Answer:
Niche can be described as the role or position that a particular organism has in its ecosystem.
For example, honeybees which will gather nectar from flowers to make honey is an example of a niche. The particular role of honeybees in an ecosystem is to collect nectar in that ecosystem from different flowers and to produce honey. Other organisms living in the same environment will not perform the same function in the ecosystem.

Answer:
Anabolism is the synthesis of complex molecules in living organisms from simpler ones together with the storage of energy.
Examples of anabolism: bone growth and mineralization, and muscle mass build-up.
Catabolism: the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones, together with the release of energy.
Examples of Catabolism: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, the breakdown of muscle protein in order to use amino acids as substrates for gluconeogenesis, the breakdown of fat in adipose tissue to fatty acids, and oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters by monoamine oxidase.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>Genotype is the genetic composition of organisms and a gene is made up of two alleles.</em>
a) Since the allele for black is B, <u>the genotype for black chickens would be BB. </u>
b) Since the allele for white is W, <u>the genotype for white chickens would be WW.</u>
c) Since erminette color is heterozygous,<u> the genotype would be BW.</u>
d) Two erminette were crossed:
BW x BW
BB BW BW WW
i. <em>Probability of having black chick (BB) </em>= 1/4
ii. <em>Probability of having a white chick (WW)</em> = 1/4
iii. <em>Probability of having erminette chicken (BW)</em> = 1/2
Answer:
D. People who live in wealthier countries tend to consume more energy per person.
Explanation:
People in wealthy countries have access to many technologies such as phones, televisions, and house appliances like coffee makers. All of these use energy. Wealthy people also tend to have larger houses that require more electricity to light and heat/cool. People in developing countries do not have access to these technologies or large houses that consume large amounts of energy. Additionally, people in poverty are unable to afford the levels of energy that wealthy citizens can. For these reasons, wealthier countries consume more energy per person.
