Answer:

The correct option is: A carbon atom can complete its valence shell by forming four covalent bonds

Explanation:

Carbon is a chemical element that belongs to the group 14 of the periodic table. The atomic number of carbon atom is 6 and it is denoted by the chemical symbol C.

The electronic configuration of carbon is: 1s², 2s², 2p².  

Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the first electronic shell and 4 electrons in the second electronic shell of the carbon atom.  

<u>There are </u><u>four valence electrons </u><u>in a carbon atom and thus it can form four covalent bonds to complete its valence shell. Therefore, carbon atom is tetravalent.</u>

Solnce55 [7]

I dont know what animation you mean about but i will give my opinion.

ATP are used for energy, they are made inside mitochondria. Mitochondria use oxygen and food to make ATP, which is maybe what u mean by rechargable is because whenever you eat, the mitochondria will produce energy again and again.

Famine- High population means more mouths to feed
Disease- Diseases usually spread more quickly with people who live closer( as it can just move from one person to the other)
War- People like to fight for land, resources, money, etc. And having more of those things mean they are more able to support families, communities, and more.

According to the concept of resource partitioning, which attribute of a community would tend to lead to lower species richness i
melomori [17]
<h2>Species richness </h2>

Explanation:

Resource partitioning is a type of strategy of coexistence among species which allow species to use natural resources in different ways and it may be temporal or spatial

There are two attributes of a community which will tend to lead to lower species richness in a community:

1) Most species are generalists, utilizing a broad spectrum of resources : Species that can live in many different types of environments, and have a varied diet are considered generalists

2) Most species are specialists, utilizing a narrow spectrum of resources: Specialists are those species that require very unique resources, these type of species have a very limited diet or need a specific habitat condition to survive
