Answer:
There is no data to show but there would definitely be a decrease in the population of the other organisms in lower trophic level (sea otter).
Explanation:
This question involves an aquatic food chain involving organisms like clams, sea stars, sea otters, and sharks. In this question, the shark appears to occupy the highest trophic level i.e. tertiary consumer. Ideally, as the food chain progresses from the lowest to highest trophic level, the population of each organism decreases.
However, an increase in the population of sharks will mean more mouths to feed on other consumers. Hence, causing a decrease in the population of other organisms in lower trophic level especially the organism that occupies the secondary consumer trophic level.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Each enzyme operates best within a certain pH range.
Metabolism involves the over-all chemical reactions of the body. It is divided into two kinds. The first one is catabolism which is the breaking down of molecules to acquire energy. Anabolism, the other type, is the synthesis of all the molecules that are needed by the cells.
The answer is c. Deciduous trees lose their leaves to prevent nutrient and water loss.
Losing leaves is a trees' strategy to survive cold winters. It is known that trees primarily lose water through leaves. In the winter, there is no enough water to replace that lost water. If the trees were not to throw away their leaves, they will soon dry out. Also, before falling the leaves begin, reabsorb all nutrients from the leaves and store it for the cold winter. Thus, losing leaves is important to prevent both nutrient and water loss during the winter.
The equation for density is:
where the mass is in grams and the volume is in 
.
We are given 4,000 kilograms, and we know that there are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram, so we need to multiply to convert to grams:
We are also given 0.5 
, and we need to convert to . We know that there are 100 cm in 1 m, and since we are talking about cubic volume, we must also raise 100 to the 3rd power: 
. So now we know that there are 1,000,000 in 1 . We need to then multiply 1,000,000 cm by 0.5 in order to find the volume that was given in the question:
So now that we have the correct units, let's plug them into the equation:
So now we know that the density is 8g/cubic centimeter.
