Hi everyone!:) i just need help with this science question in my textbook!
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: In a simple sense, growth in population is a good thing as it means that a species is thriving and doing well in its environment as well as reproducing at desirable rates.  However, if population continues and continues to grow it will eventually reach a cap where an environment can no longer hold more members of that specific species because there is a limit on food and places of shelter.  This leads to natural rises and declines in a species over time (which can be very predictable as well.)  A downside to rapid and sustained population growth is that if a species keeps growing and growing without reaching its cap (which happens a lot with introduced species into an environment which were not there naturally) is that they can overrun and destroy a natural environment and damage the ecosystem.  Animals and species which are already there can have their population numbers drastically reduced because of this invasive species and may be forced to move to a new area.

Explanation:

In the Devonian Period, woods and land plants developed and vertebrates performed their presentation. Four-legged vertebrates developed during the Carboniferous Period, which created an improvement in the number of land-based bodies. The climate of the continental inland sections was very heated through the Devonian Period and usually quite dry while woods and land plants developed during the Carboniferous period.

What is the life cycle of a parasite in stages ?<br> Please help me thank you
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. Explanation: The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the broomrapes. There are six major parasitic strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism, trophically transmitted parasitism, vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation.
