Answer:

Carbon is a non-metallic and solid chemical element that is found in certain inorganic compounds and in all organic compounds. There are several types of carbons, which are the following:

CRYSTALS

Diamond: by having a SP 3 hybridization, this carbon is the hardest element. It is characterized by having a tetrahedral structure. It is characterized by being a high quality electrical insulator and is also a semiconductor.

Graphite: this material is composed of numerous sheets that have hexagonally located carbon atoms. Thanks to its SP 2 hybridization it manages to conduct electricity.

AMORPHES

A. Natural: these carbons are impure and are the result of the petrification processes of decomposed organic materials.

Coal: this rock has different percentages of carbon ranging between 50% and 80% of its totality. It is characterized by its black being with greasy or matte sheen, it is brittle, extremely hard and consists of compressed lignite.

Peat: This material is characterized by its abundance of carbon, has a rather dark brown color and is composed of compact organic matter. Something that differentiates it from the other materials is that the peat can crumble.

Anthracite: this mineral is the one with the highest amount of carbon, which reaches 95% of its total composition. It has a characteristic brightness and hardness.

Lignite: this has a texture similar to wood, matter from which it comes. It is brown or black and is formed from compressed peat.

B. Artificial: these are stone carbons which depend on their composition and age.

Animal carbon: this material is the result of bones that undergo dry combustion or distillation.

Coke coal: this fuel is acquired from distilled coal that calcites are added to achieve better combustion. This process is carried out in closed furnaces where the fuel is subjected to extremely high temperatures.

Retort coal: this material, widely used in construction, is a good conductor of electricity and heat. It is characterized by its hardness and is found in retort walls of refractory material. In them, coal is distilled.

Which statement best explains why the population stabilized and why?!

goldenfox [79]

Answer: C. The population size became limited due to factors such as availability of food.

Explanation:

Out of all the choices, C is the most likely to happen since more often then not, food runs out because a species has too many members. C is an example of the environment’s carrying capacity limiting the chipmunk species.

Since we are not told if the chipmunk population is really small, interbreeding may not happen. Predators hunt prey, not eat fruits like chipmunks do (I’m assuming what chipmunks eat.) If there was a predator species that came in, they would hunt the chipmunks instead of competing for the same resources. D just doesn’t make much sense in my opinion because that wouldn’t limit the chipmunk population.

What is the bottle neck effect?

inessss [21]

Answer:

The bottleneck effect, also known as a population bottleneck, is when a species goes through a "bottleneck" event that suddenly significantly reduces its population. ... The bottleneck effect is a type of genetic drift, which is defined as a random change in allele frequencies.

Which of these is a technique used in forest management, farming, prairie restoration or greenhouse gas abatement where a fire i

Dafna11 [192]

This is called 'controlled' or 'prescribed' burning. Usually fires in the environment are regarded as undesirable and dangerous, but fires actually fulfil an important ecological role, and animals and plants had adapted to a certain frequency and intensity of fires. The seeds of some trees or grasses germinate after forest or grass fires, as the more open conditions after a fire allows the seedlings to compete and avoid being shaded and smothered by more established trees. Unfortunately, farming and forestry practices have in many cases resulted in a reduction of fires. A reduction in the frequency of fires also allows the build up of dead wood, and when a wild fire does occur, the amount of available fuel results in very hot, large and damaging fires. Therefore, management of forests and other environments such as prairies often use controlled burns to avoid the buildup of dead organic mass and to replicate the natural fire cycle.
