Which receives more isolation: Mars or Saturn?

Biology
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Mars receives more insolation than Saturn.

Explanation:

Insolation is defined as the exposure to the Sun's rays.

Mars is the 4th planet in Our solar system and is near to the Sun.

Saturn is the 6th-planet in Our solar system and is far from the Sun.

Insolation is directly proportional to the planet's distance from the Sun.

So, the exposure of Sun's rays is more to the planet which lie close to the Sun.

As, Mars is close to the sun than Saturn. Hence, it will receive more insolation than Saturn.

Plant cells contain both chloroplasts and mitochondria; animal cells have only mitochondria. What can be inferred from this stat
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: D. Plants do not eat, so both chloroplasts and mitochondria are needed to make enough energy for plants to grow.  

Explanation: Option A is invalid since plant cells do use ATP. Option B is invalid since animal cells don't make their energy with chloroplasts. Option D is the most realistic one since chloroplasts in the plant are the ones that make the food for the plants, plant doesn't have a "mouth" so they depend on chloroplast to make food.

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start
andrew11 [14]

Complete question:

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start. The wolves prey on the moose and eat well, allowing them to have abundant offspring. However, as the wolf population rises, the moose population drops, and over time, the wolf population begins to drop also because of the reduced availability of resources. As the wolf population drops, moose are able to better survive and reproduce, causing the moose population to rise. With this abundance of moose, the wolf population is able to rebound until their population exceeds the moose population’s ability to support the number of wolves. Which population dynamic does this series of oscillations represent?

  1. Delayed density dependence
  2. Delayed density independence
  3. Extinction vortex
  4. Carrying capacity

Answer:

  1. Delayed density dependence

Explanation:

The Delayed density dependence occurs when two species are in interaction (prey-predator or parasite-host), and the dynamic of each population follows the dynamic of the other population. The natality and mortality rates of one species follow the rates of the other species.

<em>Delayed density dependence dynamics regulate populations and allow the occurrence of equilibrium or balance in nature.</em>

<u>Predator-prey scenarios</u>

Assuming that the prey lives in the ideal environment with no predators, it shows an exponential growth rate. Prey can grow, develop, and reproduce, increasing its population size. The more available items, the more predator there will be. The predator population increase in size, and its presence affects the prey populations, leading it to decrease. So there are fewer available items to prey on.    

The prey population also affects the predator population. After the increase in the predator population size, the number of available prey decreases. The predator lives in an ideal environment but depends on the prey density. The more predators there are, the fewer prey there will be left. The predator population decreases exponentially due to the item's lack. The predation rate depends on density as well as natality and mortality rates.

So, to sum up,

  1. prey population increases in size
  2. predator population increases in size
  3. prey population decreases in size
  4. predator population decreases in size

In this particular example, the wolves population follows the moose population and vice-versa. It is not simultaneous. It happens with a delay.

<em>Moose influences the wolf population because they are their source of food. The more moose, the more wolves there are. The fewer moose, the fewer wolves there are. </em>

This is a density-dependent dynamic because both populations are affected when they reach a high value.

Viscosity refers to the speed at which a substance can flow (i.e. the thickness of the substance/its ability to flow). I think that's the closest the English language gets.

The crossing of a hybrid and a dominant purebred will always result in offspring which are what?
inn [45]

Answer:

Dominant

Explanation:

A hybrid trait is also known as heterozygous, which is the combination of the dominant and recessive alleles of a gene. On the other hand, a purebred is combination of the same two dominant alleles or the same two recessive alleles. For example, in the gene coding for height, allele for tallness (T) is dominant over the allele for shortness (t).

A purebred for this trait will either be "TT" or "tt" while a heterozygous or hybrid will be Tt. Hence, according to this question, crossing of a hybrid (Tt) and a dominant purebred (TT) will always result in offspring which are DOMINANT (see attached image).

Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities and combine together to form hydrocarbon molecules. What type of bonds form
egoroff_w [7]
The type of bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is NON POLAR COVALENT BOND.
Covalent bond involves sharing of atoms between two elements; each element will donate electrons which will be equally shared by the elements involved. In the case of carbon and hydrogen, carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell, therefore it will form a covalent bond with four atoms of hydrogen each of which will donate one electron.
