Why are lichens a good pioneer species after a volcanic eruption?

Biology

Answer:

The pioneer species are defined as those species that are very strong and hardy and also they have the capability of enriching the soil particles that favor their growth and development.

The lichens are considered to be a good pioneer species because they have the ability to settle on the surface of the bare rocks, where they can produce acid that allows the rock to disintegrate and results in the generation of soil particles.

Thus, the lichens are a pioneer species that can evolve rapidly after an eruption of a volcano.

If the first trophic level in an energy pyramid receives 1,000 units of energy from the Sun, how much energy is available for th
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10 units

Explanation:

Energy is transferred from organism to organism in an ecosystem when they feed on one another. However, based on the pyramid of energy, only about 10% of energy is transferred from one organism to another because a bulk of energy (about 90%) has been lost to metabolic activities.

Energy moves from producers to consumers, each occupying trophic levels. If the first trophic level in an energy pyramid receives 1,000 units of energy from the sun,

- 10% of 1000units will be available for the second trophic level i.e. 10/100 × 1000 = 100units

- 10% of 100units will be available for the third trophic level i.e. 10/100 × 100 = 10units

Hence, 10units of energy is available for the third trophic level.

The salt concentration in a cell's cytoplasm is 0.9%. The cell is placed in a 10% salt solution. Which term best describes the 1
fenix001 [56]

The term that best describes the 10% salt solution relative to the cytoplasm of the cell is ' Hypertonic'

Explanation:

When the concentration of two solutionare compared they can be described as hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic with relation to one another.

When two solutions have same concentration and osmotic pressure they are said to be isotonic solutions.

The solution which has higher molecular concentration and higher osmotic pressure than the other solution is called hypertonic solution.

The solution which has lower molecular concentration and lower osmotic pressure with respect to other solution is called hypotonic solution.

Here the solution of salt has a higher concentration than cell sap so it is a hypertonic.

A bird that preys on moths is introduced to the habitat with moths and trees like the ones shown below.
Rufina [12.5K]

I believe the answer is: The dark colored moths will experience disruptive selection


The bird prey on moth and possibly identify the moth by visual sense. The moth has two type of color: dark and light. The trees in the area is more light coloured so the black moth will be identified easier as their color is more contrast to the tree. As the dark moth easier to identify, they will be predated more and their population will be reduced. When a trait has advantage than the other, disruptive selection happens.

Hello!

An initial observation is the first thing a scientist notices about a topic before conducting the experiment. We can see that it is the first thing in the paragraph in this case, that dandelions grow as unwanted weeds in many lawns.

The hypothesis is the guess about the result of an experiment made before the experiment is conducted. In this case, it is that a weed killer (Killimal) would kill all the dandelions while leaving the grass healthy. This is not specifically a guess made by the scientist, but more like a prediction he wanted to verify.

An independent variable is the variable being changed in the experiment by the scientist. Here, it is whether Killimal was sprayed or not.

The dependent variable is the variable being measured, and the one being affected by the independent variable. His observation would be whether the grass and dandelions would be killed. This is because the weed killer would be directly affecting whether or not these would be killed.

The control variables are ones which are kept the same in the experiment as to not interfere with the final results. In this case, it would be the density of dandelions, the amount of sunlight, and the amount the plants were watered. These were kept exactly the same, as they could've affected the dependent variable if changed.

The control group was the one that is not impacted by the independent variable. The control group makes sure that it actually is the independent variable affecting the dependent, and it isn't some outside unknown variable. This would be the plot without the Killimal.

The experimental group is the one being experimented on from the independent variable. This would be the plot with the Killimal.

Hope this helps!
