Answer:
The comparatively fast evolution of various species from a single common ancestor is known as adaptive radiation. It usually takes place when an organism enters a novel region and distinct traits influence its survival. The island chain offers suitable conditions for adaptive radiation to take place as when an organism of a certain species comes to an island together and get disperse all through the chain, and each of these organisms getting settle into distinct niches and exploiting various food resources in order to minimize the competition, thus, resulting into adaptive radiation.
Answer: States of matter; increases
Several factors influence the rate of diffusion and among these factors are temperature, STATES OF MATTER, electrical currents, and molecular size. For example, as temperature INCREASES, the rate of diffusion increases.
Explanation:
Factors influencing the rate of diffusion include:
- Temperature: High temperature increases the speed at which molecules move. Thus, as temperature increases, the rate of diffusion increases
- States of matter: Diffusion varies within the three states of matter. The diffusion of gases is much faster than that of liquids and solids, because the gas molecules are freer and therefore faster than the rest.
- Molecular size: The smaller the molecules, the faster the rate of diffusion while the larger the molecules, the slower the rate of diffusion.
Other factors include electrical currents.
The second answer from the top
Answer:
every squirrel in the forest
all forests populations
plants, fungi and microbes in the forest
Explanation:
In ecology, a community refers to a population of different species of organisms occupying a particular area at a particular time. In other words, community is a group of living organisms of different species interacting with one another in a given habitat.
According to the question, a forest community will contain all plants, animals and microbes in the forest involved in a series of interaction with one another. This includes every squirrel in the forest, all population of organisms in the forest and all plants, fungi and microbes in the forest.
N.B: If the abiotic components are included to the living ones, they will together make up an ECOSYSTEM.
