Biology

Ann [662]3 years ago

The salt in the ocean comes from the rocks on land. The rain that falls onto land caontains some kind of dissovled carbon dioxide from the air. And that causes the water to be a bit acid to carbolic acid. Also rain replenishes freshwater in rivers and streams, so they don’t taste salty. However, the water in the ocean collects all of the salt and minerals from all of the rivers that flow into it.<span>

Which natural disaster actually increases biodiversity over the long term?
likoan [24]

<span>All natural disasters affect the ecosystem.  They affect lands, forests, and coasts and cause death to people, plants and animal species, the spread of invasive species, and loss of habitat. In the short term, they cause climate change but over time, there are some types of natural disasters that increase biodiversity in the long run. Examples of these are earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires. They play an important role in rejuvenating the ecosystem that they once destroyed.</span>

In this question, let us cite one specific example:

<span>1.      </span><span>Volcanic eruption.  The eruption has an immediate negative effect on surrounding, but through primary succession, the forest begins re-colonization almost immediately. Many plants, insects, and animal species arrive from adjacent places to take up residence. These life forms are adapted to survive in the severe conditions following volcanic eruption causing a new and more diverse forest ecosystem that will last a 150 year period.</span>

solong [7]

Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus, unlike prokaryotic cells. Plant cells also have chloroplasts, unlike animal cells and prokaryotic cells, because prokaryotic cells do not contain any membrane-bound organelles (e.g. nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria etc.)

Study these diagrams. The dots represent valence electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom. Which diagram shows the valence elec
steposvetlana [31]
In the picture attached to this question, the two diagrams above did not show very well but I believe that the first diagram contain four dots, which means that the correct option is A.
Carbon has six electrons, that is why 6 is its atomic number is 6 . In writing electronic configuration, two electrons are usually placed in the most inner shell while the other shells will have 8 electrons each. In the case of carbon which has 6 electrons, only four will remain after 2 electron has been put in its inner shell. Therefore the number of electron in its outermost shell will be four.
