Explain why the number of mice in a grassland ecosystem is greater than the number of hawks

1 answer:

5 0

Let's go back to "Darwin's" evolution theory. mice can be smarter than the average hawk, they are fast, have underground protection from cold,heat, rain,ECT..and they scavenge during p.m. hours, not all hawks are nocturnal, that's why owls are nocturnal. This cycle ensures enough food source for all predators. A hawk can consume at least 6 mice per day/night. rodents are natural prey for all preditors., even coyote. hope this helps, plus mice reproduce quickly compared to preditors.
hope this helps..

Bumek [7]

Answer:

pores

Explanation:

The nucleus consists of "nuclear pores" on its outer membrane. Each of these are surrounded by nuclear pore complex. It allows the pore to regulate the movement of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. It allows small particles to pass through such as ribosomal proteins. It prevents most large particles (except for histone) from passing through; thus, it is selective in nature. This function of the pores clearly shows that it allows communication to occur between the nucleus interior and the cytoplasm.
