Weight of air

Depending on elevation, the air pressure varies. This is because of the weight of the air that is exerting pressure on earth. At higher elevation, there is less layer of air that is exerting pressure so the atmospheric pressure is also less. At lower altitudes or at sea level, more layer of air is exerting pressure so the atmospheric pressure is also more. The sun’s energy has nothing to do with air pressure. The energy that the Earth gets from the sun is more or less constant. The same with density of nitrogen, and the earth’s magnetic field, they have nothing to do with air pressure.

expeople1 [14]

Natural selection refers to the phenomenon by which the species in a population possessing the tendency to get adapted in a condition enhance in numbers in comparison to those who exhibit fewer adaptation capacities over a number of generations.  

In other words, it can be stated as the non-random and differential development of distinct genotypes function to sustain favorable variant and to eradicate less favorable variants. Some of the conditions are required for the process of natural selection to take place.  

These are heredity, reproduction, variation in individual characters, and variation in the fitness of organisms among the members of the population. If the conditions are met, then the phenomenon of natural selection occurs by default.

Describe how cooperativity of oxygen binding in hemoglobin is advantageous for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tis
Nostrana [21]
The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is less than its structural analog myoglobin. However, this does not affect hemoglobin's usefulness for the body; on the contrary, it allows hemoglobin to be a  more efficient carrier than myoglobin. This is because hemoglobin can release oxygen more easily than can myoglobin. It is both important for oxygen to be carried to different areas and also to be released when needed. The higher affinity of a given protein for oxygen, the harder it will be for that protein to release oxygen when needed. Therefore, hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen serves it well because it allows hemoglobin to release oxygen more easily in the body.

Tropical rainforests have high species richness of trees. Provide the most reasonable explanation why animal species richness is
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Here, is the question with the explanations to pick from to complete the question

Tropical rainforests have high species richness of trees. Which of the following statements provides the MOST reasonable explanation why animal species richness is also high in tropical rainforests?

Animals are unable to adapt to climate variability in higher latitudes.

Animals have had the same amount of time to evolve in rainforest areas as trees.

Animal diversification rates are higher than those of trees.

Animals have diversified into the vast number of niches provided by tree diversity

The last option is the most reasonable one

Our answer is:

Animals have diversified into the vast number of niches provided by tree

Explanation:

The reason is that a lot of species are highly specialized to occupy a particular niche. Where that favourable niche exists, the population of that species increases as its offspring colonize new areas.
