Orchids are flowering plants that depend on bees for pollination. A population of orchids in a rainforest has reached its carryi

ng capacity. The size of the rainforest's bee population is a limiting factor of the orchid population. What will happen to the orchids' carrying capacity if the rainforest's bee population decreases? A. The carrying capacity will not change because it is a constant property of a species. B. The carrying capacity will not change because it is a constant property of an ecosystem. C. The carrying capacity will decrease because the level of the limiting factor decreases. D. The carrying capacity will increase because the level of the limiting factor decreases.

Ans.

The carrying capacity of a biological population in is defined as the maximum size of population or number of individuals of that species that can be sustained indefinitely by an environment, given the water, habitat, food and other resources.

Decrease in available resources lead to decrease in carrying capacity of an environment for a population. The rainforest's bee population is a limiting factor for orchid population, decrease in bee population will lead to decrease in orchid population.

Hence, the carrying capacity will decrease due to decrease in limiting factor as the number of orchids that can be sustained by the environment would decreases.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option). C.'

Kenny has a sore throat and visits the doctor. The nurse collects a throat swab, places the swab on a petri dish, and then place
Doss [256]
The answer is C: because growth at 37°C would be ideal for revealing bacteria that are human pathogens. 37°C is equivalent to 98.6°F, the normal body temperature for humans. If bacteria are reproducing at this temperature in a petri dish, they are also most likely reproducing in the body. 

Cultures are made so doctors can be sure a person is sick with a specific bacteria often in order to make sure they are taking the right medication to get better. Choice A doesn't make sense, because we wouldn't want to kill the bacteria we are trying to study. Bacteria that makes us sick is harmful bacteria and is what we are trying to isolate. Choice B doesn't make sense, because they are only being incubated at one temperature, not a range or variety. Choice D is harder to rule out, but again the doctor wants the bacteria to reproduce so they can be sure that's what is causing the infection, so it wouldn't make sense that we would put the bacteria in a temperature they would not reproduce.

Y_Kistochka [10]

During human gestation, rudiments of all organs develop in the first trimester.

<h3>What is the first trimester?</h3>
  • Most people (including your doctors and midwives) divide a full-term pregnancy, which lasts about 9 months, into three 'trimesters'.
  • The first trimester of pregnancy is measured from the first day of your last period to week 12, even though you are pregnant from the moment of conception, when a male sperm fertilizes your ovum (egg), when you become pregnant.
  • This is so that the majority of women who conceive naturally won't be aware of the conception date.
  • Because the changes that occur to you and your unborn child fall into the three general categories of early, middle, and late pregnancy first, second, and third trimesters are a useful way to think about pregnancy.
