Julie is studying the clearing of tropical rain forests in Brazil. The land is being cleared for farming, but the poor quality o

f the soil limits the productivity of the farms. Julie is trying to evaluate the claim that if one of the new farms is abandoned, an ecosystem that is similar to the original rain forest will return to the land.
Which statement is MOST useful for Julie to cite in her evaluation of this claim?

A. Secondary succession always restores the original climax community.
B. Primary succession always restores the original climax community.
C. Secondary succession may not restore the original climax community when the soil structure and microbiome is damaged.
D. Primary succession never restores the original climax community, due to the local extinction of the original species.

B. Primary succession restores land after it has been destroyed

The answer is A. Secondary succession always restores the original climax community.

The land of tropical rain forest is cleared for farming by changing the community structure, without removing the soil, then secondary succession will cause the disturbed ecosystem of rain forest returns to its original climax community. It is because secondary succession generally occurs on a surface where an ecosystem has previously existed  and is faster than primary succession.

Why does the temperature of ocean water remain relatively constant, despite large fluctuations in air temperature? A) Ocean wate
tatiyna
The answer is B. The specific heat means the heat amount the substance needs to absorb when the temperature increases 1℃. The high specific heat means that it needs a huge amount of heat when increase just 1℃. For A, the dissolved salts can help decrease the freezing point.

How do the unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids affect the structure of cell membranes?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Unsaturated fatty acids are a component of the phospholipids in cell membranes and help maintain membrane fluidity. The Phospholipids contain a variety of unsaturated fatty acids, when compressed, the “kinks” in their tails push adjacent phospholipid molecules away, that helps in maintain fluidity in the membrane. Unsaturated fatty acids have at least one double bond, creating a "kink" in the chain, the absence of double bonds decreases fluidity, making the membrane very strong and stacked tightly.

The ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids determines the fluidity in the membrane at a temperature, at appropriate temperatures the phospholipids have enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the membrane together, which increases membrane fluidity.

In the currently accepted atomic model, an electron orbits the nucleus in a<br> clear, defined path.
Alex777 [14]

FALSE

In the currently accepted atomic model, an electron orbits around the nucleus is NOT in a clear, defined path.

Explanation:

According to modern atomic models, like the Bohr theory, it is difficult to know the exact location and path of an electron around the nucleus. This is partly because the mere act of observing the electrons changes its position. This is because the electrons have negligible mass and therefore ‘hitting’ them with any form of radiation for ‘illumination’ changes its position, behavior, and properties. In addition, the movement of electrons is very rapid such that by the time one observes the instantaneous location of an electron, if it was possible, it will have changed its position.

Therefore modern theories, such as VSPER, model atoms based on properties of where an electron will highly likely be found. This is how the shells and subshells of electrons (s, p, d, f) are modeled.
