Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

If the population follows a logistic growth curve, the graph of P vs t will look like the diagram below.

The rate of growth (P') increases slowly at first, then increases rapidly from 2 to 4, and then slows down, but always P > 0.

The graph has an inflection point at (3, 1000). That's the point at which the rate of growth starts slowing down.

When t < 3, P'' > 0.  

When t = 3, P'' = 0.

When t > 3, P'' < 0, because the rate of population growth is slowing down.

Thus, if the population is in the final phase of logistic growth, the population is increasing at a decreasing rate (TRUE)..

A mixture of the amino acids leucine, glutamate, and arginine, is added to a cation exchange column at neutral ph. in what order
natulia [17]

Cation-exchange chromatography is used when the molecule of interest is positively charged, the stationary phase is negatively charged and positively charged molecules are loaded to be attracted to it. So, the amino acids with negative charge will elute the first. Glutamate, leucin, arginine is the order of elution because of their pI values ~3,  ~6  ~10.

which of the following events is most likely to result in conditions suitable for primary succession?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

An earthquake , a forest fire , a hurricane  and a volcanic eruption.

Explanation:

An earthquake , a forest fire , a hurricane  and a volcanic eruption are the events that is responsible for the suitable conditions for primary succession because all the population of animals and vegetation are removed from an area and the new type of organisms is start to living in that new environment. These new organism has the ability to survive that environmental conditions. These events completely removed the population in the environment and provides conditions for primary succession.
