1- Evaporation: Energy from the Sun causes water to become vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
2- Condensation: The water is cooled in the temperatures of the lower atmosphere, turning it from vapor into liquid water and collect into clouds.
3- Precipitation: The clouds become too heavy to remain in the sky, and it rains.
Answer:
(A) Organisms within a population compete with each other to survive.
Explanation:
The male oryx are fighting with their horns to probably compete with each other for maybe who gets to graze in a certain part of the forest or gets to mate with a female.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
T tubules do not generate ATPs. This is done by mitochondria. T tubules are the invagination of cell membranes into the muscle cells. They allow for rapid actuation of the action potential by the muscle cells. They do this by synchronizing the release of calcium ions that are important in muscle contraction.
Answer:
D. Gross primary productivity is the total amount of solar energy captured by producers through photosynthesis over time.
Explanation:
The gross primary productivity of an ecosystem represents the rate at which the producers of the system capture the solar energy so that they can perform the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, GPP is the total amount of photosynthetic energy captured per unit area over a given time period. Producers consume the part of the GPP for their own respiration and maintenance. Therefore, gross primary productivity is the sum total of the growth of producers per unit area per unit time and the energy used by them for respiration.
