A flood hit an area, destroying much of the surrounding ecosystem. One animal species survived the flood, but all of its competi

tors were eliminated. Despite the reduced competition and an abundance of other resources, there was no substantial growth recorded in the population of the surviving species. What are the plausible reasons for this lack of population growth?

Answer:

The correct answer will be-changes in abiotic and biotic factors of the ecosystem.

Explanation:

In the question, the area was flooded which destroyed the surrounding ecosystem as it killed the species living there.

One animal species survived and its competitors eliminated but still, growth of the surviving species was not recorded after the flood as natural catastrophe could have destroyed the abiotic factors there as soil and vegetation found.  These changes lead to the scarcity of the available resources which slowed down the growth of the organisms.

Thus, changes in abiotic and biotic factors of the ecosystem are the correct answer.

Which two factors below make rapid and substantial blood loss life-threatening?
KIM [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d. loss of blood pressure and loss of oxygen-carrying capacity.

Explanation:

  • Blood is a liquid connective tissue which is the major component responsible for transporting nutrients and oxygen to all the cells in the body and for removing carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes from all the cells of the body.
  • When there is excessive blood loss, the total volume of blood in the body decreases far below normal. As a result of this the blood pressure (pressure applied by the blood on the walls of the arteries) decreases.
  • This is because the rate at which blood is lost is far more than the rate at which it is produced.
  • The decrease in blood pressure prevents the blood from travelling easily against the gravity, hence it is unable to reach all the regions of the body, thereby depriving many cells of nutrients and oxygen. The waste products are also not efficiently collected from these cells. This causes the cells in the deprived regions to die.
  • Blood carries the most important component required for respiration and metabolism, that is oxygen, in association with haemoglobin molecules. Excessive blood loss causes loss of haemoglobin as well. This can cause reduction in the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Hence the cells of the body are unable to carry out metabolic activities properly due to the dearth of oxygen. This causes the death of cells.
  • Excessive death of cells causes tissues to become non-functional and that can cause organ failure. Multiple organ failure can pose severe threat to life.

Typical United States weather patterns show the continental polar air mass moving south toward the Gulf of Mexico. Why does this
Reptile [31]
The correct answer is letter (<span>C) The polar air mass moves south to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.</span> These air masses are bringing cold air to warmer areas most especially during the winter and cool. These air masses are stable and usually does not form much cloud. While the Continental Polar air move down south, across the warmer land, the lower part of the air mass is modified and thus few clouds are formed.
