Answer:

e. vertebrate

Explanation:

The question states that the organism posses the following characteristics:

  • Low biotic potential: this means that the maximum amount of offpring that this species can produce under best environmental conditions is actually low. Typically, large organisms have much lower biotic potential than smaller ones.
  • k-selected: this means that this species typically invest much more in fewer offspring rather than prioritizing many offspring.
  • iteroparous: means that can reproduce many times over one organisms's lifetime.
  • heterotrophic, fed upon by top carnivores large body size (> 2m tall): this shows that they are preys of large carnivores, thus it implies that the prey itself has a considerable size and it is not a plant.

Option a is discarded as seed cones are produced by conifers which are autotrophics.

Option b is incorrect as basidiocarps are typical of Basidiomycetes (fungi) which are not large and are rarely consumed by carnivores.

Option c and d correspond to small animals (e.g. arthropods) and with usually high biotic potential and r-selected species which prioritizes high growth population rates and offspring.

Then, option e (vertebrate) is consistent with belong to a k-selected, low biotic potential, iteroparus, heterotrophic species (e.g. a mammal).

Explain why water used by plants and animals today has been around for millions of years.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

All the water that is on earth today is the water that has been on the planet. Freshwater is a million years old. The same water is flowing in a continuous loop in the form of falling as rain and snow from the clouds to the earth’s surface. Running in rivers and ponds. This is due to the water cycle. The cycle where the water evaporates in the atmosphere and is from the atmosphere and then cloud loses the water as rain or snow.

Why are tropical rain forests such rich habitats for many species of animals?
xenn [34]
Tropical rainforests are rich habitats for many species of animals because there are many resources available. There is a lot of water available and a lot of plants. <span> it offers lots of niches for different species. The trees are kind of like skyscrapers, with different species living at different levels and at each level there is a range of species with certain adaptations to allow them to thrive.</span>

Which of the following events is NOT typically included in fitness evaluations?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

B. shot put.

The evaluation of fitness could be figured out with the health related level, parts like flexibility, the strength of muscular, capability of aerobic exercise, etc. In order to remains fit for a daily life maintains the stress level so that the work could be done in easy manner without taking any stress or fatigue

For evaluating the fitness, the push-ups, running, and the standing long jump is involved but the shot put is not involved

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

sun/ visible light

moon/ invisible light

Explanation:

The Sun is the dominant source for visible-light waves our eyes receive. The outer-most layer of the Sun's atmosphere, the corona, can be seen in visible light. But it is so faint it cannot not be seen except during a total solar eclipse because the bright photosphere overwhelms it.The moon shines because its surface reflects light from the sun. And despite the fact that it sometimes seems to shine very brightly, the moon reflects only between 3 and 12 percent of the sunlight that hits it.

Identify the interaction used to describe each type of interdependence among organisms.
GalinKa [24]

The interaction between red-billed oxpecker and impala is mutualism. The interaction between titan triggerfish and smaller fishes is commensalism.

<h3>Mutualism and Commensalism</h3>

Mutualism is a form of symbiotic interaction between two organisms in which both organisms benefit from the interaction without being negatively affected in any way.

Commensalism, on the other hand, is a form of interaction between two organisms in which one (the commensal) gains and the other neither benefits nor lose from the interaction.

The red-billed oxpecker gets its food off the fur of the Impala. The tick that serves as food for red-billed oxpecker is a parasite that harms the impala. Thus, the red-billed oxpecker gets its food while the impala gets the ticks that can harm it removed. A mutually beneficial relationship.

The activities of the Titan triggerfish benefit smaller fishes. The Titan triggerfish neither benefits nor gets harmed in the interaction. A form of commensalism.
