Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.

It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.

However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.

So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.

How do pioneer species make ecological succession possible on an island formed from a volcanic eruptions
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>3. they break down rock into soil in which plants can grow</em>

Explanation:

When a disaster is such huge that even the soil and organic matter get removed from the place, then the succession that will occur in such kind of place will be termed as primary succession. For example, a volcanic eruption or an earthquake.

On the other hand, if after a disaster some of the organic matter remains on the land, then the succession that will occur will be termed as secondary succession. E.g a succession after fire

In primary succession, the pioneer species will be plants that require less soil such as the lichens. The lichens will break down the rocks into the soil and eventually new species of plants will start to grow on the land.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3}

Explanation:

An element only has <u>one</u> type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemical means.

Let's analyze the answer choices.

1. This has two types of atoms, so it cannot be an element. It has more than one type of atom.

2. This has two types of atoms that are bonded together. It cannot be an element because there is more than one type of atom and the bonds can be broken.

3. This has one type of atoms, so it is an element.  

Therefore the best answer choice is 3.
