pickupchik [31]3 years ago

Osmosis is the movement of water particles from an area of high concentration of water particles to an area of low concentration of water particles across a semi permeable membrane

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration of particles to an area of low concentration of particles across a partially permeable membrane

Plasmolysis is the shrinking of the cytoplasm if a plant cell in response to diffusion of water out of the cell and into a high salt concentration solution as the cell membrane would pull away from the cell wall

A forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears. This is because?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

A forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears because bears are the supreme predators of their ecosystem and very few animals can hunt bears so nature by supporting a limited number of bear populations supports a balanced number of population of its prey like insects, fishes, deer.

Another reason for the limited population of bear is that bear occupies the highest trophic level in the ecosystem so according to 10% law of energy transfer, it will get very less energy from its food so it needs to eat more.  

Therefore the population of bears is limited because the environment can not meet the energy requirement of many bears so a forest ecosystem can support a limited number of bears.
