Answer:

Limiting factors include resources such as:

1. Food

2. Water

3. Light

4. Lack of space

5. Shelter

Limiting factors are resources or factors in the environment that can lower the rate of population growth. Limiting factors can lower birth rates, increase death rates, or lead to emigration by shortage of food leading to competition and death of the weaks ones, lack of water leading to dehydration.

Answer:

Population control, or a limitation on how many children you are allowed to conceive, significantly affects the population number by lowering it. Also, factors such as social pressure can be a determining factor as well. If you have more than the "normal" amount of kids, or whatever is considered "normal" in a community can cause gossip, rumors, and eventually, the rumors will take over a person and he or she will not want to be viewed as a "freak" and will most likely want to stop conceiving children, causing the population to lower.

a scientist kept 500 grams of a radioactive material in a container. after 60 minutes, he observed that 62.5 grams of the radioa

Gnoma [55]

After the 1st half-life 250 g of the radioactive material will be left.
After the 2nd half-life 125 g of the radioactive material will be left. 
After the 3rd half-life 62.5 g of the radioactive material will be left. 

Therefore after 60 minutes, 3 half lives would have occurred. 

Therefore the half-life = 60 / 3 = 20 minutes when 250 grams of the original material would have remained radioactive. 

Therefore the answer is A) About 250 gram of the material decayed in 20 minutes.

Which two (2) statements are correct examples of the “structure determines function” relationship among specialized cells in an

Nady [450]

Answer:

A and E are the correct.

Explanation:

Examples of the structures that determine function:

a) Chloroplasts only found in plant cells. They work to fix the CO2 in the presence of light energy (sunlight) and convert the reactants into sugar molecules (carbohydrates) that can be used by cells for metabolic functioning.

e) Sperm is the male reproductive cell. Motile sperm cells have a tail-like structure that typically move via flagella and requires a water medium in order to swim toward the egg for fertilization.

Other options are not correct because they don't explain their function according to their structure.
