Scientists have recently discovered a community of bacteria and clams living under an ice shelf in Antarctica. These organisms l

ive under 600 feet of ice, in the absence of sunlight, and in temperatures considered too cold for most living organisms. The location where these organisms live is unusual because
(1) only biotic factors control the size of the populations
(2) bacteria and clams are found in the same area
(3) of the abiotic factors found in their environment
(4) green plants make energy-rich compounds available

Answer:

Option 3, of the abiotic factors found in their environment

Explanation:

The abiotic factors such as absence of sunlight and extremely cold temperature represents picture of an extreme habitat under an ice shelf in Antarctica.  

The optimum temperature requirements of bacteria for its survival ranges from 10oC to 20oC. In case,  if a bacteria lives in an environment where temperature is less than -5oC or higher than  50oC, then such habitats are considered to be “habitats with extremities”  as special physiological mechanisms are required to maintain the homeostasis and survive.

Likewise absence of sunlight further adds to the extremities of the habitat.

Option 3, is correct

Urban sprawl covers land once used for food production and destroys ecosystems.
wlad13 [49]
It is true that Urban sprawl covers land once used for food production and destroys ecosystems. Many of the large cities that have come up were once fertile lands for irrigation or were big jungles. These jungles were cut down or the fertile lands destroyed to build cities and industries.
By the United States Census Bureau standards, a population of 1000 people define an urban area is completely false statement. As per the United States Census Bureau, more than 50000 people define an urban area.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Goldman is a psychotherapist who follows the psychodynamic perspective. When treating a patient for a fear of spiders, Dr. Goldman <u>first has to assists the patient in identifying the unconscious roots of the fear.</u>

Explanation:

The first thing that Dr. Goldman has to do as a psychotherapist to help a patient with a fear of spiders is work with the person to try to find the reason why the patient is scare of spiders and what has provoked this fear. The cause is something that is repressed and operating on a subconscious level, if not, it would be hard for the person to deal with this fear and the cause in an everyday basis, with the help from the therapist the patient can work on this subconscious things and tolerate them.

28. What specific adaptation has the sub-type of CAM plants derived to reduce the amount of water lost in dry environments?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: a. Stomata open at Night

Explanation:

As a tactic to minimize photorespiration in warm regions, many water-storing plants such as cacti and pineapples modified its method of carbon fixation. This process is called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), following the plant family Crassulaceae, in which it was first identified. In these plants, the stomata (singular, stoma), specialized openings in the leaves of all plants through which CO2 enters and water vapor is lost, open during the night and close during the day. This model of stomatal opening and closing is the opposite of that in most plants.

How deep of a diffusion does is meet to needs of living cells?
Naily [24]

Diffusion is the net movement of anything (for example, atom, ions, molecules) from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is driven by a gradient in concentration.

The concept of diffusion is widely used in many fields, including physics (particle diffusion), chemistry, biology, sociology, economics, and finance (diffusion of people, ideas, and price values). The central idea of diffusion, however, is common to all of these: an object (for example, atom, idea, etc.) undergoing diffusion spreads out from a point or location at which there is a higher concentration of that object.

A gradient is the change in the value of a quantity, for example, concentration, pressure, or temperature with the change in another variable, usually distance. A change in concentration over a distance is called a concentration gradient, a change in pressure over a distance is called a pressure gradient, and a change in temperature over a distance is called a temperature gradient.

The word diffusion derives from the Latin word, diffundere, which means "to spread out."

A distinguishing feature of diffusion is that it depends on particle random walk, and results in mixing or mass transport without requiring directed bulk motion. Bulk motion, or bulk flow, is the characteristic of advection.[1] The term convection is used to describe the combination of both transport phenomena.

If a diffusion process can be described by Fick's laws, it's called a normal diffusion (or Fickian diffusion); Otherwise, it's called an anomalous diffusion (or non-Fickian diffusion).
