Answer:

the higher the diversity, the higher the populations of all the

photosynthetic organisms

Explanation:

Diversity in plant allows random mating also known as panmixia. It allows plant have equal chances of being mated too by any among them creating variations in the population. It leads to less fixed gene, reduce genetic drift leading to an increases population as some lethal gene may be lost due to recombination of gene among individual plant.

Where there is no diversity some gene becomes fixed leading to perpetuation of some traits that may be harmful in a population but diversity allows for the generation of new gene and allele frequency within a population.

A ship is at anchor. Over its side hangs a rope ladder with rungs a foot apart. The

Triss [41]

Answer:

At the end of 6 hours, 6 feet of the ladder remained above water

Explanation:

we are given the following:

change in tide = 8 inches per hour

1 hour = 8 inches

∴ 6 hours = 8 × 6 = 48 inches

Now, since the length of the ladder is measured in foot, let us convert the rate of tide rising to foot.

12 inches = 1 foot

dividing both sides by 12:

$1\ inch=\frac{1}{12}\ feet\\ \therefore 48\ inches\ =\ 48\ \times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\frac{48}{12}\\ = 2 feet$

Therefore, after 6 hours, the tide rises by 2 feet.

Next, we are told that the rope ladder at the beginning was 8 feet, hence the length remaining above water after 6 hours of the rising of the tide is calculated as follows:

= 8 feet above water

height of tide = 2 feet = amount submerged in water

∴ length above water = (ladder before rising of the tide) - (amount submerged in water)

length above water = 8 - 2 = 6 feet

Therefore at the end of 6 hours, 6 feet of the ladder remained above water

What is usually (but not always) related to the metabolic processes of living organisms in its organic form?

mafiozo [28]

Energy is usually related to the metabolic processes of living organisms in its organic form.

Many cellular processes require a steady supply of energy provided by the cell’s metabolism. Signaling molecules such as hormones and neurotransmitters must be synthesized and then transported between cells. Pathogenic bacteria and viruses are ingested and broken down by cells. Cells must also export waste and toxins to stay healthy, and many cells must swim or move surrounding materials via the beating motion of cellular appendages like cilia and flagella.
