Suppose that the number of newborns (N) in an insect population can be predicted from the number of adult insects (I) according

to the following equation, where r and b are variables related to the rates of population growth: N=rI−bI2. Calculate N if r=1.5, b=0.0015, and I=500. Rounding to the nearest whole number, N equals which of the following?
a) 1880
b) 375
c) 188
d) 749

Answer:

d: 749

Explanation:

From the equation, N = rl - bl2, where N is the number of newborns, l is the number of adult insects, and r and b are variables; with all the components given, N can be calculated by direct substitution.

Since r = 1.5, b = 0.0015, and l = 500, therefore, substitute for r, b, and l to get N such that;

N = 1.5(500) - (0.0015)(500)2

         750 - 1.5

N = 748.5

Rounding to the nearest whole number. N = 749.

<em>The correct answer is d.</em>

After the experiment,scientists organize and _the data?
telo118 [61]

The experiment is the procedure performed to prove a hypothesis. The researchers perform an experiment, which can provide data to prove, if the hypothesis suggested is true or not.

After conduction of the experiment several times, the researchers collect all the data and organize it. After organization of the data properly, they analyze the data collected, so that they can formulate, if the hypothesis is true or not.

Hence, the given blank can be filled with Analyze.

Bacteriorhodopsin pumps protons across the bacterial plasma membrane from the cytosolic side to the extracellular side of the me
julsineya [31]

Answer: Option B.

B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration.

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by archaea or half bacteria that pumps proton across membrane by using the light energy from sun to move protons across membrane. It is found in purple membrane of archaea cells which is known as two dimensional crystalline patches.

It captures photon energy through chromophore retina which is covalently bound and transporting the photons against their electrochemical gradients from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space.

Why does acid rain adamage mountain lebrty
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

When sulfurous, sulfuric, and nitric acids in polluted air and rain react with the calcite in marble and limestone, the calcite dissolves. In exposed areas of buildings and statues, we see roughened surfaces, removal of material, and loss of carved details. Stone surface material may be lost all over or only in spots that are more reactive.

Explanation:

You might expect that sheltered areas of stone buildings and monuments would not be affected by acid precipitation. However, sheltered areas on limestone and marble buildings and monuments show blackened crusts that have peeled off in some places, revealing crumbling stone beneath. This black crust is primarily composed of gypsum, a mineral that forms from the reaction between calcite, water, and sulfuric acid. Gypsum is soluble in water; although it can form anywhere on carbonate stone surfaces that are exposed to sulfur dioxide gas (SO2), it is usually washed away. It remains only on protected surfaces that are not directly washed by the rain.

mestny [16]

Answer:

C) maleness results from the minimal presence of one Y chromosome

Explanation:

  • From the given question, it can be clearly observed that in males irrespective of whichever syndrome they have a Y chromosome is always present whereas in females Y chromosome is not present.
  • Hence, one cal conclude that whenever the Y chromosome is present the individual acquires male characters.
  • The Y chromosome whenever present produces the hormones that leads to maleness, and the number of Y chromosomes in males can also be more than  one such as in case of XYY Klinefelter syndrome.
