Answer: C. The amount of light

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are the non-living factors including the soil, water, sunlight and others. These factors affect both positively and negativity the living species in an ecosystem.

The amount of light is the abiotic factor that will affect the freshwater ecosystem. The light is required by the plants or other autotrophic organisms for the process of photosynthesis. These autotrophs produce food over which the diversity of aquatic fauna is dependent. Therefore, the amount of light available to distinct zones of the water body is important in order to sustain life of those organisms living in the zones.

If the amount of light is more this may lead to drastic increase in the temperature of the water body. The increase in the temperature may not prove to be suitable for the survival of the living species in water.

Suppose the femur bone of an animal has 1,000 atoms of carbon-14 when the animal dies. How many atoms of carbon 14 will be prese
shtirl [24]

Answer:

After 6000 years, approximately 500 atoms of carbon-14 will be left in the femur bone of an animal which had 1000 atoms of carbon-14 when the animal died.

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope of an element is the time taken for half the atoms present in a given amount of the element to undergo decay or disintegration. For example, the half-life of carbon-14 isotope is 5730 years. This means that, if there are 100 atoms of carbon-14 present in a given sample of a material, in the next 5730 years, approximately, 50 atoms of carbon-14 will be left in the material.

Since the half-life of radioactive isotopes are constant, these radioactive isotopes are used in the determining the ages of ancient life-forms as well as rocks.

In the given example, after 6000 years, approximately 500 atoms of carbon-14 will be left in the femur bone of an animal which had 1000 atoms of carbon-14 when the animal died.

What happens if a population is not in hardy-weinberg equilibrium apex?
lianna [129]
<span>If a population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that can cause deviations from expectation depending on the assumptions of HW that are violated. If a population violates some of the assumptions (like mutations, migrations and selection) the allele frequencies will change over time. Also, if a non-random mating occurs (like inbreeding), it will cause an increase in homozygosity for all genes.</span>

What are some benefits of farming for the society/environment?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Pasture and cropland occupy around 50 percent of the Earth's habitable land and provide habitat and food for a multitude of species. When agricultural operations are sustainably managed, they can preserve and restore critical habitats, help protect watersheds, and improve soil health and water quality. in addition to preserving the earth's natural resources, sustainable agriculture benefits the environment through helping maintain soil quality, reducing erosion, and preserving water. Plants and trees in agricultural systems help to retain and add water to underground aquifers. ... Together, they act as an important buffer in the landscape, preventing flooding, reducing water pollution from agricultural runoff and preventing erosion, while providing us with nutritious food at the same time. Farming creates opportunities to lift people out of poverty in developing nations. Over 60 percent of the world's working poor works in agriculture. Farming creates more jobs, beginning with farmers, and continuing with farm equipment makers, food processing plants, transportation, infrastructure and manufacturing.
