecosystem.

Unlike freshwater fish, saltwater fish
Olin [163]


The best answer is A

Saltwater fish are hypotonic to their surroundings. This means their blood has a higher water concentration than the surrounding sea water.

Due to the fact that there is more salt and less water outside their bodies, there is a tendency to take in salt and lose water.

To counter this, salt water fish drink a lot of the sea water and urinate very little. Special cells in the gills actively eliminate salt at the cost of extra energy and these fishes do not absorb any salt from the water they drink.

Comparing Densities
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Ball A has more density.  

Explanation:

Density is found using mass divided by volume. Let's say ball A has a mass of 6 grams, and ball B has a mass of 3 grams. If the volume for both is 1 mL, then ball A has more density.

If the original finches that had been blown over to the Galápagos from South America had already been genetically different from
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

If the original finches that had been blown over to the Galápagos from South America had already been genetically different from the parental population of South American finches, even before adapting to the Galápagos, this would have been an example of

E) both the first and third of these.

Explanation:

Genetic drift was the process of changing of allele frequencies over generations in a random fashion.

Founder effect is closely linked with the genetic drift. In this case, a few individuals of the original population start a new colony isolated from the other members of the species.

A founder effect happens when a new colony started from few members of the original population. The small size of population means that the colony may have a small variation of the genes in the original population.

A founder effect event happens when a small group of individuals was separated from the rest of the population, whereas a bottleneck effect occurs when most of the population is destroyed.

Bdelloid rotifers are microscopic freshwater invertebrates. No one has ever seen a male. Thus, researchers hypothesized that the
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the information being described within the question it can be said that the main evidence supporting this is that Bdelloid rotifers exhibit much more variation in their pairs of homologous genes than most sexually reproducing species. This is mainly because sexually reproducing species there tends to be lots of crossing over which creates a mechanism that gets rid of most harmful mutations from appearing thus allowing for higher survival rates.
