A certain species of desert lizard digs tunnels in which to lay its eggs. The eggs must incubate inside the tunnel for several w

eeks before hatching, and they fail to hatch if they are disturbed at any time during this incubation period. Yet these lizards guard their tunnels for only a few days after laying their eggs.
Which of the following, if true, most helps explain why there is no need for lizards to guard their tunnels for more than a few days?(A) The eggs are at risk of being disturbed only during the brief egg-laying season when many lizards are digging in a relatively small area.(B) The length of the incubation period varies somewhat from one tunnel to another.(C) Each female lizard lays from 15 to 20 eggs, only about 10 of which hatch even if the eggs are not disturbed at any time during the incubation period.(D) The temperature and humidity within the tunnels will not be suitable for the incubating eggs unless the tunnels are plugged with sand immediately after the eggs are laid.(E) The only way to disturb the eggs of this lizard species is by opening up one of the tunnels in which they are laid.

Answer:

a. The eggs are at risk of being disturbed only during the brief egg  laying season when many lizards are digging in a relatively small area.

Explanation:

Lizards work like this, some species have egg to reproduce the babies, in this case, the lizard just stay some days to watch that there are no possible risk for the eggs. If the animal is completely sure that is a safe and a good place to leave the eggs, the lizard continue to do its own life.

After some months, the baby lizard need to figure out how to survive in this new world, as his/her mother did. They need to use its instinct.

Trava [24]
The very primitive organism is the oldest because, over time, organisms gradually evolved into more complex organisms. First came the primitive organism, then it evolved into the more complex one, or the younger fossil.

7. What is the kinetic energy of a 3-kilogram ball that is rolling at 2 meters per second?
nydimaria [60]
Kinetic energy = 0.5*M*V^2 

 Q7-
 
0.5*3*(2^2)= 6J

Q8a- 

0.5*2*(2^2)= 4J
0.5*4*(3^2)=18J 
the second ball has more kinetic energy.

Q8b-

at the max height, all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy, 

gravitational potential energy is = M*g*h

that theory would apply if you wanted to work out the maximum height achieved if the balls were thrown upward by rearranging. But, we are simply working out which ball will have more potential energy so:

First ball:
2kg*9.81(g)*10m = 196.2J

Second ball
4kg*9.81*10m= 392.4J

The second ball has more potential energy

How are mean and median alike?how are they different?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Mean is the average you'll get when you add all your numbers then divide by the number of numbers you have. On the opposite side, median is the middle number within your list of numbers. If there isn't a middle number, take the two middle numbers and add them. Now, for how they are alike, I'm not so sure :'), but my closest guess would be they are fairly close together.

Sorry it's so long, hope I helped you :')

julia-pushkina [17]
The direction of energy is hot to cold. So Joey’s thermal energy is moving from him to the water with convection.
