Phosphorus is most commonly found in rock formations and ocean sediments as phosphate salts. Phosphate salts that are released from rocks through weathering usually dissolve in soil water and will be absorbed by plants. Phosphorus cycles through plants and animals much faster than it does through rocks and sediments. Given this information, the answer is;
<u>D. All of the above</u>
Answer:
One reason that Organism A and Organism C will be placed in different groups will be due to their MODE OF NUTRITION.
As described in the question, Organism A has an autotrophic mode of nutrition which means that it has the capability to produce its own food. Organism C is a heterotroph which means it cannot produce its own food and hence will have different properties as compared to the organism A.
9: Well big groups of birds are often found competing for food, causing fights and even death due to the fight. If a flock of birds from population A goes to population B, there would be more competition due to birds wanting food and nesting places that are good.
10: Many species evolve to suit environmental changes, but let's say this change in the environment was bad. Pollution, species of aggressive animals, which would eat the food the animals need and cause a downgrade in food leaving the area bare, and hunting, which would bring humans to the area and cause them to camp out, eat the animals and wild vegetables, such, can cause negative population changes. Due to these things birds could get sick and die off, causing population to go down. If trash and sewage are not cleaned up it could affect the birds food source and cause it to be bad for a long time, the aggressive animals would kill and eat the birds causing a continuous spiral of death, and hunting could cause them to die.
