Which statement describes why natural populations cannot keep growing exponentially?

Biology

Answer: Resources are always limited.

Exponential growth can be defined as the increase in the number of members in a population, at a constantly growing rate.  In nature population may grow exponentially for some period but ultimately decline due to limitation in resource availability. Resources are available to population according to the carrying capacity of the region or ecosystem. Carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum number of individuals that an ecosystem can sustain on the basis of availability of resources like food, shelter and others.

The natural populations cannot keep growing exponentially because the increase in the  size of the population may exceed the carrying capacity of the region or ecosystem. This has resulted due to the limitation of resources.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

C-14 from fossil had reached itshalf life

Explanation:

For radiactive isotopes (such as Carbon-14), per definition; the semi life or semi disintegration period; is defined as the time for which a certain mass isotope mass disintegrates to half of the atoms that make it up

For Carbon-14, this semi life period is 5730 years , and for the above example, as it is mentioned that we originally had 254 grams of C-14 but we currently have 127 grams (this is, exaclt half of the original mass of 254 grams), this leads us that 5730 years have passed since the original mass and the final mass (that is, one semi life period of C-14)

why is it easier/ faster for our body to digest candy than pasta? candy contains disaccharides and thus contains more substrate
Zanzabum

Pasta contains starch and thus contains more substrate and needs more enzyme to digest.

<h3>What is starch ?</h3>

A polymeric carbohydrate called starch, also known as amylum, is made up of a lot of glucose units connected by glycosidic linkages. The majority of green plants synthesize this polysaccharide as a form of energy storage. It is the most prevalent type of carbohydrate consumed by people worldwide and is present in significant proportions in common foods like wheat, potatoes, maize (corn), rice, and cassava (manioc).

Pure starch is a powder that is white, odorless, tasteless, and insoluble in alcohol or cold water. It is made up of the branching amylopectin and the linear and helical amylose molecules. Starch typically comprises 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight, depending on the plant. Animals store their energy in glycogen, which is a more intricately branched form of amylopectin.

In an ecosystem, why can only one species fill an ecological niche? (Site 1)
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Only one species can fill an ecological niche because each niche is destined exclusively for each species, since its structure, physiology and behavior determine it.

Explanation:

An ecological niche is the way in which each species relates to its environment, to other species and takes advantage of the resources available for its development, being an exclusive and individual characteristic of that species.

The ecological niche is a concept that many consider abstract, since it is unique for a species. Each species has a physical structure, functioning and behavior that differentiates it from the others, which leads it to occupy a certain place within an ecosystem, which would be its ecological niche.
