Kettle ponds derive from a hole left by a retreating glacier that is subsequently filled with rainwater. A certain region has a

series of disconnected kettle ponds, but occasionally heavy rains flood them and create streams. Which type of animal is most likely to be present in this area as a metapopulation?

Options are:

A.  a fish

B.  an aquatic bird

C.  a mosquito

D.  a dragonfly

Answer: Fishes

Explanation:

A metapopulation can be defined as a small population that cannot itself make a large population that is stable.Many sub populations are connected intermittently to combine and form a population.

Small population of fishes would have been separated for most of the years and are joined by when floods occur and these populations are connected by kettle ponds.

Rest of the three organism like bird, mosquito and dragon fly cannot be separated so as to form a metapopulation.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

e) a drive

Explanation:

We felt  thirsty when we have fluid imbalance in our body  either we have less water or we have more concentration of osmolytes such as sodium in blood. The brain detect the change produce the effect for the intake of water.

  • However thirst is a vital primordial emotion that motivates us for fluid intake. So the emotion produces a drive to quench it.
  • Some recent studies refers it as basic instinct to drink water.

using the food web, describe two complete food chains that include a ptoducer, consumer, and descomposer.​
Damm [24]

Answer:

A food chain is a representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.

A combination of food chains is termed as a food web.

Example of two food chains in a food web are :

Example No 1:

Plant----- Grasshopper------ Frog---snake--- bacteria

Example No 2:

Plant---- rabbits---- fox---- bacteria

In a food chain, producers are usually plants and algae which are able to make their own food. Consumers feed on the plants. In example no 1, grasshoppers are primary consumers, frogs are secondary consumers, snakes are tertiary consumers.

In example no 2,plants are producers, rabbits are primary consumers and foxed are secondary consumers.

Decomposers are organisms that feed on the dead organisms in a food chain. In both the examples of food chain, bacteria are the decomposers.

ILL GIVE 60 POINTS AND A BRAINIEST
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

1. The school board wants to clear the forest surrounding the local high school to build more fields for high school sports. Following environmental factors need to be investigated before clearing the land:

1. Destruction of natural ecosystem: As forest will be cut the land will be barren. There will be loss , extinction and migration of faunal species. So, the normal balance of ecosystem will b disturbed.

2. Chances of climatic fluctuations: As, forest will be cleared, the water, carbon and oxygen cycle in the atmosphere will be disturbed. The region may not acquire adequate rainfall, temperature of the area will change drastically.

3. Soil erosion: As, forest will be cleared the soil will not be hold up and the loose soil gets wiped out from the location by water or air.The cutting of trees can cause flooding from nearby water body.

2. Two ways to reduce air pollution and slow climatic change are:

1. Control use of fossil fuels: Fossil fuels like coal, petrol, kerosene are used in automobiles, industries and house hold activities. These fossil fuels are organic in nature and adds up carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide gases in air and raises the atmospheric temperature and are responsible for air pollution. Therefore, the use of fossil fuel should be in control manner.

2. Planting more number of trees: The trees are responsible for fixing atmospheric carbon from air for photosynthesis. So, they can decrease the amount of atmospheric carbon abundantly present in forms of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, which are chief air pollutants. These carbon products are responsible for raising temperature so planting of trees can prevent raise of temperature.
