Explain how changing temperature leads to an unstable ecosystem

Biology

An ecosystem composes of an environment and the organisms that interact with said environment. Changing temperature leads to an unstable ecosystem because of two things; failure of adaptation for the environment, or failure of adaptations for the animals.
If the environment fails to adapt to a change in temperature, plants will die, thus causing herbivores to die and the whole food web/chain to disrupt. (Im not really going in to deep detail, but plants can die from the soil failing to fertilize.)
For animals, it may also disrupt the food chain, but natural resources such as water may be needed more in the heat. If said animal doesnt have the adaptations to compete in such an event, they die. Also, especially if the environment was previously a desert, all adaptations will be useless, and other animals will start to move in. More competition. Not only that, if the ecosystems temperature decreases, for example, many animals might die from the cold and such. They do not hibernate/ have the adaptations of an animal that lives in the cold.

All in all, changing temperature can cause an unstable ecosystem because it can disrupt the food chain/web, kill plants, kill animals, cause an increase of animals, cause a decrees of natural resources (such as water) and much more.

(Sorry for grammar, I'm on mobile and not really paying attention to it. im not really double checking my spelling because im trying to give you the information, not really write it for you as that would be too much work)

Please help me with this homework question!
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Tt and tt

Explanation:

To solve this just work backwards. The first box has Tt so one parent has to have T and the other t. Since the tall plant is on the top, it is T_ and t_. Next use the second box (tt). They are both t so the final answer is Tt x tt.

Rock B reacts with hydrochloric acid. State the name of the rock B
choli [55]

Answer:

The sedimentary rock limestone which contains carbonate mineral Calcite and the metamorphic rocks which contain carbonate mineral Aragonite are the examples of rocks which react strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

Rocks are naturally occurring structures formed on the Earth's crust and are composed of aggregate minerals. Classification of rocks: Igneous rocks - formed by cooling of magma on Earth's crust or seabed (basalts, gabbros, granite, etc), sedimentary rocks - formed over time by the accumulation of sediments from the weathering of existing rocks or fragments of minerals and organisms (mudstone, sandstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, siltstone, etc) and metamorphic rocks - transformed rocks formed from the existing rocks that are subjected to large pressures and temperatures (schists, gneiss, marble, etc).

The carbonate minerals like calcite, dolomite, aragonite, etc react with hydrochloric acid and release carbon dioxide gas bubbles. Calcite (calcium carbonate), which is found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks in a varying proportion reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid. So, the sedimentary rock Limestone which mainly contains calcite react strongly with the acid while Dolostone which mainly contains dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) reacts less vigorously. Another carbonate mineral aragonite, found in metamorphic rocks also reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Vaccination is a process of injecting a dead or weakened form of a germ into the body. How does this help strengthen the immune
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Because you body is introduced to the virus, it is familiar to it and can build up an immunity to the weakened form so when the actual virus invades, your body know what to do.

A student wants to test the hypothesis that plants need soil to grow. Identify the independent
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Independent variable: Adding/not adding soil.

Dependent variables: Does the plant grow? Amount of leaves, plant length.

Controlled variables: Type of plant used, amount of sunlight received, pot used for plant, amount of water given, temperature of soil, etc.

Explanation:

Independent variable: The thing that you want to change. To see if plants need soil to grow, you would need to either add or remove soil altogether.

Dependent variables: The thing that is being measured. By adding your independent variable, you should be able to answer certain questions.

Controlled variables: Things you want to keep the same for each experimental group. For example, if you used different plants, your results could be affected negatively as some plants might rely on soil less than others/grow at a slower or faster pace.
