Binomial Nomenclature is written using the genus name and its specific epithet. Originally, it was classified under genus Belostoma making its binomial name Belostoma sp. But after a taxonimic revision cited on 2006, the giant water bug was then classified under genus Lethocerus and specific epithet americanus making its binomial name now Lethocerus americanus or L. americanus.

kow [346]

Gross primary productivity (GPP) is the rate at which - E: producers convert radiant energy into chemical energy

Gross primary productivity, or GPP, is the rate at which light energy or radiant energy is used to form and store chemical energy in sugar molecules during photosynthesis.

Producers use stored chemical energy for metabolism and cellular respiration for growth and development.

amount of living organic material is supported by a particular ecosystem.
the energy produced per unit area over a given time span

Thus, Gross primary productivity (GPP) is the rate at which - E: producers convert radiant energy into chemical energy

During respiration, what do consumers such as animals release?

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Carbondioxide and water

Explanation:

During respiration food molecules are broken down to release energy. During this process oxygen is required and not formed but Carbondioxide and water is liberated as byproduct. So the closest answers are Carbondioxide and water

Did the detergents containing enzymes work better at removing stains than those containing no enzyme? Why or why not?

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Because stains are made of different types of molecules, a range of enzymes are needed to break them down. Proteases break down proteins, so are good for blood, egg, gravy, and other protein stains. Amylases break down starches, and lipases break down fats and grease. Washing powders usually only contain one type of enzyme, though some have two or all three.

In 1985 a biologist counted 750 pine trees in a 250 hectare forest. Using similar counting techniques, the biologist counted 1,2

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Suppose that we have a given function f(x)

The average rate of change of the function between two values x₁ and x₂ is given by:

$r = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

a) We want to find the average (rate) of change on the size of population from 1985 to 1995.

We have that:

f(1985) = 750

f(1995) = 1500

Then we have:

$r = \frac{1500 - 750}{1995 - 1985} = 750/10 = 75$

This means that the population of trees increases, in average, at a rate of 75 trees per year.

b) What is the density of trees each year that they were counted?

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of trees and the area.

1985: number of trees = 750 pines

area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1985) = (750 pines)/(250 ha) = 3 pines/ha

So 1985, there were 3 pines per hectare.

1990: number of trees = 1250 pines

area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1990) = (1250 pines)/(250 ha) = 5 pines/ha

1995: number of trees = 1500 pines

area = 250 ha

The density is:

D(1995) = (1500 pines)/(250 ha) = 6 pines/ha

3) now we want to get the average change between 1985 and 1995 in the density, this will be:

$r = \frac{D(1995) - D(1885)}{1995 - 1985} = \frac{6 pines/ha - 3pines/ha}{10} = 0.3 pines/ha$

So, on average, each year the number of pines per hectare increases by 0.3
