Barnacles are organisms that live in aquatic environments and live stationary lives attached to hard surfaces. Their feathery ap

pendages catch food as it passes by, making them very successful in tidal waters and within coral reefs. How would scientists best determine the fitness of barnacle populations?
counting the number of surviving offspring a population produces

placing the barnacles in a new environment to determine survival rates of populations

studying the frequency of genes and alleles to determine fitness

counting the number of identical offspring produced by a parent population

The correct option is A.
Fitness refers to the quantitative representation of natural and sexual selection within an evolution. Fitness can be defined in respect to a genotype or a phenotype. Relative fitness is described as the survival or reproductive rate of a genotype or phenotype relative to maximum survival or reproductive rate of other genotypes in the population. Thus, the fitness of a population can be determined by finding out the number of offspring that survive to adulthood.

Briefly explain how producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and scavengers are related in an environment.
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Producers are very important to ecosystem reason being without the producers we would not be able to survive. Producers make their own food by use of sun which turns simple raw materials into food.
 Herbivores are consumers who eat only green plants. Omnivores eat animals and plants. Scavengers only eat dead organisms. Scavengers help the environment in that they eat dead organisms and decomposes the broken organic material down to the raw material.

How does facilitated transport (facilitated diffusion) help a cell maintain homeostasis?
7nadin3 [17]
Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Think of it like a little kid party with two bouncy houses. Let's say that both bouncy houses have the same number of kids, but then half of the people in one bouncy house decide to go get lunch. Then one bouncy house is really full and the other almost empty! So you move to the empty bouncy house so you have more space to jump. This is diffusion. So it helps homeostasis because (back to the bouncy house example) you helped even out the two bouncy houses. Now let's say the kids come back from lunch. Now that bouncy house is too crowded so you move back to the now-emptier one. This is diffusion and you would be helping maintain homeostasis, or an equal level, in both bouncy houses.
