Is it possible for marine scientists to get an exact count of a population? Why or why not?

No, that is completely impossible. The reasoning behind it is because if its a large group of fish they're swimming back and forth ect, ect, it would be like counting a bowl of rice, but not being able to take any out. To get around these counting problems, scientists take data from just a small portion of the population called a sample. They take several samples and then use the average size of those samples to calculate an estimate of the entire population size.

Yes because if you have the right circulations and you figure out how many surtain species their are of each merin animal then you take the total average of each species and add it up then you have your population

List the layers contained in the atmosphere and describe what is in each layer.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Exosphere -The exosphere layer is mainly composed of extremely low densities of hydrogen, helium, and several heavier molecules including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide closer to the exobase. The atoms and molecules are so far apart that they can travel hundreds of kilometers without colliding with one another.

Thermosphere - The aurora (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) mostly occur in the thermosphere. The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The thermosphere is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. ... Temperatures in the upper thermosphere can range from about 500° C (932° F) to 2,000° C (3,632° F) or higher.

Mesosphere- Most meteors burn up in the mesosphere. A type of lightning called sprites sometimes appears in the mesosphere above thunderstorms. Strange, high-altitude clouds called noctilucent clouds sometimes form in this layer near the North and South Poles.

Stratosphere-The stratosphere is the second major atmospheric layer above the troposphere, extending in altitude from about 8 to 30 miles high. No weather occurs in the stratosphere. The statosphere contains over 15% of the total mass of the atmosphere, and is where the ozone layer is located.

Troposphere-The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, and is also where nearly all weather conditions take place. It contains 75% of the atmosphere's mass and 99% of the total mass of water vapour and aerosols.

i hope this helps, good luck :)

Which is the order of airflow during inhalation?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.

Explanation:

The air travels through the respiratory system during inhalation in the next order:

Nasal cavity: You inhale air into your nose.
Larynx: The air travels down to this organ, a hollow, tubular structure that plays a key role in phonation, respiration, and deglutition.
Trachea: (Or windpipe) is a wide, hollow and cartilaginous tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi.
Bronchi: The trachea divides into two primary bronchi; they are the main passageway into the lungs.
Bronchioles: The bronchi develop smaller the closer they get to the lung tissue and are then consider bronchioles.
Alveoli: They are tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles, which is the site of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the respiratory system.
