The correct answer is C. An increasse in the coyote population.

Explanation

The food chain is a system of food relationships between producer, consumer, and decomposer organisms. This system, in other words, serves to inform which organism eats which, because a living being feeds on another that precedes it in the chain and so on is eaten by the one that follows it. According to the example in the question, vegetation would be the first organism in the chain, the second organism would be the rabbit and the third organism would be the coyote. Likewise, if the coyote population increased , the coyotes would eat more rabbits so, the Cottontail rabbit population will decrease. So, the correct answer is A. C. An increasse in the coyote population.

The answer is C because if there are more coyotes, more rabbits would be eaten by them.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Glucose entering the intestines from the villus.This is by active transport.The latter is defined as the movement of molecules and  solutes from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

All the above options depends on the diffusion gradients from one  higher region to another.e.g oxygen passing from high concentration from outside to lower concentration in blood stream,like wise Co2 from higher concentration from inside to outside,with passive diffusion lipids and water enter the small intestine(note amino acid and glucose,and fructose are different).

Active transport( through sodium dependent transporter) transports glucose to the intestine  from the villus.This is movements against concentration gradient because,glucose molecule are concentrated in intestine,and needed by the cells, in the body.Therefore they must be transported as a fast rate inn the blood .

However the absorption by the villi is very slow,therefore active transport is needed to move these against the concentration gradient into the intestine.And finally the blood.

If this were to be moved by  passive diffusion,the high concentration in the intestine will force this back into the villi

Therefore extra energy is needed by active transport for the glucose molecules to enter the intestine from the villus.

How does studying the life cycle of microorganisms relate to modern medicine?
Galina-37 [17]

Science study the life cycle of pathogens in order to find a way to interrupt the course of disease and spread of infection. Scientist study the life cycle of microorganism in order to find a way to cancer and other chronic illness.

Explanation:

The life cycle of microorganisms causing disease in the human is studied to know what agents or antibiotics would stop their activity. There are techniques used such as chemotherapy to kill the invading viruses. The antibiotics are made this way to stop bacterial growth. The agents would be invented to put stop at the particular phase of the life cycle to inhibit growth of the pathogen. It would get convenient to make agents if at immune level it is known what phase of their cycle is reactive.

What happens to the number of radioactive (parent) compared to the number of daughter atoms as the simulation proceeds?
forsale [732]

Answer:The number of daughter atoms increase and the number of radioactive (parent) atoms decrease.

Explanation:

In the process of radioactive decay the unstable atom nuclei of the parent nucelus breaks down and split so as to release the daughter atoms or nuclei along with release of energy in the form of heat. Thus as the decay process proceeds the concentration of the parent atom decreases but the concentration of daughter atom increases.
