Answer:

The best estimate of population density of this particular Octopus spieces is (TOTAL POPULATION OF THE OCTOPUS)/(TOTAL AREA OF LAND)

Population density = (15/6) Octopus per hectare

Explanation:

To estimate the population density of a spiece in a particular area of land, we count the total number of the specie in the area and divide the total number by the area of the sampling region.

Above, the marine ecologist counts the number of octopus in three different intertidal regions that are each two hectares. The octopus counts are 7, 2, and 6 respectively.

Therefore, the total number of Octopus is 7 + 2 + 6 making 15. The regions are 2 hectares each. Since there are three of the intertidal regions, the total area is 2 x 3(6 hectares).

Therefore, Population density = (15/6) Octopus per hectare

Viktor [21]

Calories from saturated fats and/or added sugars in foods that have little or no nutritional value, such as sausages and ice cream, are called Empty Calories.

Calories can be defined as the amount of energy extracted from the food which an individual eats throughout the day. According to dietary guidelines, a young person [20-25 years old] must intake between 1,600 and 3,000 calories per day.

Foods such as sausages, ice cream, pizza, and soft drinks have a high amount of empty calories because solid fats and added sugars are used in their manufacturing to add flavors and make the food more appealing but they have no nutritional value.

The amount of empty calories a person intakes should be decreased by avoiding such food items and drinks.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.
