What affects do islands have on animal size

Biology
1 answer:
Sever21 [200]3 years ago
7 0

There's two effects that the islands have on the size of the animals, reducing of size, or increasing of size. The reducing of size is known as island dwarfism, while the increase in size is known island gigantism.

The effect of the island environment effects different types of animals in different manner, and it also has to be taken in account the size of the island. In general, the small animals tend to increase their size on the islands, while the large animals tend to decrease in size. The reason for this is that the smaller animals, because of the isolation, usually lack predators or they are very few, but also have sufficient amounts of food, thus they grow in size. The larger animals though, decrease their size because there isn't enough food on the islands to support them, thus with the decrease in size they consume less. Also, since they usually lack predators, they do not have to be large in order to defend themselves.

Outline three examples of cycles of inorganic nutrients. For each, outline the uses of the nutrients in living organisms, its me
Serggg [28]

The three examples of cycles of inorganic nutrients are Nitrogen, carbon and sulphur cycle.

Nitrogen is required to make amino acids and DNA in organisms. Carbon is the main component of glucose through which organism make energy, about 18 per-cent of the human body comprises carbon. Sulphur is an important constituent of some proteins, amino acids and enzyme cofactors.

Explanation:

The biogeochemical cycles like the nitrogen cycle are responsible for converting nitrogen into many chemical forms as nitrates, nitrites, ammonia. This process involves degrade decomposing animal and plant matter and naturally cleaning the environment also nitrites and nitrates become biofertilizers. The plants take nitrogen through their roots and in turn primary consumer in food chain ie. organisms consume the plant and eventually releases nitrogen as a waste material, dead and decaying body to the soil and cycle goes on.

In the carbon cycle the carbon is exchanged from the atmosphere to the organisms and then again to the environment. Plants perform photosynthesis by using carbon dioxide, primary consumer eats it and gets nutrition to perform cellular respiration, in turn, gets energy which gets dissipated and stored as biomass eventually in the course consumer die and replenish the soil with carbon. The Carbon emitted will keep cycling through air, water and soil.

The sulphur cycle involves the movement of sulphur between rocks, water and living beings and plants. Plants ( producers) absorb sulphur dissolved in water and animal consume these plants to replenish their sulphur requirement. And when organism die, sulphur enter the cycle again.

There will be a transfer of these inorganic nutrients to the trophic level in food chain.

Groundwater deposits are under threat of depletion and pollution. What are three appropriate solutions for preserving groundwate
Ugo [173]
Groundwater is the body of water derived from percolation, contained within the soil, sub-soil and underlying rocks above an impermeable layer. The top layer of groundwater is known as the water table and it marks the permanent zone of saturation. Three appropriate ways for preserving groundwater are:

- Recycling groundwater for use
-Regulating the amount of groundwater used to water neighbourhood lawns
-Monitoring the chemicals used in fossil fuel extraction

Complete question: The chart shows the movement of a ball after several seconds.

Column A is on the x-axis, and Column B is on the y-axis. Which titles should replace A and B?

a. Column A should be “Time,” and Column B should be “Position.”

b. Column A should be “Position,” and Column B should be “Time.”

c. Column A should be “Velocity,” and Column B should be “Speed.”

d. Column A should be “Speed,” and Column B should be “Velocity.”

Answer:

Column A should be "Time," and Column B should be  "Position"

Explanation:

In general, the first column always refers to the x-axis, this is the independent variables. While the second column refers to the y-axis, the dependent variables.

Option A) names Time and Position to the columns. This seems to be correct as time is an independent variable, while the ball position depends on time. The x-axes is named "time", and the Y-axes is named "ball position".

Option B) is not possible because the Position is not the independent variable, and time is not the dependent variable.

Option C) and D) are not possible, as both of them are variables that depend on time.
