What characteristics are shared by most or all crustaceans?
KIM [24]
Most crustaceans are aquatic, or reside in water habitats.

Instead of vertebrae, crustaceans have a hard outer shell called an exoskeleton. 

They also have segmented bodies, with appendages extending from each segment.

Here's a fun fact: crustaceans have single-chambered hearts and an open circulatory system.

A population of 20 monarch butterfly is colonize a meadow. The meadows carrying capacity for a monarch butterfly's is 5000 indiv
Tanya [424]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A.

The population grows exponentially until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then the population size begins to decrease.

B.

The population grows exponentially until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then its growth rate decreases.

C.

The population grows at a constant rate until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then its growth rate increases.

D.

The population grows at a constant rate until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then the population size remains stable.

The statement that best described the growth rate of the Monarch butterfly after the Meadow was colonized would be that <u>the population grows at a constant rate until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then the population size remains stable.</u>

<em>The carrying capacity generally represents the maximum number of individuals of a particular species an environment can support based on the resources that the environment has. Ideally, the population only stabilizes with very minimal oscillation around the carrying capacity. It neither decreases nor increases significantly unless a major disruption happens.</em>

The only option that addresses the stability of populations around the carrying capacity of the environment is option D.

The correct answer is D.

The diameter of a human hair is about how many times the diameter of a single pollen grain?
eduard
<span>The diameter of a human hair is more than 1000 times the diameter of a single pollen grain. Pollen grains of pines, firs, and spruces are winged. The smallest pollen grain, that of the forget-me-not (Myosotis spp.), is around 6 µm (0.006 mm) in diameter. Wind-borne pollen grains can be as large as about 90–100 µm.</span>

Answer:

Deer’s Point of View


What would you do if you did not have clean oxygen to breathe?  The air is being polluted because of your factories and car fumes. It’s causing global warming and even negatively affecting the Polar Bears. You need to be aware of the other living organisms and environments. Remember, you can’t turn back time, so don’t wait until many more species are extinct, act now.
