Answer;

A forest fire that was caused by lightning

Explanation;

-Density-independent factors are factors such as weather and climate, that exert their influences on population size regardless of the population's density. In contrast, the effects of density-dependent factors intensify as the population increases in size.

-Density-independent limiting factor have the same effect regardless of population size, for example - If there is a wild fire, the fire destroys all the animals in the forest regardless of how many animals there are. The fire does not care how big the population is.

What is the main sugar used by cells for energy?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer is GLUCOSE.

Explanation:

Glucose is the main sugar used by cells for energy. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates. In humans, glucose is usually absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the blood then carry the blood around the body, allowing each cell to have access to the glucose it needs.

If the quantity of glucose in the blood is more than needed per time, the body usually store the excess glucose as glycogen, the glycogen will be turned to glucose and release for cell use when the quantity of sugar in the blood is low. In the absence of glycogen, other macro nutrients such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when the concentration of glucose in the blood is low.

The cells oxidize the glucose and convert it to energy in form of ATP, which they use to carry out their life activities.

A drought causes a wildfire which destroys a forest. Which Earth systems interact during this process? (1 point) Select one: a.
Ne4ueva [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>It is the biosphere and hydrosphere that interact when a drought causes a wildfire that destroys a forest. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hydrosphere consists of all the water bodies of earth like oceans, seas, rivers, lakes etc.  a drought occurs due to scarcity of water which affects the hydrosphere. The scarcity of water causes plants and trees to dry up and become more prone to catching fire

Biosphere includes all the living organisms of the earth. It includes plants, trees, birds, insects, animals etc. A drought dries up a whole area and a small fire that starts up somewhere in  a forest would then engulf the whole forest.

Dimas [21]

Answer: B.) More research is needed to reach a conclusion, including related variables

Explanation:

As it is evident that oxygen is necessary element for living beings. It is required for the process of respiration, in which the food particles are broken down in the presence of oxygen into simpler substances.

Applying this knowledge to the given study suggests that all organisms require oxygen which can be less or more depending upon their habitat either in the shallow waters or in the depths. This conclusion is invalid and requires more explanatory approach which can be achieved by more research so as to derive a valid conclusion in which the two variables oxygen and relative habitats can be compared.
