What first spurred research into what has now become green building?

1 answer:

8 0

San Francisco has an opportunity to reap tremendous economic, environmental, and health benefits by adopting recent advances in “green building”—benefits that will only increase in value over time. Many standard building design, construction, operation, and renovation practices are outmoded, inefficient, costly, and have adverse health and economic effects. The shift to new, environmentally sensitive practices would maintain San Francisco’s status as a leader in urban planning and environmental innovation. A shift to green buildings is also vital to enhancing San Francisco’s livability for its residents, workers, and visitors.

What would most likely happen to a native predator species if a nonnative predator species were introduced to an area?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

B. The native species population would decrease because the nonnative species would be competing for food sources.

Explanation:

This question is describing the effect of invasive species. Invasive species are foreign species i.e. not native to a habitat or area, introduced into the area with the ability to outcompete and negatively affect the native species of that area.

Invasive species compete with the native species for food, space, mate etc., and tend to outgrow them. Hence, if a nonnative predator (invasive) species were introduced to an area, the native predator species in that area would decrease because the nonnative species would be competing for food sources.

What could a scientist do to determine what era the Eocene Period belongs to on the geologic time scale?

Burka [1]

Answer:

Option B) study information related to the Cenozoic era

Explanation:

The complete question is

Scientists discovered that the Eocene time period existed in Earths history around 34 MYA. What do they need to do to determine what time period Eocene belongs to on the geologic time scale?

A) learn what happened during Precambrian time

B) study information related to the Cenozoic era

C) view the timing of events in the Mesozoic era

D) research events that happened during the Paleozoic era

Solution -

The period of Eocene belong to the Cenozoic era. The Cenozoic era is divided into three periods-

a) The Paleogene – Existed between 65.5 to 23.03 million years ago

b) The Neogene - Existed between 23.03 to 2.6 million years ago

c) The Quaternary – Started some 2.6 million years ago and is continuing till present

The Paleogene is subdivided into three epochs –

A) The Paleocene – existed between 65.5 to 55.8 million years ago

B) The Eocene – existed between 55.8 to 33.9 million years ago and

C) The Oligocene – existed between 33.9 to 23.03 million years ago

Hence, studying about Cenozoic era will give information about the Eocene epoch

Hence, option B is correct

Answer:

There is no diagram but

It would be A if you were looking at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

It would be B if you were looking at a mitochondrion.

I do not remember what C is, so if it is not the ER, Golgi apparatus, or the mitochondrion, it is most likely C.

It would be D if you were looking at a Golgi apparatus

Dominik [7]

Answer:

Environmental Resistance

Explanation:

Environmental resistance can be defined as all the factors including physical factors, chemical factors and environmental factors including biotic and abiotic factors (e.g drought, mineral deficiencies, and competition) limiting the life forms of an organism or kind of organism and impose a restriction on their numerical increase. These factors limit the growth of species in a population.
